To The Students and Faculty of Pulaski High School Plans to move to the new Pulaski County High School have been reflected in past PHS activities. Homecoming, Winter Formal, Miss PHS and many other school functions found themselves facing the ageless theme of the end of Pulaski High School. Some other changes reflected in this year of transition were the innovation in SCA elections, teachers leaving to prepare for new facilities, and more broadly, the state of our national economy. Instead of the usual student government elections, an advisory counsel of ten students was elected from the two county high schools. Teachers prepared the curriculum to be offered to PCHS students and to be included in the handbook used for course registration. The changes in the national economy were felt by students and teachers alike. Prices in school lunches rose slightly as soaring inflation moved in. Car pools formed and bicycles appeared to help conserve what little fuel there was to be had. Heavy sweaters and down jackets were the “in” tiling. Whether this was due to temperature cutbacks or for warmth while waiting in gas lines was not known — probably a combination of both. We, as individuals could no longer ignore the reality of political crises, shortages and transition in our school itself. In fact, anticipation began to take the place of anxieties as the year wore on. An attempt was made for the last yearbook to include the nostalgia, both bad and good as well as the enthusiasm for the future. 2
