Y' p Y g ,. Lite at Perry High School was concentrating on reaching higher goals while hoodlums in New York were causing riots and gang-tights. The students at Perry were engaged in serving others, working for leadership abilities, and putting their talents to work usefully through their many promotional club activi- ties. These students were getting better acquainted with each other, acquiring new interests, and keeping away from trouble. Our G.A.A. helped everyone start the Christmas season in ioyous spirits by giving us our Christmas formal. The Sadie Hawkins Dance, sponsored by F.H.A., brought to us an evening filled with laughter and enjoyment. The nationally known Teen-Age Board had as its president in Canton, Tom Murphy, a senior at Perry. Our own Senior Class President, Bruce Miller, was selected as November's Teen-Ager ot the Month. Helping the Tennessee mountain regions, the Tri- Hi-Y was successful in putting on a clothing drive.

LIFE AT WAS EXCITING IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS Life in sports at Perry High consisted of moments of iubilant happiness and moments of disappointment. The power- ful football team of Syracuse University came to national prominence because of their strong defense and highly mecha- nized offense. The Panther football team, although having a losing season, dis- played at times the spirit and fight of a championship team. Basketball at Perry was a success since the team had an exciting season. Al- though the team didn't repeat the per- formance of the i958-59 team, which won the class AA league championship, they played very well under their new coach Don Cable. Life in baseball and track at Perry was of the climatic nature as the winning of the world championship by the Los An- geles Dodgers. The baseball team had a fair season coming from behind to win some games. The track team competing against some fine teams had a poor sea- son in dual competition, but in the county meet the cindermen did better than ex- pected, picking up a few first places.
