We Wcrfch Football, Dote, ond Donee From fall to Christmas we found many op- portunities to forget the problems of academic life. During the early months of school, most of our Friday nights were spent at Bengal Sta- dium, watching the Tiger football team enjoy one of their best seasons as they won the Con- ference championship. Although some students found football un- interesting, nearly all were fascinated by the half-time shows put on by the Band. Neither cold winds nor frosty autumn air chilled the enthusiasm of the performing Tigerettes and Majorettes. After the football season, dances helped us forget the monotony of the daily grind. Those who attended the annual Christmas Dance sponsored by the Girls ' League remember the surprise visit from Santa and the College Club- men from Purdue. Strutting and fretting their hours upon the stage are the PHS Tigerettes. Their stage during the fall was the football field where they alternated shows with the Majorettes during half-time at home games. There couldn ' t be enough room for him to go up, exclaims Rpnny Burkhart to his date, Jackie Devine left, during the intermission of the Christmas Dance. Assuring Ronnie that Santa always manages to get up the chimney are Pat Clark and Janie Struble.

Homecoming Beauties Resemble Royalty Preceded by a bonfire that had a record attendance, Homecoming night thrilled the PHS student body. After President John Wolf crowned and kissed Queen Linda Bishop dur- ing the half of the Peru-Kokomo football game, a parade of floats was presented by members of various clubs. The giant imitation football player of the Industrial Club won first place, while the P Club and FHA won second and third respectively. Even though the Tigers were beaten by the Wildcats, students managed to cheer up for the after-game celebration dance. A dream came true lor Linda Bishop when she was driven around the football field in a convertible and then crowned the I960 Homecoming queen. Sparkling like true princess- es are the attendants of the Homecoming court: Senior At- tendant Kay Burgher. Junior Attendant Sally Wiltshire, Freshman Attendant Donna Crawford, and Sophomore At- tendant Gerrie-Anne Daly. 15
