Record breaking athletes, meritorious academic scholars, successful business leaders, trained vocational specialists, and scientific geniuses are onlv a few of the outstanding citizens which are produced at Petersburg High School. Not only are our students the cream of the crop, but our teachers and administrators are also prime choices. The people at PHS depict Neptune in a special way.

I KING OF THE WAVE Among those who find consolence in the Elysian Fields, there is a king. His name is King Neptune and he patrols the sea. Water is his kingdom and the waves are his territory. He calms the tide in time of peace and brings violence to them in time of turmoil and trouble. King Neptune is also an idea. An idea which expresses control, power, and possession. We the students of PHS are very much like King Neptune, and thus it was not hard for the 1979 Missile Staff to come up with the theme, WAVE ADVENTURE. Each of us is a king. We have control, power, and our own special possession. All of us are unknow- ingly taking a new adventure of our own, looking on that special shore on which lies our success. PHS is our wave. A wave of which we must grasp all the knowledge that we can. . wave which we must together climb over to get to the mighty sea. The sea is life, and PHS can help prepare us for bfe if we use the resources it provides wisely. Life is also our adventure, but it is not al ways a simple on8? There are many obstacles along the way and in this day and time we are confronted with more difficiJ- ties than ever. Therefore, let us use our wave as a device. A guidance device of which we can broaden our minds to the many talents we possess as individuals. If we all take advantage of the many fine resources provided for us at High School, we can do nothing but prosper and grow. Thus, it ill be much easier for us to find our Elvsian Fields, and to be our own King Neptune. - S
