We’re Putting Back in Phoeb We Are Not Just a School W hat is a school? A school is just a building—until you bring in the people. People give a school its character—its uniqueness. However you have to get the people involved in the school for them to contribute to its character. One of the ways that Phoebus goes about trying to ac¬ complish this is by having a “Back to School Night”. On this night various classes and clubs make displays to show their activities and accomplishments. This is done with the hope of showing new students what is available and also to show the parents what their kids do. By getting the parents involved we bring more people into Phoebus. It’s just another of the many ways in which we’re putting US and the community back in Phoebus. —Suzanne Willis— Chris Malloy, a member of the Marine Corps Ju¬ nior ROTC shows parents to their child’s classes during the Back to School Night held September 27. Back to School Night was an effort by the administration to get more parents involved in school activities. It proved successful because 50% of the parents came. The Color Guard kicks off the Stand Up for America parade held May 2, 1983. They are fol¬ lowed by teachers, majorettes, the flag corps, the band and the remainder of the student body.
