Athletics: Victories for Burgundy Gold Athletics added a new dimension to our tapestry — we won! Cougars took to field or court or mat inspired by pat- terns clearer than previous ones. In ath- letic competitions, strategies grew from meaningless lines into clear realities. It was not the perfect year in athlet- ics, but improvement marked every phase of athletic endeavor. District championships were sometimes reali- ties. On several occasions they were near realities. Regardless of the success or failure of our athletes, an obvious attitudinal difference emerged. Athletes filled the tapestry with burgundy and gold — horizontal lines, vertical lines, a plaid; and we were on our way to the top.

Individual Input Is Final Dimension The lines strengthened through classes and clubs and teams, and branched to encompass every student at P.C.H.S. Some were, unfortunately, discordant, raveling our tapestry or causing ripples in its surface. The majority, however, bent to their tasks, adding subtler hues, more intricate pat- terns. To the routines of studies, organiza- tions, and contests, they added work and play, personality and productivity, triumph and tragedy. They also stretched our tapestry into the commu- nity, the state, the nation, and the world. They established reciprocal rela- tionships with homes, jobs, churches, — with the “outside world” — and wove the final dimension into the tap- estry that was Pulaski County High School.
