CLASSES: Key to Individuality Many individual personalities make up the student body at Park View High School. Just as each student is different in person- ality, so each is different in physical appearance. But each student is important to the success of the school. The Student Body is made up of five classes, Seniors, Juniors, 10th graders, 9th graders and 8th graders. The long days of hard work and study are made easier by the presence of friends --studying for tests, struggling to get to class on time with the right book, enjoying good meals, and conversations between classes --each proud to be a part of a good school. 13
