Will The Real (?) Please Stand Up? Questions concerning true identities were heard echoing throughout the halls as students attempted to identify the mysterious, often comical characters roaming around when dress-up days took place at school. While some students got into the spir- it of things by dressing up before every pep rally, others waited until Halloween to let their true natures come out in the form of a costume. Outfits for these oc- casions ranged from army fatigues to Hawaiian wear, and from western wear to warm-up suits. Dress-up days brought out the best (and worst) in all of us. The outgoing, crazy types just seemed that much cra- zier; the shy, not-so-wild types had the chance to express themselves at last through a certain costume or style; even the spectators got a good laugh out of seeing the imaginative and creative cos- tumes. A few of the more memorable cos- tumes included Snow White and the Sev- en Dwarves, Leah Blain as a nun, Philip Knobloch as an escapee from Bellvue mental hospital, and French teacher Jill Markert as Hester Prynne from the nov- el The Scarlett Letter. In general, the students responded to the special days with much enthusiasm, and looked upon them as the chance to add a little fun to an otherwise ordinary school day. by Anna Chlapek A few of the many personalities at PHS are reflected in the outfits shown. 1. Junior Glen Shiller uses a dress-up day as an opportunity to see how the other half lives. 2. Somehow senior Bob Shirley manages a smile, despite the bleak circum- stances. 3. Scott Towers, junior, wanders through the halls in search of his mummy as he clutches his teddy bear for security.

Contest?!? during football season. One was the Pig Kissing Contest sponsored by the sophomores. Students voted for one fac- ulty member, Ms. Montgomery, Mr. O'Leary, Coach Tighe, Mr. Bradley, or Mrs. Swope, to kiss a real live pig!! Since Coach Tighe and Mr. O'Leary tied in the contest, they both got to kiss the pig. Thanks for being such great sports, guys. Another great event of football season was being chosen Team of the Week by Channel 24 News. The Panthers were privileged to have Hugh Lewis present the team with a trophy and to have the news channel tape the pep rally for tele- vision. With all the students help, the pep rallies were a big success, by Kimberly McDonald
