SHADOWS OF THE PAST LIGHT THE FUTURE ONLY NAMES change! Although students differ at PHS, activities have remained the same year after year. Annual events have always been anxiously awaited by students and faculty. The 1963 Junior-Senior Prom was the fiftieth! Over the years this final tribute to Seniors has been held in homes, in club buildings, and finally at the school's gymnasium with lavish decorations. Sophomore girls have been elected to serve, the number increasing from four in 1917 to twelve in 1963. Assemblies have always played a part in school life. Serious, educational, and humorous assemblies were en- joyed by all. Perhaps most important and saddest of all was the Senior farewell review of their four years at PHS. Tears came to everyone's eyes as Seniors sang Loyal and True and Auld Lang Syne to Juniors and underclassmen. Homecoming Day, which began in 1954, gave PHS students a chance to meet and talk with exes. The crowning of a queen at the football game drew crowds of interested sports fans and exes. THE OWL debut and signing party, attended by all who could possibly come, climaxed the year. Staff mem- bers were recognized and rewarded for their work as they saw eager students reliving the past year. From 1913 to 1963, school activities have played a leading role in our education. Fun-filled events have established a strong bond of friendship between faculty and students. dirleictleilvby lVIis-svlldariiio This Senior pla Gala Occasions Crowd Fun Ink 1913-1923 0 Patriotically attired in red, white, and blue, 1919 Freshmen entertain in their class carnival show.
