Of Biomes and Mitochondria... Freshmen discovered the world in 1977-’78. Most students took world geography and gained a glimpse of cultures and climes far different from their own. Others chose to study what was rather than what is: they learned world history from prehistoric times to modern day. (Some of them were firmly convinced, as are all history students, that their teachers told about ancient times from personal ex¬ perience.) Through experimentation, ninth graders explored the physical char¬ acteristics of the earth in earth science. They discussed topics from earthquakes to stars. Others explored the living world around them in Bio¬ logy 9 and talked of biomes and mitochondria. Both courses were augmented by audio-visuals and by field work around the school nature trial. Students found themselves exposed to differing cultures in another fashion — by learning to speak for¬ eign languages. The school offered ninth graders the opportunity to take Theory is a necessary part of the study of biology — Louis Allen and Karen Linkous listen to Mr. Bob McGinley’s pointers on frog dissection. classes in French, German, or Span- ed not only the language but also the ish. In these courses, freshmen learn- customs of people in other lands. Elizabeth V. Hinton Nancy C. Hoback Donna M. Hodge Robert W. Hodge Timothy C. Hodges Monica S. Hoel Lora L. Hogan Rita F.

Nevertheless, they soon got into the spirit of things, adding their weight of numbers to mass expres¬ sions of school support. Although many freshmen sat be¬ wildered through their first high school class-competition yell, they needed no coaching to fit into the soc¬ ial mainstream. They turned out, en masse, for sock hops and school activities. They also involved themselves in the many clubs offered at P.C.H.S. They joined the science club and the I.C.F. and many others, as well. Showing off their many talents, ninth graders contributed their abilities to the Inklings, Cougar Pinnacle, and Cougar Din. Giving of themselves, freshmen earned positions on school teams, while others worked to lead the stu¬ dent body in cheers during pep rallies. Ninth graders worked hard to involve themselves in school activities. 24 Freshmen (TOP) F.B.L.A. members Debbie Reed, Beth Ramsey, Lisa Hamilton, and Lisa Miller prepare Christmas projects to take to Joy Ranch.
