Do you have any special memories you would like to share about your days at PHS?
Special memories about my days at PHS would have to be our Homecoming activities because as a class you were involved in a lot of activities (building a bon-fire). Of course, who could forget our school cooks, Myrtle Heineman, Pearl Mayberry, Edna Case, and Pearl Hinirichs, who made so many wonderful homemade items. If you worked in the kitchen doing dishes you got special treatment.
