Without occu- pants, it is a mere shell that cannot perpetuate the amassed knowledge of mankind. A school is made up of associated parts, comparable to those of a tree. The faculty is the life-giving sustenance which courses through every main artery, every tiny vein, to bring knowledge and understanding to the students. They are the source and reservoir of learning. The seniors and undergraduates are the perfect fruit, the long-awaited product of many years of grooming and nourishing. Sports and activities round out and aug- ment the students' lives, just as leaves fill in and beautify the skeleton of a tree. Moreover, school is spiritg school is cherished memo- riesg and school is the center of each pupils' life. Underclass ..... ........ 6 5 Activities ......... Page T5 Sports . . .. .

t -- x 45 Q i- I l, l 1 5 LY OUTH High presents the 1961 PILGRIM, dedicated to our school. Through the years, the letters PHS have come to symbolize education, youth, citizen- ship and sportsmanship to the students and to all the townspeople. Al- though PHS stands for Plymouth High School, the initials also represent many facets of school life, as you will see as you turn the pages of your yearbook. IGH standards should be our guide posts throughout life. Many of these prin- ciples have already been molded with the aid of understanding parents and teachers. Through such school activities and organizations as Stu- dent Council, National Honor Society, Press Club, PILGRIM staff, varsity sports, and band, we have been able to see the benefits of high school standardsg and we are in- spired to follow these good examples to be- come better citizens. CHOOL life is to most of us a busy whirl of studies and activities. For the seniors school has occupied much of our time for twelve years, and many of us have college ahead. To the juniors, high school has been a challenge- harder studies than last year, greater re- sponsibility in activities, and preparation for leadership in the senior year. The sopho- mores-newcomers to high school-entered eager to gain recognition in the eyes of their upper classmeng and they have suc- ceeded. In this yearbook we have tried to capture the highlights of school life and present PHS to you.

I XM, . 1, lllllllll Tllll T0 .. To Mrs. Marion Whiting, our school sec- retary, We dedicate our Pilgrim in grateful acknowledgement of her service to us and to all the students who have preceded us. For ten years this petite, bustling, effi- cient dynamo has tirelessly carried out her routine duties-typing, recording, telephon- ing, checking up on all of us. She is busy all the time-yet always takes time to listen and to counsel, to reprove or to praise, to Mrs. Marion Whiting intercede in our behalf when we need help most. Quietly and firmly she rules her office: kindly and maternally she exhibits daily her faith in youth, in us, in the future. This is our school secretaryg but more than that, this is our friend.
