Pizza parties are loved by PHS students, freshmen as well as seniors. Kay Burgher, Andrea Schmidt, Jeannie Simon, Susan Volpert, Linda Crawford, and Sondra Crawford celebrate a football victory with pizza, cokes, and dancing. First editions form opinions, seems to be the thought of John Wolf as he critically scans this year ' s first Peruvian and realizes that, as chief editor, he has a lot of work in store for him. ■ Beatnik style nursery rhymes sound strange to children, but girls attending the Girls ' League Kid Party enjoyed the variations presented by representatives and cabinet members. Freezing at football games, buying tickets for the Kid Party, getting up enough nerve to ask that someone special to go to one of the dances, and urging the basketball team on to victory are just a few of the many extra-cur- ricular activities occupying students ' spare time. Often after football or basketball games, a group of girls gather at one home for a slum- ber party. No one gets much rest, but every- one eats to her heart ' s content and learns all the latest school gossip. Although not in many activities, freshmen never have the chance to become bored. Most of their time is spent learning the do ' s and don ' t ' s of high school life. Sophomores show that they are really a part of PHS as they per- haps join another club, participate in the Ro- deo, or take a hand in publishing the school paper which is provided for the entire student body. Membership in the National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Science Club, or other select- ed activities is often desired by juniors and seniors. Many also look forward to the day when they can display their acting abilities in class plays. 10

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.

We Find Many Things To Do . . . See no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. This is a classic pose not only for monkeys but also for presi- dential candidates. Under some of their posters are During the year we found many things to do, from filling out enrollment cards at the first of the year to parading through the halls cam- paigning for our candidates for Student Body President. This year four students campaigned for the highest office in the school. John Wolf won the honor and repre sented the school in many ways; he was chairman of the Student Council, introduced the auditorium performers, and, most enjoyable, kissed the Homecoming and Rodeo Queens. At the beginning of each semester students had to take time out to complete many forms and blanks to help school officials.
