Satisfaction to Winners Competition came to Pueblo in many forms other than sports. In scholarship, students pitted their brain power against others. In the case of John Anderson, it paid off spectacularly. Being se- lected a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship qualified him as a true scholar and gave PHS pride in his achievement. Math and science test winners proved their ability to themselves and to the universities being considered. Taking exams dealing with one aspect of education helps them know whether they really want to pursue the subject. Another form of competition is in industrial arts. The young men who won recognition at the Arizona state fair will soon find themselves out in the world competing for the better jobs in their vocation. Their ex- perience teaches a need for excellence. Homemaking may seem routine-except when the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award brings a scholarship to an outstanding girl. 46 Precision in every detail is essential to satisfactory work in industrial arts courses. Each young man who won a state fair award aimed at this ideal. Frank Saenz,

Varied Interests Put PHS on the Move Mike Wilson and Eugene Dong gazed upward as they inspected the new city administration building due to open in August. This and discussion of governmental functions was included with the SCAD program. Catching a spare minute, John St. Ledger reflected on the discussion topic for the Lucky contest. It covered the economic principles of the American free enter- prise system. Mr. Buck kept the Spirit Trophy until it was awarded to the class winning the most spirit points. Organized leadership is a sign of strength and achievement. It stems from an informed student body. Pueblo had such a student body, and its leaders pre- sented a united force at inter-city events. One such event was Student Council Ad- ministration Day, organized so that stu- dents take over the city for one day. All offices are up for election and candi- dates compete with students from all over the city. Individual initiative is a vital in- gredient of leadership. John St.Ledger and Sue Stropko entered a contest spon- sored by Lucky food stores. First prize was a thousand dollar scholarship. Competition with other schools is only as good as the spirit behind it. Pueblo's student council sponsored a spirit contest between the different classes. Points were given all during the year for projects aimed at promoting school spirit. A spirit week was orga- nized February 20-24 with each class decorating ci hall. A trophy was given to the winning class at the end of the year. 45
