four Hello. We are Joe, Tom, and jane Anne-Seniors speaking for the Senior Class. Let us tell you our purpose for' the 1952 Tiger Lily. Our purpose is this: to tell you the story of the 1951-52 school year at PAHS. We wish to do this informally in colloquial conversation. But we aren't going to say much. We have a number of pictures which speak for us about our students, teachers, activities, and affairs. And we mentioned that this book is to be informal. That's right. We have abandoned the traditional section method and theme. Our arrange- ment is chronological. Let us begin.

Last summer CIQSID, as we walked up Arnold Avenue on the way to the park, we passed the high school. As we looked upon this familiar build- ing, we detected an emptiness behind the closed doors. Lacking was the spontaneous and, sometimes, boisterous activity of the students. The window shades uniformly drawn suggested the idleness of the classrooms, and the darkened halls were still. Outside the building, the janitor was tending the lawn which would, with the advent of autumn, be trampled by the students' hurried paces. YVe paused to consider our school. Having been away from it for two and one-half months, we viewed it with a clearer and less biased per- spective. We realized that it did present the opportunities to live with people, to learn, and to have fun. Then, we realized one other thing which almost startled us. We actually missed the place, and we were looking forward to September 5. ve
