Excitement Both in and out of School PHS is not all studying and drudg- ery. It is also happy, lively fun. Lighter moments of school life include field trips, which are both en- tertaining and educational, hikes to as- semblies, and impromptu student gatherings between classes. After school hours we might be seen socializing at the Ranch, attending unbelievably crowded pitch-in dinners before ball- games, or staying awake until the wee hours at a slumber party discussing any- thing and everything. We may also, with a little luck, have dates. PHS'ers can be observed doing every- thing from compiling detailed research in the Public Library to executing various rough-and-tumble gymnastics or plummeting with wild abandon down snowy hills in the winter. We at PHS mix amusement and diversion with work to round out our schedules and our lives. Dinah Dees and Steve Hall enjoy jumping and executing different stunts on Steve's trampoline. 11 These girls, like many PHS'ers congregate at the Ranch to get a Coke or just see friends and talk.

Spare Minutes Are Packed with Fun and Cheerleaders Debbie Allen and Cathy Shuler keep the outside school bulletin board up to date. Stephanie Jacob, Jack Rutherford and Sandy Cook ingham enjoy some grapes from the Fruit-O-Matic To construct: a pyramid. Whether these seniors are their athletic prowess is doubtful, but the result was building a solid geometry project or demonstrating an inextricable heap of tangled seniors. 10

THE majority of PHS's home foot- ball and basketball games were followed by spirited, animated soc-hops. Sponsored by various school organizations, the soc-hops were well- attended by energetic, enthusiastic PHS'ers. Both the co-ordinated and agile and the rather unco-ordinated danced to records varying in pace from the slow to the very rapid tempo. British poet Lord Byron expressed the spirited atmosphere of this year's soc- hops very well when he wrote; On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; No sleep'til morn, When Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet. Dancers all doing different variations form circles on the gym floor. These girls are doing the Frugg. Lively Soc-Hops and Lovely Formal Dances After ball games, the gym is crowded with PHS'ers popular dances including everything from the Swim listening to the latest records and doing the most and the Monkey to the Dog and the Jerk. 12
