The scene for the 52-53 school year is set as we see a large group of smiling faces ready to face whatever this new place holds in store for them. Initiation is the first big event and even the boys (much to their dismay) had to wear green ribbons in their hair. Another big event was the Homecoming game. Such a crowd and such cheering! The second scene opens with much rejoicing as it is now their turn to initiate the Greenhorns! The Sophomores then ordered their class rings which they will receive when they return to PHS in the fall of '54 as full-fledged upper-classmen Juniors!!! First Row: Marilyn Sutton. Colleen Stull.

Mrs. Rathbun has just completed making a list of assignments for the patrol boys. As we probe deeper into our play book, we find the supporting cast frantically preparing for their four-act performance. For two years, the Jr. High have rehearsed and now move into the limelight under the capable direction of Mrs. E. Rath-bun, Miss L. Murton and Mrs. B. Carberry. Preparation for the play began in September of '53 when the eighth grade chose Patsy Gentes as President to lead them through the year. Her assistants were Jim Smrcina, Vice-President; and Steve Martin, Secretary-Treasurer. Under the careful direction of these students and their teachers, the Jr. High participated in many activities and projects. One of the biggest being the annual magazine sale. Elaine Erickson was the leading salesman and won a plaque for her effort. Jr. High — 25
