Peru High School - Narcissus Yearbook (Peru, IN)

Our Year Starts Like This . . . Although quiet prevailed through PHS on September 6, 1960, the school burst with activ- ity the next day, as students and teachers bus- tled through the halls, preparing for another big opening day. Having spent a summer of leisure, most stu- dents entered the school reluctantly, thinking of the work ahead of them. Freshmen doubt- fully looked for the rooms to which they had been assigned, while other students easily found their way to last year ' s homerooms. Each was certain of one thing — he would meet at least a few new acquaintances during the year. Because of the increased enrollment, two teachers were added to the faculty, and four were hired as replacements. Additional chang- es will be made next fall when several teach- ers transfer to the new Jr. High School. And this must be my office. says Mrs. Mary Keith, the yearbook adviser, as she and other new teachers, Mr. Clifford Snyder, Mr. Ronald Bodine, Mr. Jerry For- rest, Mr. Donald Queener, and Mr. Florin Williams, tour the buildings.

All is quiet in the library during the first weeks ol school: no seniors working on research papers, no freshmen learning how to use the card catalog. But wait until the year gets started! Then the PHS library becomes the bus- iest room in the school. Students at PHS take their lives in their own hands when the bell for passing period is rung. As freshmen and new students enter PHS, they are awe-struck by the congestion in the halls. If a book is drop- ped during the mad rush, it might as well be considered a loss. Turning around is all but impossible.
