I.M.C. Provides More Books, Opportunities The more commonly known as the library, opened at the beginning of the school year and proceeded to provide one of the best resource areas for stu- dents in the country. Including almost 20,000 books, 145 periodicals, and a vast collection of audio-visual materials, the I.M.C. catered to the needs of all stu- dents. As a study area, the I.M.C. proved to be a quiet, relaxing area, conducive to efficient learning. The librarians, with the help of student aides, kept the area in working order, daily cataloging new books and re-shelving used ones. To us, it proved to be an inviting, pleasant area for socializing as well as studying.

English Department Finally Offers English was the only subject required every year of the students’ school career. The Eng- lish teachers at P.C.H.S. attempted to provide the most innovating and exciting courses pos- sible for their students. Freshmen took a tradi- tionally oriented course. Sophomores took one semester of grammar and could choose an elective for the other semester. Juniors and Seniors were allowed to choose whatever type of English they preferred for both semesters. The field was wide open and inviting with such classes as Children’s Literature,” Advanced Grammar,” Journalism,” Books to Broad- way,” Creative Expression,” Novels on the Loss of Innocence,” and The American Novel.” Scheduling was often a problem when the course students chose was not being taught during their English period. Mrs. Ann Armbrister took this headache and managed to place all students somewhere, while taking into consideration their choices, interests, and abilities. The English Department was the largest department at P.C.H.S. They formed an interrelating group of concerned and inter- ested educators, dedicated to better forms of learning. c Mi!
