The Reflector is one of the oldest traditions of P. C. H. S. The older alumni will remember when the Reflector appeared as a monthly pamphlet, and, still later, as a semi-annual journal. The present form has been the accepted pattern since 1926. Regardless of the type of publication, the purpose remains the same—to record your happy memories for future reference. When you’ve reached the grand old age of thirty, think what fun you’ll have, glancing through the Reflectors of your school days! And so, we, the Reflector Staff of 1942, do hereby present to you, our successors, our humble efforts toward making your memories permanent. We sincerely hope they will mean as much to you as they do to us, the graduating class.
