VISAGES OF PHS REVEAL EMOTIONS Another exciting year in the history of PHS was captured via the expressions of the people who made this year what it was. From the advent to the end, this year was filled with bewilderment, hap- piness, excitement, exhaustion, and self- satisfaction. One could find a perplexed eighth grader wandering absently about the PHS halls at the school year’s begin- ning. Ecstatic expressions marked the Junior Ring Dance as the proud juniors slipped their rings on. Downcast and doubtful expressions were displayed by seniors upon receiving their college board scores; however, these expressions were quickly followed by ones of enthusiasm as seniors were accepted at the college of their choice. Long hours of work were the means by which both students in extra-curricular activities and teachers in their daily jobs achieved success. It is these expressions of exhaustion and of later success that end the year. 6

“THE THRILL OF VICTORY, THE AGONY OF DEFEAT” Faces displaying failure and success are seen in all aspects of school life. Well- known by each student, failure and suc- cess are the means by which one becomes mature. Through the calm acceptance of one’s defeat and the objective acceptance of one’s success, a person matures into a well-rounded adult. 8
