Closing the gap between students and parents is the primary quest of our Parent Council, headed by Mr. J. McDonough, Principal. Meeting monthly, this group discusses school activities and problems which concern the community. Back-to-School Night and the Scholarship Show are the two important programs sponsored each year. Funds raised by the Council aid deserving PHS stu¬ dents to continue their education. There is not only safety in numbers, but strength also. Therefore, the Parent Council hopes for a larger membership each year. People got to get together. Child Study Team ... Quest for Inner Peace! In contrast to the emphasis on a quest for life in outer space today, the Department of Psy¬ chological Research, Guidance and Special Edu¬ cation is involved in a quest for happiness and communication in the inner world of students who need help in adjusting to their environment. Under Dr. B. Barbarosh ' s supervision, the spe¬ cialists render invaluable aid to the school and the community by helping students find them¬ selves through testing, discussion, and therapy.

They always have a smile to offer and are glad to lend a helping hand. Besides dealing with the school popu¬ lation, these secretaries answer the in¬ cessant ringing of the telephone, type, arrange appointments, handle report cards, keep records of all money collected, and organize the schedules, for teachers and students, to mention only a few of their responsibilities.

Mark Slifko, Jose De La Cruz, Shi Yuey Tin, Jerry Blundo, Mark Jacobson enjoy the most popular period of the day. il CAFETERIA STAFF Back Row: Mrs. M. Jursch, Mrs. J. Tuzio, Mrs. A. Vavosa, Mrs. M. Schiros, Mrs. M. Titta. Front Row: Mrs. G. Holdefehr, Mrs. A. Boyle, Mrs. R. Gorham, Mrs. S. Shields, Mrs. E. Shaffer, Mrs. L. Gallo. Question: What ' s your favorite period of the day? Answer (Student in the Commons): Lunch, of I course After a long, active morning students and faculty alike looked forward to a hot bowl of soup, a crisp egg roll or a rich piece of chocolate layer cake. Counting their change while standing on line, they usually found that they have enough money to buy a complete lunch because the Pomptonian Caterers have tried to mini¬ mize their prices. Prices down, Quality up, could be sung for the cafeteria, before there was a much greater selection of desserts and side dishes, plus the fact that all of the meals tasted fresh and specially prepared. Mr. and Mrs. M. Coscia personally supervised the daily cooking. They established a good relationship with last year ' s staff, for if one noticed, most of the women who worked last year were those that served this year. 16
