At First, Things Seemed Very Quiet Uncle Henry, little Dorothy, and even the straw- stuffed scarecrow came to visit the Wizard of Oz at the Girls ' League Kid Party. Sula Salmons, Penny Wilt- shire, and Kathy Geberin stop on their way to the Emerald City to have some refreshments. When school opened in September, 1961, many phases of life at PHS were different for faculty and students alike. With no new first- year students, many first-day problems did not arise. Faculty members were not bothered with balky lockers, lost rooms, or other typi- cal freshman predicaments. Upperclassmen did not have the task of acting as big brothers to freshmen. Several seniors were disgruntled to find that they were placed in the underclass locker section rather than in the coveted senior corridors. Halls were quieter — but dance re- ceipts were less! Nevertheless, without freshmen, the year got off to a good start with such fall events as Homecoming, Student Body Election, Rodeo, and the Kid Party. Although the Kid Party for- merly was a party for freshmen, the rest of the girls enjoyed it just as much without the ba- bies. Although this has been a year of inno- vations and new experiences, the activities and traditions of good old PHS have remained the same. Money, money, everywhere, and all for charity!

Making a last-minute pitch for votes, the three can- didates for Student Body President — Logan Wernz, Ron Doucette, and Rich Dobler — hopefully ask for sup- port. These boys campaigned vigorously during the week before election, but only one, Rich Dobler, was to attain the honor of leading the PHS Student Body. Roll up your sleeve, is the command to students as they stream into study hall from home rooms on Patch Test day. This service of the Miami County TB Association is an annual event in the lives of PHS students which insures that no active case of tubercu- losis shall go undetected.
