Graduation 1967—An End and a Beginning; Joy and Sorrow for the Seniors and Parents. Graduation time is one of joy for the Seniors, as they complete high school and get their chance to prove their ability to get along for themselves. Graduation is also a time of sorrow, when the Seniors must break away from the security of high school, and when they become separated from the friends with whom they have gone to school all their lives. Graduation represents the end of twelve years of physical and mental growth, in which the Seniors have become mature young adults. They have learned not only the fundamentals of a variety of subjects, but through various projects, organizations, and classes have also learned how to get along with and work with others, an essential quality for successin life. The Seniors are indeed a group of which PHS can be proud. 10

THEME ,gOY{v 'Growth is the theme of the 1968 Bruin'. Growth of many kinds is evidenced in the various phases of school life. The students crow mentallv and phvs-icallv, from the first grade through the time they graduate from high school. They grow not onlv through their classwork, but also through activities, athletics, organizations, and other participation with their fellow students. '•. hen the students show an interest in and take part in these groups, the groups grow in turn. Individuals and organizations are helped to grow through their use of the school's new buildings, facilities, and eouipment. and its plans for the future. School life brings about a growth of understanding between fellow students and between students and facultv. The school as a whole grows through the support of its students and their organizations. If the school did not have the pride and respect of its students, it wouldn't be effective as a school. We are nroud of our school and activities, And through it all, we grow and become better able to face the problems and challenges our changing world.
