But odded odvon- toges existed olso. Mony ossemblies presented helpful informotion ond donces permitted students to meet ond converse with people. The first few weeks of school were filled with informotion-pocked ossemblies. Freshmen were given pertinent informotion obout PPHS, its rules, ond regulotions. Sophomores ond juniors were olso brief- ed in the some oreos. Seniors begon o trodition by being the first senior closs to be officiolly rung in by the Liberty Bell given by lost yeor's senior closs.

Soon ofter, onxious ond disbelieving seniors ottend- ed two ossemblies which directly offected them o few months Ioter ot the groduo- tion ceremony. The meosur- ing of cops ond gowns wos done in the gym ond the ordering of groduotion on- nouncements took ploce in the ouditorium. The next event wos in celebrotion of Holloween.
