CLASSES With the clang of the gates, another day begins for the eager students of P.H.S. Waving to friends, opening lockers, and walking through the halls precede the busy, mad scramble to first period. Many busy noises are heard from the rooms of P.H.S. The sound of a sewing machine or a mixing bowl may be heard as one passes by the Home Economics rooms. From the math classes we can hear everything from the fundamentals of math to statistic problems. Primitive man to his twentieth century posterity and their governmental progress are studied by the history and government classes. Sounds of “Cinderella” and “Snow White” are heard, as well as the swish of paint brushes and actors busy rehearsing, as we pass by Speech and Dramatics. As we proceed down typing hall, we hear the noisy click of typewriters. Dictation to future secretaries is heard as they labor to make the curls and marks of short- hand. Going down the stairs to the music department, we hear the singing of the talented choral groups. Going farther, the lively music of the P.H.S. band invites one to march on. iHabla usted el espanol? If you do not, the lively Spanish class is just the place to learn. Not to be outdone by com- petitors, the students of French echo a loud, nasal, Parlez-vous francais. Not conversing but laboring just the same, the students of Latin study the adventures of Hercules and Jason and the Argonauts. Passing by the English department, everything from Beowulf to Julius Caesar to the modern era can be heard. In the science department, the rattle of glass- ware and the tipping of the scales can mean only one thing — an action- filled hour in the lab. As we trudge to the shop, through wind and rain, sounds of craftsmen’s tools become audible. Going farther we come to the industrial arts building, where artists are busy creating designs, drawing plans, and learning mechanics. Mental stimulation is not all that is present in P.H.S. ; physical well-being plays a vital part in the student’s daily routine. “One-two-class-halt,” can be heard as the Physical Education students complete a vigorously stimulating exercise drill. After a busy, active day the weary students fill the bus once again to depart for home with the ringing of the faithful 3:10 bell. Tools of Learning 30
