Community Involvement Life at P.H.S. had many facets which re- flected life around the whole town of Pulaski. Cool weather and falling leaves soon brought out winter clothes and flushing faces. The col- ors of Homecoming mingled with Halloween and the spirit of marauding goblins. Seniors enjoyed companionship along with a variety of snacks and heavy music, although the selection of records was often frowned upon by the teachers present. Donuts and milk soon became a pleasant way for Seniors to begin their day. Teachers were looking forward to a large at- tendance at the first PTA meeting, but were disappointed with a relative small turnout of parents. Parents were oriented with a new nine- weeks grading system, and were adjourned from the meeting so they could become acquainted with the faculty. Student guides were on hand to direct parents throughout the school. Mr. Puckett heard many fine tales from students trying to get absentee passes. Absent students could not return to class without facing the ordeal of obtaining a pass from Mr. Puckett. Students took advantage of the clear fall weath- er to enjoy nature and each other around the campus. The old soldier in Jackson Park kept an eye on the activities of Pulaski in the past and will continue to in the future. High stepping color guard brightens Southeastern Band Festival. P.H.S. will become a Junior High School in the near future. Mr. Puckett begins his daily ritual of signing absentees. Nola VanHoy directs a misguided parent to a class during P.T.A. Roger Banks orders milk at the Senior bar from Fred Dula. 4
