Activity was a key word among PHS students. Although the year did not begin spectacularly, things did happen. Gradually people came alive, getting involved and caring. People took part in assemblies, dances, and sock-hops. Drama productions were well received. Talent Night was rowdy, as usual, announcement of Home- coming Queen and Owl Sweethearts was appro- priately formal. Students attended sports events and displayed spirit openly. People enjoyed being together, going places, and participating. This was the spirit of the Great Move. Every event seemed to take on a new flavor, activities possessed a special feel- ing. Students got caught up in the rush of the move and began to participate in school activities. Events 0 9

Talent Night Highlights Month. ood old-fashioned fun struck the old PHS audito- rium as Talent Night proved a suc- cess. NHS won first place again as flowers told of the wonderful things in the world today by singing I Love. Tri-Hi-Y, second place win- ner, turned out A Western Saga based on The Perils of Pauline. The story centered around the kid- napping of Li'l Nell by the bad guy and her rescue by her good-guy sweetheart. The Mirror per- formed by third-place winner FCA showed what happens when one tangles with the dimensions of a mirror. The students came through a full-length mirror and were fasci- nated by their reflections. But their reflections tricked them into trading places and the students were trap- ped into oblivion as the reflections were freed into reality. A MORE reserved activity was the All-Sports Banquet with Lee Roy Jordan as the guest speaker. His speech, entertaining over 500 guests, discussed attitudes, win- ning, and setting goals. Principal Dee Cunningham received the last game ball of the old high school. Barney Johnson and Andy M'cQuitty were presented the Fighting Heart award in football, and Mike Tayloriwas named the basketball team's Most Valuable Player. Jill Semple and Leslie Spruell were named Football and Basketball Queen respectively. WHILE iournalism students trav- eled to New York, other organiza- tions were beginning preparations for the end of school. The band sold candy and soap to achieve their trip to the band festival at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. lO 0 March Events
