Learning not just books, prepares students for life Plainfield High School is many things, all of which involve learning experiences. It is encountering new problems, responsibilities, activities, and friends. Most students feel that P.H.S. is a good environment in which to learn. There are the ever present complaints from stu- dents about too much home- work and tests being too hard, but these are to be expected. Whether it be acting in a play or running at an athletic prac- tice, P.H.S. offers more than book learning. Most students find that high school is both challenging and fun. The majority of the students feel that high school should prepare them for future life, whether it be immediate employment or college. Solid training for work or more edu- cation, friends, and experience were some of the things stu- dents wished to get from high school. High school has become a decision making point on the way to adult life. Here students must choose between work or higher education. This decision is one which their future rests upon. upper left There is more than one way to study bone structure as demon- strated by Dan Rush. center The media center is used for many purposes.
