MR. WARREN H. HELD, Principal Principal's Message for the 1959 Milestone We have a proud history as a four-year school. Thousands of our graduates can be found in all parts of the world, in all types of professions and occupa- tions, contributing to the needs and to the advance- ment of the human race. We are proud of their achievements and proud of the fact that our alumni come from every kind of social, economic, racial and religious background. We are proud of you, more than 2000 of you, who have made up our student body this year. You have 10 already achieved in many areas. You have produced champions in academic areas as well as in athletics, music, drama, publications and other activities. P.H.S. will continue in its proud history. As a three- year senior high school, there can be still more oppor- tunity for achievement. With our long history of achievement, our excellent faculty, our strong school spirit and the facilities which our community provides for us, there is every prospect that we shall continue to break records, to produce champions, and to send good men and women out into the world.
