FACULTY P«ge 10 A touch of sophistication, wisdom through experience, an air of dignity—the distinguishing characteristics of our faculty members. Patience and understanding, as well as a real interest in the progress of the school, bring about a closer relationship between teachers and the students. STUDENTS.................................Page 16 The atmosphere of the classroom, modes of youthful fashion, the first glimpses of romance—these are the trademarks of a happy-go-lucky youth. Though the part that education plays in the future must not be forgotten, it is these diversions of school life that have made the high school an outstanding American institution. CONTENTS CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Page 38 The smartness of a band uniform, the formality of a choir robe, the casual air of a Hi-Y jacket—these are symbolic of the many extra-curricular activities offered students. Besides giving opportunities for service to the school, these activities also develop well-rounded personalities, and seek to raise the prestige of the school through interscholastic competition. SPORTS................................ Page 56 The thrill of victory, the pride of a letter sweater, the letdown with defeat—these are the varied emotions experienced by the boys in scarlet and grey. Win or lose, the spirit of Patrick Henry remains intact throughout any competitive sport. FEATURES...................................Page 70 Social activities, entertainment, and fun for everyone— these feature the hi-lites of a happy senior year. From the regular procedure of Hi-Haven dances and student auditoriums to the excitement of homecoming and the senior prom, various events and activities add zest and color to the routine of school life. 8
