A friend is a present you give yourself. Robert Louis Stevenson un-nroonalnnnuia uno4 f N Waves In Pendleton? A highly trusted source told this reporter that he witnessed an amazing event: Surfing in Pendle- ton. Though he admitted he knew of no waves in the area, he said he was sure he had not been hallucinat- ing. I was cold sober, our source said, forI had just completed a chemistry test. As yet, no one has come forward to give evi- dence to support the source's statement, but a few have hinted that they have seen the same thing kin their Algebra ll classesj IZXWQB '...Lj Seniors Grder Graduation Goodies On October 13, 1976, the Seniors were glad to have their daily routine of classes interrupted by the ordering of gowns. In ad- dition to gowns, they or- dered announcements, thank -you's, invitations, and calling cards while looking forward to the day they could utilize them. While the Seniors sat thinking of graduation day, the bell rang and jolted all of them back to reality. Never try to make anyone like yourself -you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough, -Ralph Waldo Emerson College Day On October 22, 1976, representatives from col- leges around the State came to talk to the Seniors and to give out brochures. This was an excellent op- portunity for the Seniors to look into the college of their choice.

'77 Busy Year Landmark Sales The 76-77 yearbook staff sold yearbooks at lunch for three weeks. Every day two people would sit outside, taking money and giving receipts. At times things were slack and staffers could have a good time with a friendg however, other times things were so busy not a word could be said, other than asking for names and homeroom numbers. The staffers' efforts paid off for many entertaining Landmarks were sold to PHS students, who sadly watched their ten dollars disappear. Flowers For Teachers The teacher's at PHS will now be receiving a rose for their birthday presented by the Student Cotmcil. When Coach Fin- ley, one of the first re- cipients, was given his rose at a pep rally,' he turned a deep red. In loving, you lean on someone to hold them up.

Will Rogers Ghost Appears In Room 24 Early this year, a group of seniors organized a seance to bring back the ghost of Henry V, in order to learn more about his reign. As the students sat in a circle around a lit can- dle, a mysterious ghostly figure appeared, with a crown on his head, and spoke of historical events in Medieval England. The figure soon disappeared, however, leaving a flaber- gasted class, the members of which swore that the ghostly king had curly, blond hair on his head and legs.

Students Are Busybees At PH Exams Spoil Christmas lt rang throughout the halls, Christmas, Christ- mas -time is here. No more school until next year! The excitement had been building for weeks. The parties, assemblies, special decorations, all added to that special feel- ing of the Yuletide. Sud- denly it was three o'clock. The bell rang and six hun- dred students tumbled out laughing and screaming. lt was Christmas vacation time. Even the most stu- dious kids were heard humming a tune. Thoughts were nonexistent. This scene is not un- common. The same six hundred kids come back a little more quietly almost three weeks later. Thoughts now are of why the Christmas fun must be erased by thoughts of exams. Few have seen a textbook since the day be- fore vacation and yet exams begin soon after the new year does. What a way to start the new year!

Spirit chains sponsored by the Senior class were linked during lunches with the Freshmen edging the Seniors by ten links. The cheerleaders painted Bull- dog paws on students' bod- ies and also gave a bonfire to boost extra spirit. All day spirits were high and many memories were formed of Fifties' Day, 1976. The game, how- ever, ended disappointing- ly with the dogs losing 35 to 14 to the Woodruff Wol- verines. J
