Formal groundbreaking ceremonies for Peoria-Heights High School were in ,luly 1970. This was the beginning of a dream the people in this community had. P.l'l.H.S. is based on the open plan concept, which is a series of large, open spaces with few permanent walls. Each open space has a physical arrangement which provides for flexible teaching program and more profitable experi- ences for students. The building itself is 71,440 sq. feet on a site of 19 acres. The total con- struction cost of the school, was Sl,684,55l.36 or 32,347 per student. The many contractors who helped to fulfill this dream were C. lber and Sons Co., Zaborac Electric, Peoria ln- dustrial Piping Co., Paddock School Equipment Co., Sutton Carpet Co., J. A. Eritch and Sons, and Shaver and Co. Worker welds the main framework of the high school during the early part of construction.

The varsity cheerleaders participated in a cheerleading camp at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin during the summer. Both squads attended a cheerleading clinic in November. Patriots ain aluable Experience 1 This years season started out pretty rough, losing to Monmouth 65-0. Yet through the season the harshness of the scores were slackened as the Patriots' defense improved. Many freshmen and sophomores played on the varsity team this year gaining experience. The future year may prove to be better with most of the first two strings returning next year. Two outstanding seniors for their con- tributions to the team were Doug Behrends and Steve Madison. Steve Madison was the leading pass receiver with 11 catches for 274 yards. Doug Behrends led in rushing with 430 yards and 106 carries.
