“OUR NEW HOME OF LEARNING” To P. C. H. S., our Home of Learning, we owe the knowledge that we have thus attained during our Senior year. Old in spirit but new in structure, our home has afforded us pleasure and stimulated learning by surrounding us with all the beauty of effective architecture. To the Board of Education, through whose kind and gratuitous efforts the erection of this building has been made possible, we owe our sincerest gratitude. The building and equipment has been made complete in every detail by generous gifts of various townspeople and civic organizations. One of the most outstanding and appreciated of the gifts is the magnificent stage curtain, presented by the Paxton Woman's Club. The convenience of the over-head colored lights was made possible by the Athletic Association. On the second floor corridor is situated a large trophy case bequeathed by the class of '25. The case already contains numerous athletic and literary trophies, won by faithful students of P. C. H. S. Another gift which the students cherish is a framed copy of George Washington's Prayer at Valley Forge, presented by Dr. S. M. Wylie. Aside from the various statues and pictures transferred from the old building, there are some additional articles, bought by the Student Body this year. These include large, framed portraits of Lincoln and Washington, which adorn the front wall of the study hall, and a grand piano, purchased for use in the Auditorium. The Men's Chorus also donated a substantial amount towards the piano. The whole building is in itself an inspiration for work and pleasure to every student. Let us hope that each one may appreciate and make worthy the use of this Home of Education during his years of profit-seeking within its walls. Pane Seven
