 A Panorama Of Our Studies The biggest part of the 1966-67 school year was spent in the classrooms. Our View of a PHS Year would not be complete with- out looking back at a few scenes of those moments we devoted to studying. The day to day routine was the same for everyone. It included six periods, advisory, and one of three lunch periods. Pictures bring back memories. We will always re- member those speed tests in typing, creative moments in art, trying driver education ses- sions, critical measurements in science lab, and endless reading in English. Varied areas of study served to give us a well rounded education. Our four years at PHS saw us ’preparing for college, as we completed those courses required for college entrance. Some of us learned a trade in the new half day in- dustrial courses. Others attended classes half the day, and were employed for the rest of the day in Plainview businesses. Credits to- ward graduation were gained in various ways. Sue Perrin, a senior, challenged by typing exercise -in Typing II. 6 Junior AAike Shea caught during a creative moment in Art I.

Foreword Many years from now, when we find this book, stowed away in a dusty trunk, or placed neatly away on a bookshelf, its pages will remind us of the activities and events that made school year 1966-1967 unique. We have recorded these moments 'through the viewfinder of a camera; our photo staff strived to photograph the school year from every possible angle. The theme for 1967 is borrowed from the name of our yearbook, and the name of our city. Plainview is the name given to our com- munity in the 1880's by its founders, Z. T. Maxwell and E. L. Lowe. As can be seen in the striking sunset scene on the endsheet of this book, one can stand on these flat High Plains of Texas and view the land for miles and miles. The combined words plain and view were thus appropriate for the name of our city. In 1914, with publication of the first Plainview High School yearbook, the words plain and view were borrowed, for its name Plain View. We have emphasized the word View to create this years theme. In the next several pages, you will be in- troduced to five synonyms for View which divide the book into its five sections. The words are panorama, glimpse, vista, scene and sight. It is our hope that as you thumb through the sections, read the copy and look at the pictures, the 1967 Plain View gives you a pleasing new approach to PHS and a complete history of the year as we present View of a PHS Year. 5
