Pep Rallies, Victory Highlight Perk Week For one week during a seem- ingly endless 36, the rules on Pearl River ' s ca mpus are virtually forgotten and all hell breaks loose. Night-long pep rallies and parties in dormitories, drenchmg water balloon fights, and parades on and off campus highlighted Perk Week 1973. The annual event of week-long activities preceding the game against arch-rival Perkinston is as much a part of Pearl River as classes or athletics. Students take an extra interest in the classic bat- tle as a previously dormant spirit transforms into enthusiastic sup- port. The administration dampened spirit somewhat this year by scheduling 4 ' : week test during Perk Week. But students found a way around studying and partici- pated wholeheartedly in the affair. A 10-3 victory over the Bulldogs made the week of sleep- lessness and failing tests worth- while.
