Eyeing the Changes Using money from the cus- todial maintenance budget, $150,000 worth of new changes in construction and plumbing got the aye” from the administrators. The alter- ations may have gone unnoticed by the freshmen, but in the eyes of the return- ing students and staff most of them were noticed and ap- preciated. The major work in plumbing began in the spring. Lavatories in the east end of the 300 hall were closed as the professional plumbers tore out the pipes. Students in room 309 were treated to the sounds of electric drills and hammers and the sight of dust pouring through a hole made by the absence of five cement blocks in the wall at the front of the classroom. Other plumbing work included the replacement of the hot and cold water lines in the science rooms and new faucets on the sinks in all of the lavatories. Maintenance work went be- yond plumbing. Sanding off memories which once stood in the form of graffiti on the senior benches was one of the many projects custodians did to help make improve- ments. The painting and touching up of many classrooms, offices, and lavaratories in pastel shades of green, yel- low, almond, and blue was a treat to most students and staff. The painting of the yearbook darkroom in 10% photo gray added the element of non glare to improve the quality of black and white printing. The paint- ing of the outside doors was also done. Going into the courtyards during lunches, at spring and fall dances, and in between class was a more colorful trip because planters filled with flowers, of course, in red and white.

Painted in bright red, the PHHS em- blem added a touch of spirit to the gym walls. The center of the gym floor was illustrated with an Indian head. Renewing the carpet and replac- ing the old kitchen sink and floor in the Physically or Otherwise Health Impaired classroom is one of the many changes that hap- pened throughout our school. Miss McCombs a new teacher that was added to our staff now teaches in this room. Waiting for their own turn, Tim 75 pounds in a preacher curl.
