Division: man against man. In today’s
world, fellowship between nations
rarely exists. Lack of communication
results in blurred relationships, and an
absence of brotherhood leads to
misconceptions about foreign cultures.
It is difficult to imagine a place where
a variety of people from areas both
near and far can live together . . . a
place where there is indeed unity in
the midst of diversity. Yet those who
have sat in the quadrangle, shaded by
the bell tower, and those who have
walked down the crowded “B”-wing
hall on their way to lunch know of
such a place . . . a school called Pine
Crest.

Not everyone knows one another at
Pine Crest. It is just like any other
school with its cliques and clubs. Still,
there is a mixture of lifestyles and
customs spicing the campus atmos­
phere.

4/Opening

Pine Crest students come from all over
the globe to live and study in the
school’s dormitories. Holland, Iran,
Panama, Venezuela, Canada, Hong
Kong, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico, and
the Bahamas are a few of the places
that some call home. They packed
their bags, said goodbye, and came to
live in the sun and fun of Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.
Their reasons for coming vary. Some
come because the education offered at
home is not challenging enough, and
they seek to find a more demanding
curriculum. Others come for the
reputation of excellence which the
school’s sports program holds. How­
ever, most come to learn about life in
the United States.
This awareness of other cultures
becomes a mutual experience. While
foreign students observe their Amer­
ican peers, their American peers
observe them. Both see and learn.
They may not like what they see and
may not always get acquainted with
the person from whom they learn, but
a better understanding of a different
people and their culture is gained.

1 \ymm isp 1 When a foreign student comes to Pine
Crest, he has access to a number of
IS activities which he might not have
found at home. Students participate in
both school-sponsored events and
outside activities.

The activities which are offered by the
school include dances, drama produc­
tions, assemblies, interesting speakers,
and cultural arts performances. Other
festivities include Homecoming,
Junior-Senior Prom, and dormitory
* activities. Susan Day, a tenth grade
dorm student from Venezuela, stated:
“I like to go to school dances because
they are good places to meet people
and make friends.”

Student life involves more than just
school-sponsored activities. Many
possibilities await active students once
off the Pine Crest campus. Students
who are interested in recreation may
go to the beautiful beaches of Fort
Lauderdale. If students need extra
money, they may obtain a part time
job. The Guidance Office assists in this
area. Pine Crest students have found
that the old saying is true: “Seek and
you shall find.”

Activities Keep Girls Busy




Most people who were not well
acquainted with the girls’ dorm
viewed it as just another building that
housed more than sixty girls. To the
girls who lived there, however, it was
a home or even a continual slumber
party.


Living in the dorm had many
advantages. Among them was the
convenience of living on campus and
being able to fully participate in
extra-curricular activities. Jill Parker,
a junior from Naples, discussed the
most important advantage. She said,
“You learn to share in the dorm. I’ve
had to share a room for the first time
in my life.”


Dorm activities contributed greatly to
the feeling of unity. Activity director
Phyllis Kent planned numerous trips
and parties. Every weekend, trips
were made to skating rinks, water
slides, and go-cart tracks. Special trips
were planned to Walt Disney World,
Spanish River Park, A CHORUS
LINE, the circus, Broward Mall, and
Vizcaya. A Weight Watcher’s Program
was organized by Miss Karen Snape
and Mrs. Margaret Watkins. At the
weekly weigh-in, a weight gain cost

School Spirit Soars




“Go Panthers, Go!” Cheers like this
could be heard at any athletic contest.
This spirit was led by the cheerleaders
and service clubs. The students
responded enthusiastically.


Various clubs worked to reach their
goal: a spirited student body. The
cheerleaders led pep rallies before
home football games. The Pep Club
covered the Pep Board with the latest
athletic news. The Varsity Clubs
sponsored theme nights during home
basketball games. Themes included
Lunch Box and Shades Night, Kitchen
Utensil Night, and Army-Navy Night.

Many items were sold to students who
wanted to show their spirit. These
novelty items included T-shirts,
tribbles, buttons, banners, mega­
phones, and caps.

School spirit due to student participa­
tion gave the Panthers the winning
edge. The spirited fans were indeed an
extra player on the athletic field.
