Work, work, and more work was what put out the Spirit of '72. Hopefully all turned out for the best as Editor-in-chief, Peggy McCombs, and Mrs. Sluder, the advisor, led the staff in producing the yearbook. Deadlines arrived in the early spring, generally around play rehearsal time, which kept Mrs. Sluder hopping. The pages were in the process of being drawn up and sent to the publishing company. Staff members worked Saturdays to try to capture the memories of the Spirit of '72 at Peoria-Heights High School.
