The Student Council is responsible for those as it continues in its eighth year. And what about the fine assembly programs we ' ve had during the term? There again we find the Student Council. The Student Council promotes athletics and also sponsors the various drives of the year. The war against Infantile Paralysis and Tuberculosis is outstanding among its activities. Being a democratic body, the members are chosen by the popular vote of the students. Led in its various activities by President Kenneth Brown and Vice President Wallie Gene White, while Helen Loper keeps the minutes and funds, the Student Council serves the school wisely and well. We owe much to our wise and faithful counsellor. Miss Bertha Hunt. Eight SAFETY PATROL Boy, you know why you ' re in here? Ask a few of our students where they ' ve heard that sentence before, and see what they tell you! Seriously, through — the Safety Patrol this year has been striving to make our school a better place in which to live. Many a time we ' ve had unpleasant duties to perform — but we ' ve had the cooperation of the student body behind us. With Gerald Patesel as Captain and Ken Brown as Lieutenant, the Safety Patrol, composed of twenty-one members chosen from the Junior and Senior classes, has had as its goal the promotion of safety in school and on the buses. Operating for the good of all, the Safety Patrol is the Voice of Safety on the campus. Our sponsor and helper is Mrs. Louise Brown.

In order to accomplish these objectives, everyone, whether he is on the home front or the battle front, will have to do his utmost.

HISTORY CLASS OF ' 43 Eighty-one of us, eager to enter upon our high school career, timidly, yet with all the confidence of Freshman, entered our door of higher learning on September 7, 1939. How well we remember that day! We knew That first year we learned that friendships formed in high school are lasting and valuable. And we learned another lesson — a real one — namely, that we didn ' t know so much as we thought we did! Ah, memories! How well we recall the day we discovered that we didn ' t even know how to walk in the halls! And who did those upper-classmen think they were. Just wait until next year. Jane Moore, as President, with the help of Vice-President Olive Mills, Secretary, Frank Lee Forrest, and Treasurer, Audrey Forrest led us through that first year wisely and well. And then, on September 5, 1940, we were Sophomores — sixty-six of us. We were worldly — wise — and important. Led by Henry Gary Bradshaw, President, Jerry Freeman, Vice-President, and William Alfred Carmines, Secretary-Treasurer, that year was full of interesting events. We, as Sophomores, were privileged to engage in more extra-curricular activities, and the prospect of being Juniors in a little while loomed big and bright. September 4, 1941 was a big day in the lives of 57 people as we Juniors , proud as peacocks, strutted boldly back and forth, knowing that the Seniors didn ' t have much on us. Our only regret was that some of our Gang had dropped from our number since we started together in ' 39. Yet, something new had been added. This year our leaders were Joseph Messick, Nell Clarke, Vice-President, and Jerry Freeman, Secretary-Treasurer. At last! September 10, 1942. Could it be possible? SENIORS!! Boy! What envious glances those little Freshmen were giving us. How well we could remember the time when we were in their shoes. This last year has been interesting — and fun. Oh, of course we ' ve wished a thousand times that it would soon be over and we ' d be graduates — but honestly, now that we are near its close, we hate to say goodbye . There are so many memories. That first day we were honored by hearing Mr. Thomas say at the close of Assembly, The Seniors will leave first . And the day we ordered class rings and calling cards, and selected invitations. Ups and downs — We ' ve had ' em this year — but we ' ve come through 46 strong, having started out with 50. We regret the loss of Mary Wade, Ashley Eledge, John Lemuel Forrest, and Ethel Mae Brown, who left us during the year. As we, the graduating class of ' 43, go out these walls into a world at war, we trust that we shall take with us the armor which we have molded for ourselves here at P. H. S. We do not say goodbye as we leave now, but au Revoir , realizing that our lives here shall ever be an open book. C. A.

We feel that in this world of today allegiance is very much in order, and certainly it is due those of you to whom we present this book. So, it is with humility and pride that we submit for your enjoyment our efforts, with the sincere hope that you will find as much joy in turning these pages as we found in compiling them ....

DRAMATICS CLUB All The World ' s A Stage — Shakespeare The curtain rises — all is peace and expectation in the audience. But all is not peace and quiet behind scenes! What if the performance is not successful? What if our efforts fail? Lights, camera, action! And the curtain rises on Act I. The per- formance goes smoothly in spite of our fears! Act II. — and we ' re holding our breath! But why? All ' s well when the curtain falls again. Act III. — What if we do leave out a few lines? Everybody ' s happy when the curtain drops on the last scene! And this ends a typical Dramatics Club play. A Ready-Made Family was no exception — and did we have fun producing it!! Leaders Wallie Cent White, Charline Forrest, Olive Mills — with the splendid co-operation of the entire Dramatic Class and our Sponsors, Miss Richardson, have been loyal and true. We hope that Shakespeare would at least smile a little upon us if he could occupy an orchestra seat at one of our performances. Thirty-Two Wallis Gene Whits. Hive Mills.

And Mama Agnes isn ' t much better off! How can they enjoy their venture upon the sea of matrimony with pranking stepchildren interfering to break up the match! 3 And then there ' s always Aunt Lydia! Neurosis, baby prattle, tricks, fits — how will Henry ever survive it! But he does, and nothing daunts the wedded bliss of him and his beloved Agnes. With the last curtain comes applause — and happily so — for the splendid cast of A Ready-Made Family , presented by the members of the 1943 Dramatics Class.

GLEE CLUBS Louder- — Softer — Sh-h- For days ' n days before Christmas Glee Club angels” were flitting around from hall to auditorium — followed by Miss O ' Hara and Mr. Thomas. Purpose? Why, observing Fathers ' Night, of course! The program was a success. We couldn ' t afford not to strike a patriotic note, however. So result? An entertainment at Fortress Monroe. And did the boys like it? The two Glee Clubs have worked together harmoniously with Presi- dents Ray Rollins and Beulah Carmines.

LINCOLN CLUBS Whatever shall appear to be God ' s will, I shall do. — Lincoln We worked our tongues out ; we sweated and struggled; we blamed our O ' s on a million things — but we had fun in our club meetings, at which time we managed to get as far away from history in the rough as possible! However, we stuck to Lincoln — you bet! And, led by such cap- able members as Olive Mills and Jerry Freeman, our Presidents, and Mrs. Freeman, our Sponsor, we feel that we have accomplished much through our organization.

So, under the Sponsorship of Miss Richardson, we decided to organize ourselves as a club, bearing the dignified name of TERMITES . But our club meetings haven ' t been boring no, sir! We ' ve learn- ed through these the many hidden talents of most of the TERMITES — and we ' ve improved our ability to face an audience, too. Led by Ken Brown, Harry Lee Holloway, Nell Clarke, and Joe Messick, we ' ve come through an interesting year together.

LATIN CLUBS Deus Est in Nobis If only Julius Caesar and the other illustrious Romans could see us now! Even Shakespeare could not improve upon our version of things! Many a time we ' ve been reluctant to enter the door to Latin class, but after all it ' s been worthwhile — and we feel that we ' ve been loyal Romans, with every right to wear the toga . Through our club meetings, under the leadership of Consuls Wallie Gene White and Herbert Morse, and our Sponsor, Miss Richardson, we feel that we have come a long way toward a deeper appreciation of the grandeur that was Rome , for in these meetings our purpose has been to learn some- thing of the life of the people whose language we study from day to day.

Sewing in cooperation with the Junior Red Cross for the nearby Service Men has been a privilege., and we ' ve enjoyed it. Then, our discussions on improved recreational facilities in the com- munity may in time bear fruit too we hope! Under the splendid leadership of our sponsor, Miss Louise Baird, and our officers, Anna Lou Johnson, Olive Mills, Audrey Winters, and Bethany Forrest, we, in our Home Ec.

CLUB Victory . . . — Inspired by a love for humanity — especially those suffering from the horrors of war — and because of a desire to see liberty, freedom, and de- mocracy continue, the B. Y. Club was organized so that we could do our little bit toward victory. Through our meager efforts two Chinese Children have been fed and clothed for a year, and we are proud of our work. With leaders like Elsie White, Jimmie Lee Bray, Miss Elizabeth Cutler and Mrs. R. E. Hunt to spur us on, we feel that we have done something toward the victory of the UNITED NATIONS. • ' ■I • ' 1 1 VICTORY CLUB “Victory Bound From Chaucer to Shakespeare — from Shakespeare to Masefield — yes, the Victory Club is hard at work again, under the leadership of Mrs. Hunt, our Sponsor. We ' ve met Beowulf and Macbeth, Milton and Johnson, and loved them all. Not only do we have a more thorough knowledge of English Literature as a result of this club, but our dues are sent to China Relief to help support our “adopted Chinese boy and girl. Led by President Garland Forrest and Vice-President Clyde Russell Smith, while Lucille Bradshaw keeps the records and Robert Floyd Holloway counts the money — we are “Victory Bound.

INDEPENDENCE CLUB Keep Democracy Shining Yesterday — today — and tomorrow! What a world of changes and sur- prises — and hopes — for the infants of democracy! We ' ve waded through countless pages of textbooks for our answer, but to us the call comes clearest through our fellow classmates. So we have been bound together as a History III Club for a whole school year now, under the guidance of our loyal Sponsor, Mrs. Freeman, our President, Charles Meadows, our Vice-President, John Thomas Firth, our Secretary, Nancy Hug- gett, and our Treasurer, Lucille Bradshaw. Bearing before us our ideal of democracy, we look not just behind us, but ahead of us to a better tomorrow.

We strive to follow our heroes We live to learn, as has been wisely stated, so our History and English II Class, under the leadership of our Sponsor, Mrs. Louise Brown, decided to abandon books twice a month and follow this advice! Socrates, Aristotle, and others have suffered no end under our expert examinations of them, but we have come out none the worse with such leaders as Ethel Spence, Helen Loper, Lelia Carmines, and Clayton Nelson!

We, as young citizens of America, must carry on a job now being well done . Through organization we feel stronger; therefore, the fifth and sixth period history and English class, with Mrs. Louise Brown as Sponsor formed this year a Sophomore Civic Club in order to foster among ourselves a deeper appreciation of the world situation today.

In class, yes — and yet, why not organize for that purpose? Thus ran our dis- cussion. Result? — the General Music Club, under the leadership of Miss Edna O ' Hara our music teacher. We had to have leaders in this understanding, so we chose Wayne Camp- bell for President, Lelia Carmines for Vice-President, Katherine Huggett for Secretary and John Thomas Firth for Treasurer. Music hath charms — and we have found this to be true through our organization for a better understanding of what music is. Forty-Six UNCLE SAM ' S HELPERS Stamp The Axis With Stamps Any bonds today? And Uncle Sam ' s helpers are on the go. When a Freshman said one day., Let ' s stamp the Axis with stamps , we decided to make a club of the idea, with the help of Miss Lewis, our Sponsor. So every time we lick a stamp, we feel a certain pride in helping to lick the Axis! We ' re Uncle Sam ' s Helpers — we Freshman History and English patriots. All patriots must have leaders — and we are satisfied with Cecil Moore, Mary Pearl Joyner, Emma Louise Freeman, and Eva Lee Owens as ours. So on to Victory with bonds and stamps!

GOOD CONDUCT CLUB By Way of Example In November our History III Class decided to organize itself into a club for the purpose of working and learning together with a spirit of cooperation and good will. We felt that as an organization we might better appreciate our opportunity for living together as a group of students who are all in- terested in the same things. In our meetings it has been our aim to study our heroes of the past and present, and to further in ourselves the rules for good conduct which they set forth. Under the guidcnce of Richard Diggs, President. Gene Rollins. Vice- President, Frances Mills, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mrs. Nannie Freeman, Sponsor, we feel that we have accomplished much during this year.

ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGE CLUB To speak — and to speak well We studied them all — the ways of people from almost every country, including our own. All that was fun. but it was much more fun to suspend class activities one day every other week and have a club program! We have truly tried to learn to speak — and to speak well this year, and we feel that we have made some progress at least, under the leader- ship of Jerry Bunting, Hunter Riggins, Jr., Virginia Pascall, and Mrs. Moore, our Sponsor.
