FOREWORD Petersburg’ High School has been the silent specta- tor of the many scenes that occur in her halls. She has watched unsuspecting actors and actresses make their entrances, play their parts, and then exit. Her halls hold many fond memories of the year 1963-64. In this annual, an attempt has been made to capture and present the untold tales of our year. The size of the high school has increased from 1000 to 1300 because of the addition of the eighth grade. There have been many problems involved with this increase, but all of the students have ad- justed quickly. Provisions for this class have been made in all student activities. The vocational training program, innovated this year, has been of great benefit to the community as well as the school. The purpose of this center is to train students as skilled technicians to be employed in industrial plants in the Tri-City Area. Extra-|!urricular activities play a large role at Petersburg High. Through these, students get to know each other better while they pursue their own particular fields of interest. Two new clubs have been added this year. The National Honor Society held a tapping in the spring, and has already started several service projects. In addition, the Spanish Club was organized for students taking that language. As the class of ’64 makes its exit from the scene, each member realizes the significant contribution of Petersburg High School in his life. Nothing can era- dicate the impressions of these of these formative years. Editor-in-Chief . . Associate Editor Business Manager Roy Stillerman 5

ON THE STAGE OF P.H.S “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and their entrances. And each man in his time plays many parts.” The comparison of Petersburg High School to a stage is clear cut in many ways, more subtle in others. Yet the analogy is apparent. Each student, teacher and staff mem- ber has a role to play, and he must perform well to insure the success of the production. From his entrance to his exit, an individual plays many parts, each of which contributes to making him a more well-rounded person. Through his ef- forts, the school becomes as much a part of him as he is a part of the school. If the parts we have assumed have been well played, the credit goes to those who never let us down. From the eighth grader to the senior, every student tries to the utmost to be a benefit to his co-workers. Backstage, teachers and students alike work before the curtain rises, putting in long hours to make the performance run smoothly. When the curtain does rise on the stage of Petersburg High School, one knows that these efforts are being rewarded. The class- es, the Student Council, individual club activities, and athletics all contribute to the entire picture of- our school. As the curtain falls on this stage, seniors look back with a feeling of nostalgia. But their spirits rise in anticipation as they look forward to a larger stage, one for which their high school career has them well prepared. Once again the curtain rises.
