This was the year of the mini-skirt, sassoon haircuts, Viet Nam, and paisley shirts. The year of the Mod, Gemini flights, hip-huggers--the year that we, the Seniors of 1967, will remember as the turning point in our lives. After graduation comes the second phase of our lives--college, the draft, jobs, marriage. But before we go on, let us stop for a moment and look back on the sights and sounds of our high school years— We entered PRHS in the fall of 1963 as eager Freshman, proud but perhaps a little frightened at the thought of being in high school. But we chose able leaders to help us over the rough spots: President: Jean Evenson; Vice President: Glen Nelson; Secretary, Carolina Shader; Treasurer, Gayle Tweeton; and Student Council Repre- sentative, Bruce Femling. We returned the following year as more confident Sophomores, led by: Willis Anderson, President; Dale Velo, Vice President; Gary Lage, Secretary; Jerry Jacobson, Treasurer; and Barbara Hohman, Student Council Representative. As soph- omores we were proud to be represented in the Homecoming activities. We chose Norma Flem and Barb Hohman as our attendants, escorted by Willis Anderson and David Nedrud. As the year came to a close, we decorated for the graduation cere- monies of the class of '65. Our Junior year began busily and continued to be so throughout the entire year. Leaders chosen this bustling year included: President, Norma Flem; Vice President, Paul Tabbut; Secretary, Mary Nelson; Treasurer, John Waller; and Student Council Representative, Charles Pfeifle. Our activities were many and varied. We sold magazines for the annual Magazine Drive. Representing us at the Queen's Court during Homecoming festivites were Barb Hohman, escorted by Avery Seifert, and Norma Flem, escorted by Willis Anderson. In March we presented A Howling Success as our Junior Class Play, directed by Mr. Melbye. As juniors we also prepared for the Junior-Senior Prom, decorating the gym around the theme Roman Holiday. We returned in the fall of 1966 as mighty Seniors. Elected to help us through our final year: Shirley Ripley, President; Bruce Femling, Vice President; Marilyn Strom- berg. Secretary; Carolina Shader, Treasurer; and Harold Sherbrooke, Student Coun- cil Representative. As Homecoming neared, we all wondered who our queen would be. Shirley Ripley was accorded this honor, attended by Norma Flem and Carolina Shader. Escorts were Denny Johnson, Dale Velo, Willis Anderson, and Avery Seifert. In November we presented our Senior Class Play, The Imaginary Invalid, directed by Mr. Wombacher. Helping us through all these activities were our hard-working adivsors: Mrs. Bogen, Mrs. Stadum, Mr. Matheson, and Mr. Seigle, whom we thank for their time and effort. We will always be grateful, too, to the administration and faculty, for their patience, understanding and guidance. These are just a few of our many happy memories of PRHS. Each of us has his own experiences to remember, too--going to games, working on floats, drooling over the guy in the next desk, that certain dance, just goofing off, special friends--we will never forget our fond memories at PRHS.
