Moving Up But Temporarily Out W ho could have imagined the plans being made back in the summer of '77 that would add excitement and confusion to the halls this year. It was decided then to begin the acre-and-ahalf building ad- dition this past fall once the plans were given final approval in 1980. With construction underway, the whole school began a slow transforma- tion. One of the first changes students had to contend with was the rerouting of student traffic from the back door to a side door. As if this was not enough of a bother, passing periods became a daily obstacle course for every PHS student. Dodging tractors, ladders, wheelbar- rows, and lost construction workers was a dreaded event in each student, teacher, and administrator's routine. Amid this mass of activity and strangers, one form in khaki slacks and shirt became increasing!) familiar. Amos, head of the A.E. Pitcher Co., gen- eral contractors, could often be seen sur- veying blueprints, or supervising work. As the new walls came into view, the inconvenience became less noticeable and excitement replaced annoyance in every- body's mind. The thoughts of a new gym to facilitate the growing sports pro- grams. extra class space to accommo- date the recent shift towards vocational training, and three additional lab rooms to handle the overflow of science stu- dents, roused curiosity in the hearts of every staff, faculty and student body member. As the year went on, bringing the school closer to the 1983 completion date, a sense of pride was instilled in ev- eryone. Despite new locker combina- tions, classroom changes, and, worst of all, the asphyxiating stench of paint in the hallways, the improvements to PHS were all well accepted. All in all, the year of detours, obstacles, and general confu- sion ended with the school's goals of modern change and overall improvement in plain sight. Dots this man look familiar? Many worker» sur- veyed blueprints in the halls. The hoys' locker room, normali) the home for smelly socks and lost gym trunks, became the home for construction workers as the floor was destroyed to make way for new plumbing. 6
