Contents Foreword Yesterday our grandfathers proudly drove their Model-T-Fords down the main street of town, just as today we zoom our sleek new ’69 models around the Arrowhead. Times have changed, but our thoughts — yours and mine — are still mirrored on our faces. We can easily recall the looks, the ex- pressions, which reflected the events of our days — registration, coronation, foot- ball games, club activities, exams, prom, graduation . . . Time rolls by . . . turning these ex- pressions into precious memories which we will always treasure. It is my hope that you find these and many other Signs of the Times” recorded in the 1969 PLAIN VIEW. Q rvnco 3

Foreword Our lives are three dimensional — the past, the present, and future. As we go through each dimension, we gain a depth of knowledge, a breath of experience, and a length of aspiration. With knowl- edge, experience, and aspiration gained during our high school years, we are pre- pared to search for our new dimension: the future. The present dimension is one which now becomes the past ... A year filled with hopes and dreams . . . games won and lost, honors strived for and won . . . All based on that study which disciplines minds to work faithfully to reach new levels of achievement. Our new dimension — the future — is filled with hope . . . The hope that all those who attend PHS will learn those things here that will make the world a better place for generations yet unborn. Table of Introduction...... Curriculum.......

We Salute Building a band is not easy — it takes endurance, courage when there seems to be no hope, and faith. A good band needs excellent leadership — which has been, for the last five years, Mr. 0. T. Ryan. 0. T.” — as he is called by his students — has been seen not only in a director’s role but also on the sidelines during football games, pacing the floor be- fore a band contest, or grinning at the students with which he spends so much of his time. He provided the action” during constant hours of rehearsal and, while waiting for the reaction,” hoped for a successful result. Always he has believed in us — his students. For his meritorious work with the PHS bands, we dedicate the 1969 PLAIN VIEW to Mr. 0. T. Ryan. «
