i Fifty years. Only half a century. Not even a lifetime. Yet in this span an institution was born, and grew, and is still growing. From its solitary build- ing of 1914 to the twenty-two of today, it has moved with swiftness in physical growth. But this is not what has made the Putnam City School System what it is. That has been left up to academic achievement, character, and the individuals who are the school. More than 4,500 youth have already been graduated from this institution, each a more learned person for his association with PCHS, and each leaving a bit of himself in Putnam. These alumni think of high school, as will we, as one of the most fruitful times of their lives. Dear to them are the acquaintances they made, the teachers who led them, the clubs that they supported, and the athletic events for which they cheered. The administration and students who have been Putnam City up to now have earned for it the name of Great, and through academic quality com- mensurate with growth can we keep that name. Many changes, both in academic offerings and in facilities, have been made, but we do not look to the past except with pride. Future growth must be the panorama in viewg hence, here in the TREASURE CHEST is our school as it appears now, the prospect from which we look ahead at the beginning of a new period of growth and achievement. That prospect is promising, for it is by the past that We judge the future. What is past is prologue. William Shakespeare olde Zvei C1 fa I X2 fest' Kg 72' 56'
