The band accelerated school spirit at pep rallies and half-time shows, while the Key Club pro! vided the football fans with programs. The Tri-Hi-Y decorated a Christmas tree for the school lobby and collected food for the needy in the community. Future Nurses provided holiday gifts for a local rest home. Some excellent school assemblies were sponsored by the student council which was also instrumental in setting up several school policies. The newspaper, The Panther's View, which in T959 won first place award in the annual Quill and Scroll Society con- test, did a great iob of public relations by keeping the student body informed and alerting the community as to what was going on in our school. The yearbook staff, in producing this year's annual, hopes it has been able to portray a sense of pride felt by all students. As we display devotion to our school and community, we look back to May 27, 1959 when a truly great statesman, John Foster Dulles, was laid to rest. His life was one of utmost devotion to his country.

TEACHERS is Q AND ADMINISTRATORS Wide World Photo: Charles Van Doren answers questions in Wash- ington during the TV scandal. Earl Richman was one of the many students who received advice and guidance from Miss Wood, student guidance couselor this year. Life at Perry was influenced by the teachers and administrators. Perry is generally known for the fine relationship between students and faculty and this atmosphere has given many boys and girls added courage and inspiration. The guidance department took on more importance with the appointment of Mr. Burris to a full time position and Miss Wood as counselor for girls. While students at Columbia University were seek- ing the reinstatement of assistant English professor, Charles Van Doren, who was under fire in congress after admitting complicity in the rigging of TV show Twenty-One, Perry High was busy laying the edu- cational foundation for future Werner Von Brauns, and engineers for a greater Cape Canaveral of the future. The administration tirelessly pushed the bond is- sue and levy in order that not only the present schools remain open, but that we have much needed addi- tional room for providing the best of learning condi- tions for each and every student.
