If you were to describe ife in Pres- cott to a visitor, what would you say? Boring ? 'Cold''? It's a start, but that doesn't realy give some- one a sense of the town, its style Walt a minute.'' you say What kind of style can a town with only one McDonald's possibly have?'' Actualy. it's that very smallness which gives Prescott its own per- sonality We share a sense of famil- iarity that brings us together. When LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN we look back in 20 years (just think — the year 2008) we'l remember the things that were unique to us and no-one else during our life in this northern town Cruising up Gurley, down Gurley, out Milter VaHey and back ogam at least ten times every Friday night. Sitting at the Jack-in-the-Box parking lot. watching everyone else cruise up Gurley, down Gurley Driving up Ruth Street on the way to school Monday morning, hoping that there wasn’t a pofcce car hid- ng behind the Potter's House Going to a footbal game and seemg the whole town there Painting badger paw prints on Ruth Street for homecoming Trying to keep from freezing dur- ing the courthouse lighting (which always seemed to happen some- time around Thanksgiving) Getting together for a weekend bonfire in the forest, something Phoenix kids can't do (did you ever mistake a saguaro for a pme tree?) AH of these things belong only to us Now try to convince some- one that Prescott doesn't have style WHAT'S INSIDE 2 OPENING Great beginnings 8 ACADEMICS 40 PEOPLE 142 STUDENT LIFE 178 ORGANIZATIONS 192 SPORTS 222 ADS AND INDEX 242 CLOSING Never say goodbye LEFT: An unidentified student struggles through the depths of his locker, vainly searching for that lost book (Photo by Pam Toth)

The beginning of the year is always a time for building liter- ally as well as figuratively For PHS students, this meant building new friendships, im- proving on old ones, and work- ing on their education. For the high school itself, this meant the beginning of con- struction on a new gym and the addition of a whole wing to the northeast side of campus. Sheri Thompson, senior, com- plained. It looked like we were in prison with all the barbed wire. The construction also meant all the doors on the NE side couldn't be used, especially fun for people who had classes in the portables and had to walk all the way around the outside of the school to get there — in five minutes I had to get from the porta- ble to the gym in a mere five minutes, and yet. as I passed the Art room, the bell would ring. Horror passed through my mind — would I be able to get dressed out on time? said sen- ior Suzie Mullane And how about the parking? The new gym-in-the-making took up about 1 3 of the up- per-lot spaces and many of the rest became teacher parking. Senior Greg Owens stated simply. It sucked But no matter what the ob- stacles were, new and old alike managed to begin the 1987-88 school year with style
