The modern design of PHS is emphasized by the saucer like dome of the large gymnasium. The main building, containing the classrooms, is constructed in a square with the library at its center for the convenience of all departments. Rows of cement bleachers descend from the side of the school to the practice field. In years to come this field will see many football games and track events.

Literally the center of attraction it the gigantic circular gym with its spider-like roof. Preserving on film the people and scenes that make up a per- formance are the photographers with their multitude of bright lights and searching lenses. Outdoor sets are used in the annual activity of the painting of the P . After hours of carrying water and pouring lime, some sit back and admire the finished product. —7—

High Saucer-Dome Distinguishes School A Ion tractor stands parked with a variety of other vehicles outside the mechani- cal and agricultural shops. Beyond this area is the patio where some students ate their lunches throughout the year. A future high school student gazes at the flowers, shrubs, and small trees which decor- ated the lobby planter during the dedication ceremonies. The first year at the new school brought prob- lems with the many modem conveniences. Seniors as well as sophomores and juniors were confused and had to adjust themselves to the new schedules and routines. A closed campus, divided lunch hours, and vending machines were features that brought some controversies. Soft carpets in the wide halls and television programs and newscasts brought a different atmosphere to the school, but the activities and the people did not change. The conveniences did, however, make the learning process more enjoyable and less of a chore. (Mosaic designed by David Phare. Dan Kemple) This Badger mosaic was placed in the sidewalk at the entrance of the new school by the Class of 1966. A tradition was established that no one may walk on this mosaic of the mascot. —9—
