Thanksgiving then slips by silently, And basketball season begins with a bounce. Christmas is the time of joy, So happy, no one notices the new year, Sneaking quickly onto the scene. St. Valentine steps in to take over February While the baseball team moves in on March. April begins the counting of days. While May leaves but two months to go. June is the last breath of our year. Some faces remain, While many do not. Our school remains steadfast, And we will always remember: AS TIME GOES BY.

MjLMsumai a Mk m tBStS Mu V qAaAMJlAAWU As the year draws to a close, the Class of ' 63 will look back with pleasure upon the events in these past four years that have filled their cup of memories to overflowing. They will often think of those who have understood, assisted, and enco uraged them; who have sacrificed so generously to prepare them to take their place among citizens in the world. Four years ago they started at Perris Union High School. During the years these students have met many new young people and have made many lasting friendships. They have worked together and have had fun together. They were the last lowly freshmen to walk the campus of Perris High, for in that year the new junior and senior high schools were built. But much to their dismay, as sophomores they were still the youngest members of the student body on campus. In these past years at Homecoming, the work and fun and long hours into the cold, cold nights spent in building their class float proved to be very rewarding when it was announced that their float had won the Sweepstakes Award. In their sophomore year, the class rings displayed a new and dif- ferent crest. For the first time in several years, the Sophomores were able to proudly wear their rings through both junior and senior years. In their junior year, there was quite a heated discussion and almost violent argument when it came time to choose their class colors, green and white. The planning and work put into their bench in the Senior Court was topped off by the signing of each and every member of the class who wished to have their name on the campus of Perris High for all time. We will always remember and cherish these moments. To you, the Senior Class, we dedicate the El Perrisito of 1963. - CH fSTAT£ fAUQfc lity of Perris ■g grawfg yjmft fflWKUgP -—•• «•— K .

In his regular duties, as Dis- trict Superintendent, he must dele- gate responsibility to various per- sonnel that are required to operate w school. It is necessary that he sup- ervise and coordinate their actions. Along with his other duties, Mr. White has graciously assisted this year ' s El Perrisito staff with his photographic skill. Mr. White has been a fine profes- sional leader and coordinator this year as in all of his past years. Everyone connected with our school system joins in the commendation and admiration of Burdette E. White, our District Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Sims, our Principal, has also been kept very busy this year at Perris High. Coach, as he is affectionately referred to around campus, has been active and helpful in working with the school ' s student leaders. During the past year he has helped and guided the Student Council of 1962-63 through his morning leadership class. He accomp- lished all of this work along with his other regular duties as Principal. All of the students join in sending out their warmest re- gards to James A. Sims, Princi- pal of Perris Union High School. • «  „ - n orm-m 2m. m«l inten- i past ;Di s . dele- per- lerote isup- tions. , Mr. I this i his ofes- this ' ears. chooi ntion I tof The Board of Trustees composed of five members, sets the policies for the school.

The Juniors strived to prepare their class for the re- sponsibility and honor they received when the year was over. The time they spent to achieve that goal will long be remembered and looked back upon in the years to come. The Junior Class used new and improved ideas to make money and better their class. Through hard work and planning they gave the Seniors a magnificent Prom. The time they spent was well worth the toil and trouble put into it. 42 naramagrar ——----— ' M Boning up on Current activities?

They worked together harmoniously in choosing their class rings and in becoming organized for the class activities. In competitive activities they earned points for their class and rated high in this project. With this successful start, the Class of ' 65 will no doubt prove to be an outstanding one. mm cmvM mamsoM Don ' t you sophomores ever do any work?

The reason is that the stu- dents may only participate in one sport at a time. It seems that the tennis season comes the same time as track and baseball. lit Sui v II r God Under the supervision of Mrs. Mabee, the Girls ' Athletic Association enjoyed a very stimulating year. These snapshots were taken during the girls ' physical education classes. As you see at the left, Field Hockey, Basketball and Baseball, are being played. Volleyball seemed to be a sport for some of the girls all year around. Annually the G.A.A. Volley- ball team challenges Chino Women ' s State prison. The Perris girls have yet to win a victory but always have been good competition for the expert opponents. Among the favorite in- door sports of the P.E. girls is bad- minton. At the bottom of the page is another indoor sport, tumbling. S$W Jub Tennis and table tennis are also sports enjoyed immensely by the girls. A new sport was introduced to Perris Union High this year which is called Sacat. This game is similar to Softball but is played indoors. A very rewarding project by our Commissioner of Boys ' Athletics, Bruce Babcock, was the installation of four horseshoe pits adjacent to the tennis courts. Boys and girls alike indulge in this skillful sport. Mrs. Mabee has done a great deal as Girls ' Athletics Director to keep the Perris girls happy and active in physical education classes.

She proud- ly represented her sophomore class this year. Margaret ' s escort was Jack Huch- ting. Even though she wasn ' t the queen, Jack was honored by being her escort. II 1962 This year ' s Homecoming was the biggest success ever to be known at P.U.H.S. With Christi Hook in charge, she planned a tremendous week for the Panthers. Christi and her com- mittee based this event on Movie Themes. Immediately the classes and organizations started dreaming up ideas for floats. They wasted no time in converting paper and wire into marvelous floats. Green and white covered the campus on Color Day. The students participating wore the school colors showing their spirit. Many movie stars attended school one day this week, for there was a dress-up day in which the students dressed like their favorite movie star. Tim Stehly was the most shock- ing in his impersonation of Liz Taylor. What a beautiful boy he was! The Homecoming rally and sock hop were a great success also. Finally the big day came! The students, townspeople and alumni became enthusiastic over the parade. Homecoming night the powerful Panthers fought severely with the Elsinore Tigers. The Tigers got the edge on the Panthers and won by a small margin. During the half-time activities, the classes and organiza- tions proudly displayed their floats. The Seniors created a masterpiece, with the theme as Sayonara, this class won Sweepstakes for the fourth time in a row. This sets a new record for Perris High. The Juniors received first place for a cleverly prepared float, based on the theme of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. First in Organization was taken by the Future Farmers with their Little Abner. To conclude half-time activi- ties, Steve Beason crowned Janice Martin as Homecoming Queen. Janice ' s pretty princesses were Karen Smith and Margaret Donahoe. Topping off this memorable event was the splendid Homecoming Dance held by the Annual Staff in the school gymnasium. ( caj; Robert Gordon Ross and Monica Duden King and Queen of the Snowball. In December the G.A.A. held its annual Snowball Dance. It was held in the high school gymnasium. The dance was romantically decorated around the theme ' Twilight Christ- mas. Robert Gordon-Ross and Monica Duden were crowned as King and Queen of this memorable occasion. The dances this year were en- joyed by many students. The Get- Acquainted Dance started the year off right and was followed by record hops, disc jockeys, formal dances, and the exquisite Junior-Senior Prom. OJMAJv The Seniors sponsored the Sweet- heart Dance which was held in the high school cafeteria in February. Clever decorations carrying out the theme, A Garden of Hearts were used. Candidates for King and Queen were: Seniors, Gary AAcCall and Carol Weber; Juniors, Jesse Burton and Jan Beach; Sophomores, David Smith and Nan Shirar. Each couple had a box placed in the ad- ministration building in which votes could be dropped. Anyone wi shing to vote put money into the box and the proceeds went to the Senior Class.

The weeks and months that stretched so leisurely ahead in the fall seemed to whirl by at a frantic pace as the El Perrisito deadlines drew near. No staff ever accomplishes quite what it sets out to do, yet we hope our staff, through its efforts, has produced a commendable product, a publication of which the student body will be proud. When we look back on our high school experience, we can see many incidents: The football games, the dances, the class play and many other activities, although exciting; make some of us tend to lose sight of the very reason we are in school. We may not have gathered all we might, but we have none the less profited immensely. In saying farewell the staff would like to express its appreciation to the faculty and administration for their helpful co-operation throughout the year. We would especially like to thank Mr. White for his valuable help in photography. As the time goes by so quickly there comes a day in which all Seniors must say farewell to their high school years and look ahead to different experiences, new challenges and fresh opportunities. This day is on hand and the annual staff would like to say good-bye and good-luck to everyone, es- pecially to the youna men and women graduating this year. We sincerely hope that this annual will be treasured and remain close to your heart as a reminder of fond memories and friendship at Perris High AS TIME GOES BY. Your editor.
