COUNSELORS AND SECRETARIES Mrs. Barbara Crockett Secretary Mrs. Joan Propst Secretary Miss Hattie Clemons B.S.; Virginia Union University Study Hall Supervisor Mrs. Mary Holloway B.A.: Westhampton Reading Coordinator Mrs. Propst works on the absentee list. Mrs. Crockett keeps financial records for the annual staff. Mrs. Holloway helped many students with their reading problems and Miss Clemons guided students in their studies. To insure that the school day would run smoothly, the secretarial staff arrived early and departed late. Acting as typists, accountants, errand girls, chaperones, and ticket agents for ball games, they, in truth, helped to form the backbone of our administration. As the 3; 10 bell sounded and we left for home, they remained and, finding the first silence of the day, worked dUigently on for several hours. When they left, the halls were empty and no “good-bye” met their ears. 21

INTEREST IN OUR NATIVE LANGUAGE Mrs. Margaret L. Smith B.S.: Duke University English Mrs. Margaret W. Springer B.S.: Madison College English Mrs. Katherine Sutherland B.S.; Radford College English; Speech Drama Mr. Henry A. Whitehurst A.B.; V.P.I. English Challenged with the formidable task of preparing P.H.S. students for college and the highly technological world of to- morrow, the Enghsh department effective- ly endeavored to coordinate a thoroughly informative curriculum. New ideas and methods were introduced as new in- structors joined the department. As complex grammar was mastered, confidence in the correct usage of the English language was increased. The jour- ney through American and English litera- ture exposed the student to the writings of Shakespeare, Dickens, Longfellow, Chaucer, Sandburg, Faulkner, and many others. Enjoyment and knowledge came with the study of one’s native language.
