Friends like Jody Shackelford and Debbie Harvis found a few minutes during lunch break to relax or study in the library. 13 Bill Cunningham lends a friendly helping hand to Sisti Walker who dropped her books.

 Scenes Of Our Friendships There were more than 1500 possibilities of friendships at PHS. Our high school was the scene of many friendships. New friends and new faces were seen by freshmen, converging on PHS for their first time in 1967. New faces were always seen after a mid term schedule change, change of lunch period, or even more frequently when walking down a new hall between classes. Before school, during lunch, and sometimes during class, friends met to visit, or study. A new friend to many students was for- eign exchange student from Germany, Hel- mut Gabauer. Dances, football games, pep rallies, club meetings, and the various special days as western day and twirp week gave friends a chance to see the lighter side of school life and enjoy a bit of leisure. Needless to say, the friendships we made and our boy friends or girl friends at PHS will never be forgotten. Many friends were made in the cafeteria before school or at lunch. Walter Budd and Phil Mitchell engage in friendly arm wrestling match. 12 Between classes friends are seen walking to class or as in the case of Terry Chesser, Mary Tudor, and Karen Haynes, stopping at lockers.

 Sights Of Our City’s Progress Plainview and PHS have much in common. The year 'round, we as students, and our parents, visit and patronize the businesses of many fine, progressive Plainview merchants. Both PHS and Plainview and growing. PHS grew into a new vocational building in 1967, and saw construction of a new asphalt fast track at Bulldog Stadium, making the track one of the best in West Texas. In the meantime, Plainview saw construction of a new four lane highway loop, ex- pansion of the city library for added service to stu- dents and citizens, city paving improvements on more than two hundred city blocks, and were as- sured the construction of an ultra modern hospital complex following a successful fund drive. Plainview townspeople supported PHS through- out the year. Prior to September, the Band Parents carnival was a success thanks to the'townspeople of Plainview. At school sports events, parents and townspeople gave us support as loyal fans. Com- munity concerts in PHS's own auditorium, brought the musical arts within easy reach of students and townspeople alike. A vanishing sight in the Plainview area, the windmill pump, is symbolic of our city's reputation as the Irrigation capital of the World. Working for the future industrial, agricultural and business growth of our city are the 500 members of the Plainview Chamber of Commerce. 14
