inging our way flwoug . . . The Pennsbury falcon flies on high! Finally, our symbol has reached maturity and is no longer nesting. True enough, it took three long years of numerous makeshift accommodations in churches, community halls, private homes, and ele- mentary buildings for it to feel its wings, but thanks to the citizens of the area, the Building Authority of the state of Pennsyl- vania, the untiring efforts of the School Board and our superintendent, Mr. Medill Bair, it is now soaring onward and upward. It is hard to realize, as we wander through a maze of shining hallways, over highly polished floors, and among satin- iinished blond furnishings set off by tinted venetian blinds and glass brick, that only since October I, 1951, has this luxurious setting been ours. We are grateful to all concerned in this undertaking for giving it to us. Buildings and equipment do not, of course, make a successful school. Inspira- tion, imagination, and industry must enter into the picture. As the years go on, may these qualities continue to characterize our system. May the Pennsbury falcon continue to Hy on high!

Parents and friends register at the first Open House held at P. H. S. janu- ary 18. P. H. S. lights up at night during a parent-teachers meeting. Hovering around us, but never doing our Hying for us, have been this year's faculty of approximately forty-five members and four practice teachers. Typical of teen-agers the country over, we at times resented their advice, the work deadlines they set up, the projects they requested, the discipline they accorded. We were particularly resentful of their means of punishment the afternoons tollowing Skip Day CFebruary 25D when about forty of us seniors were detained until 5:00 p. m. after school and deprived of participation in all activities. But compare them to any other faculty-and they are second to none. They especially en- deared themselves to us the night of the Faculty- Varsity Basketball Came despite, darn it, the fact they won. They endeared themselves to us as sponsors of dances, clubs, and plays. They en- deared themselves to us on the Vlfashington trip. Yes, we must admit we have caused them to lose many feathers, but, bless their hearts, their confi- dence in our gaining our wings never wavered. 4 . 13? if X' Student Council President Kay Balser and School Board President Forrest Iobes smooth the mortar at the Cornerstone Laying Cere- monies, January 9, 1952.
