Having been enrolled in the second term (which began April 16th), I missed the photo sessions taken in the early part of the year.
This second term marked the first time that calculators were formally introduced into the mathematics curriculum (much to my relief/delight!) Slide rules were now a thing of the past—talk about a narrow escape!
Unlike some high schools, PBHS apparently never had a summer uniform, so when summer arrived, wearing blazers was not mandatory, and sleeves could be rolled up. Ties, of course, were still required, but some crafty students got the idea of wearing them intentionally 'shortened', which resulted in a new rule being made and enforced by teachers and prefects alike.
