n (, i Early in the year, a frustrated Corsair staff was slumped around the work tables trying to drum up a theme for the Corsair ' 73. Tentively, they had been kicking around the theme People , but they decided it couldn ' t be ca rried through the entire book. What about ' People, people who need people ' ? inquired our idealistic Staffer, Yvonne. Nah, that stinks criticized our experienced editor, Nan. An hour later, the bedraggled staff still had no drummed up theme. The closeness of the room and the aroma from the crab factory had inflicted shortness of temper on all. It ' s so hard to do a theme when no one cares. Especially here at Pembroke — we ' re such do nothings . I wish we could do a book on doing nothing , man, we could do a good book. hissed one of the senior girls, Susan. Yeah, who cares anymore? chimed in another member, Bob. All the while, one of the sponsors. Mr. Paul had been sitting at an opposite table with his head in his folded arms. Who cares? A lot of people here care. What about all the people who join clubs and become their officers. What about the kids who run for class offices, and try out for plays, who work their hearts out to raise money for their class projects. What about the students who work to keep up their grades? What about athletes? What about you? You cared enough to join annual staff. To put out a book with no credit. Didn ' t you? What about me and other teachers, don ' t you 1 hink with our education, we could be doing something else and making more money? Why do people like Mr. Paul and I, sponsor? inquired Mr. Carmines who was adding his bit into the con¬ versation. People don ' t care! Sure a lot don ' t, but there are a lot who do also. Get out and ask ' em. Suddenly the room was abuzz with discussion Yeah, I don ' t care about school, but I care for my friends commented Anthony, our sports section worker. Somebody must care, or things wouldn ' t get done, smiled Anna. After all the hours of frustration, they had a theme. It had come to them naturally. Let ' s get out and ask people and see. urged Kathy. And be honest and show both kinds, echoed Teresa Harsch. Thus, the Corsair ' 73 arrived at their theme, Just Ask Me If I Care . With pens and pads and cameras, they have gone into the rooms, halls and offices to see if Pembroke ' s students and faculty care. And they ' ve recorded it as they saw it — some people do not but the majority do care for something at PHS; be it their friends, their studies, the sports, their clubs etc. t TABLE OF CONTENTS FACULTY 8 CLASSES 44 STUDENT LIFE 86 SPORTS 120 CLUBS 148 ADS 182
