Each year art students work hard for many months for their annual salute to a country. In 1967 the students of this school were given the opportunity to visit Israel at the Art Building. Bo Cameron, Donna Arnold, Danny Davis, and Floyd Noon are illustrating the native dress of that country. The world around which the whole school revolves is the academic world. Many able and skilled teachers using the latest teaching techniques help to instill in the students a knowledge of the world around them, coupled with a practical use of this knowledge. This fiftieth anniversary year marks an era of change at Petersburg High. New courses have helped 1 growing student body to become educated in or field they wish to pursue. Within the last few years all courses have been equipped with the most modern teaching facilities, enabling the faculty to add interest and diversity to the course of study. Some students will fly an airplane or work with com- plicated machinery for the first time in their lives this year, giving them valuable experience in a field in which they may seek a career. With change our school continues to grow and develop, preparing its students for the procedure in a modern world. 10
