adam UZQ44 Jzdaw 7th Grade Golly, aren't seniors big? We twenty little Chamthamites who came trooping to Perry that cold day in February, 1947 found quite a difference from what we were used to. Mrs. Russell became our first report teacher, and through her guidance we got our high school career off to a .good start. 8th Grade Aw Mrs. Russell, not more math cards? Slowly but surely our class was growing. We were taking an active part in Perry's activities now, and did we yell at those football games! 9th Grade But if its a dead language, why bother? Freshmen at last! New friends joined us from McNaugher and Clayton. We now chose our own subjects and were at long last permitted to join Milroy. Due to our size, we had to be divided into two home rooms. Half of us went to 203 and the other half to 319. 10th Grade He was kidding about a week of tests, wasn't he? On the move again. This time the Chem. Lab. and 311 became our domain. What fun we had this year! The fellows went out for the team, and the girls tried out for majorettes and cheerleaders. Our class was dwindling in size but not in spirit. We came through biology with flying colors - well, anyway we came through. 11th Grade If only Macbeth had died at the beginning of the play- The civil war raged again. The Yankees from 311 and the Johnnie Rebs from 106 brought it back to life, all in fun of course. When football came around this year, our class was well represented on the team. The same was true of basketball and swimming. Chemistry class was always full of surprises. This year we got ou-r taste of 1000 word themes, Shakespeare, and hydrogen sulfide. 12th Grade Honest Miss Lyons, I gave you the absentee slip. For the first time since 8th grade our class was all together. Twentyfnine under the guidance of Miss Lyons, started off on the last year of high school. The Senior Play Growing Pains came and went. Five from our class participated. Every' one waited impatiently for the prom, then suddenly that, too, was over- But Edgewood Country Club and Tommy Carlyn's music remain in our memories. The semester changed. Stewart Sell became president of the school and jim Grivas, president of the class. Pictures were exchanged with the usual ohs and ahs . Class day preparations began with great care and secrecy. All too soon we found our' selves in the midst of commencement arrangements, and everyone in the class had the same question on his mind, Why does time fly so fast?

MMG gldidf Alas, when the roll is called in P. H. S. next fall the class of '53 will be among the missing. We leave Perry a little sad at heart and will always look back with fond memories We are justly proud of our record and point with pride to a few of our achievements. But first take note of our capable sponsors, Miss Anna Traubert and Mr. Chester Ironsg and next, our class officers, who were elected by this class after deep thought and consideration. The president is Dale Claving vicefpresident, Warne White, secretary, Madeline Azzarellog and treasf urer, Bernice Baynes. Among the outstanding people in our class are Ted Rohm, who has been president of the Biology Club for the past four semesters, Carole Colebob, who is editor of the Perryscopeg Don Mc' Bride, who is editor of the Yearbook, and Charlie Heard, who has been the pianist for the Orchestra, A Capella Choir, and most of the groups who needed an accompanist. Although there are others to fill the places of the '53 graduates, sports at Perry will suffer a heavy loss. Wziriie White broke the swimming record in the 200 yard freestyle. The time, which was formerly 2.12, is now 2.10. Don Wocndrtuw added to the glory of Perry by finishing third in SCHOOL OFFICERS Dave Norris - Activities Mgr. Nancy Etzel - Secretary Bill Wylarid - President Ray Priest - Vice-President the City Cross Country finals and setting a Perry record by coming in eighteenth at Pcnn State. Music makers are in our midst, too. Rememf ber the Sentimentalists, and their . . . rhythm? Ted Rohm, Bill Kay, Charlie Heard, Gits Sell, and Aubrey Hall '55 made up their band and played at the Perry Fair, Milroy, and Bogi dances. Ever have your name on the bulletin board re- minding you that you had thoughtlessly dropped waste paper on the floor or had broken some other school rule? That was the work of Charlie Chan's Crew organized in '53 by the members of Senior Council so that we would have a better and cleaner school. Another achievement in '53 was the change in the point system. Now the cheerleaders get 15 points, the members of the Cafeteria Committee get 10 points, and the girls who work in the office get 15 points. This year we have kept you posted on school 'lgoings onl' through more issues of the Perryscope- We had thirteen papers this year, a new high in the number of issues published. We hope Perry will not forget us, for we will always keep her among our memories. Our Perry High dear Alma Mater thou ....
