RHONDA ROLLINS PREPARES to ask about a camera, while Waverly Dryden hurries to class. WAITING FOR THE lunch bell to ring are Dave Gardy, John Quinn, Danny Diggs, and Marvin Rollins. BILLIE JO RONDEAU and Cynthia Page wait with the crowd for the bell to ring. School opening arrives with less confusion The first day of school came around with less than the usual confusion. The main reason for this was that the schedules were picked up and straight- ened out prior to school opening. It was still hectic with book and locker assignments, magazine orders and learning locker combinations. The Materials Fee being new to the students also caused confusion. Mr. Carmines states, “The Materials Fee was a fee put on all the students to cover the cost of paper, ink, ditto paper and mimeograph fluid. Things that students don’t see, but they use.’’ Different feelings were expressed by the students. David Davenport said, “I felt both happy and sad; sad to be back, but happy to see my friends again.’’ “School was a hass le at the begin- ning,’’ remarked Barry Russell. Although the students do not realize it, the teachers have feelings about school opening also. Mrs. Clark said, “The first day of school was like starting all over again. I was planning to use new techniques and was opti- mistic. School opening is always hectic but this year was not as hectic as years before.’’ In spite of what they said, most students were glad to get back until the work began. ROBBIE CLARK FINDS pleasure in annoying Hilda Freeman. ■i 10— School Opening

ED CAIN DEFENDS against a Charles City pass as the rest of the team converges on the receiver. ANNA HOLLOWAY, EILEEN Carmines, and Teresa Forrest enthusiastically encour- age the team to another touchdown. Victory spreads through PHS to start chain reaction Enthusiasm sparked the football team to a long string of victories which could be marked as the best season in eight years. The games proved to many students that PHS wasn’t just a small school where nothing happened, but a school where you could get excited at a foot- ball game. PHS was really a place to be proud of. Pride could be seen in the faces of the football players and most of the students when Mr. Carmines would announce the Friday night victory on Monday morning. The first games of the season proved to the team that they had the power to overcome their obstacles and kept improving to reach their final seven- three record. The first game against Charles City started the victory chain, while the second game with Matthews gave them the determination to continue their winning streak. THE CHARLES CITY ball carrier is set up by two Islanders as John Scott and John Quinn move in for the kill. JOHN SCOTT FINDS himself on the bottom of the pile-up as Ed Cam, Randy Luten, and Bubba Jones rush in to help. CHEERLEADERS CINDY HOPKINS and Barbara Watkins lead spectators in a chant as the team tries desperately for a first down.
