We never know where anything is!!! ROBERT C. DAVIDSON B.M., Vandercook School of Music; Band Fine Arts In addition to basic and required courses, the Fine Arts Department offers electives in band, choral music, and art. The PHS band, the finest in the state, has won twenty-six consecu- tive sweepstakes in regional competition for excellence in concert, marching, and sight-reading. Representing the state of Texas at the Music Man Festival in Mason City, Iowa, they were given fourth place in the national competition. Presenting a major musical for the third consecutive year, the PHS Choir was applauded for their production of Brigadoon. Developing talents and appreciation in music and art is the primary aim of the Fine Arts Department. MRS. JOAN L. HAHN M.S., Kansas State U.; Art, Annual Sponsor This is the way we sing. ROSS E.

Do it just like me, girls! DAVID E. POWLEY B.S., North Texas State U.; Health Physical Education P.E. classes stress physical fitness with some emphasis on recreation- al activities, which will benefit the individual in later life. All students of PHS are required to have 1 V2 credits in physical education, if he is physically fit, or be enrolled in a course that is equivalent in order to graduate. Every student in PHS must take a physical fitness test three times a year. Activities in P.E. include football, badminton, trampoline, table ten- nis, shuffle-board, and special classes in tennis, golf, and track. PHS boys are entered in all areas of competitive sports, and girls compete in volleyball and baseball. Taught this year for the first time in PHS, Health was a requirement for Soph, and given to upperclassmen as an elective. The course pro- vides wide information on mental health, the physical body, the in- dividual as an individual, and psychological reasoning for under- standing people.
