In this year of our nation ' s bicentennial, Poquoson ' s history became more prominent. Poquoson was first mentioned in 1628 and through the years, it has left it ' s mark on the area. Poquoson became a town in 1952. Over the past 24 years it has continued to grow and grow. Because of this continued growth, Poquoson was able to attain city status in 1975. How has this affected the students at P.H.S. ? , you may ask. Over the years, our cities growth has created the need for more space. Overcrowding became a factor influencing everyday student life. Classes were held in every imaginable place, including the library and in closets. Also, the influx of more and more students created other problems. Cheating became widespread and the honor code was almost practically ignored. Preparing for college is an important step in life. Sandy Pride and David Brandt aren ' t sure they ' re ready. Sports plays a considerable part in the school life at P.H.S. Keith Thomas scores another point for the Islanders . Another important part of school life is the planning between the faculty and the guidance dept. Ms. Powell and Mrs . Dryden confer on next year ' s schedule. This sign symbolizes our city status which Poquoson received in 1975 . 2

Top-clockwise : The library or more commonly known as Deufel ' s Domain was the scene of many activities. Here, Cheryl Wain- wright complains about physics to Coleman Wolford and Jenny Jackson. Mike Perkins and Gar- land Hanson shoot the breeze as the girls go by. As usual Mrs. Insley has a pile of work and Mr. Jackson doesn’t offer to help. Jenny Jackson is contemplat- ing the best way to get out of Honors math, or could she be think- ing about a guy. 3 .
