Dedication • • • In every high school there is one who must provide the leadership in establish- ing an appropriate environment for learn- ing. The best teachers and students in the world could teach and learn little if there were not someone to organize the stand- ards of behavior which are conducive to learning and in which the students and faculty can take pride. This year we are proud to dedicate our annual to the person who is largely re- sponsible for the congenial atmosphere at Plainview High. He came to the Plain- view school system from Oklahoma, 5 years ago. He has his bachelors degree from Southwestern State in Oklahoma and his masters degree from the Univer- sity of Oklahoma. He is a member of the College Heights Baptist Church and be- longs to the Lyons Club. We respect and love you for helping make our school what it is—a good place to be. We are happy to dedicate this annual to you, Mr. Lamont Veatch. 6

OUR CAMPUS A time space of eleven years has passed since Plainview High School was dedicated in March of 1952. Our School covers an area two blocks wide and three blocks long in- cluding ten acres of grassed area used by the physical education classes for work-outs and by the PHS band for marching practice. The campus includes two buildings joined by a breezeway. The main building includes the classrooms, library, and study hall in two wings, with the Choir hall and Band hall and Auditorium located in another wing. The auditorium, which seats about 1400 people, is one of the finest in the area. There are four tennis courts in the northwest corner of the campus with a parking lot adjacent to them. The other building includes Bulldog Gym and the numerous vocational rooms. Our school was built at a cost exceeding a million dollars and stands proud and important in a thriving community. Through these doors walks our future. Music domain at P.H.S. Great brains get extra exercise here. Gym of the battling Bulldogs. 5
