LI AT PERRY HIGH . . . REVOLVED ARCUND THE STUDENTS In September Perry opened her doors to students, and like a smooth running ma- chine another year began. ln other parts of the country that machine needed overhauling. Little Rock schools were closed and many stu- dents were deprived of education with a few more fortunate students attending private schools. Dick Clark was still the teenagers great white father and locally, teen centers and high schools held dances weekly for rock and rollers. Interest and concern increased for the mounting delinquency problems and an at- tempt to set up a national code ot ethics was on the planning board. Locally one step further was accomplished with the issuance of a book of ethics to all high school students in this area. Junior Achievement groups more than doubled in this nation of ours, while over- seas the very struggle for existence con- tinued. Rumblings of revolt and uprising in South America and Africa were heard from the people of these lands, thirsty for the taste of self-government and equal educational privileges. The school levy and bond issue were ap- proved assuring Perry Township of a new junior high and additions to Watson and Whipple schools. The operating levy will pro- vide the much needed money for the con- tinuance and operation of the schools. Study is the main factor to good grades, thus students used their time wisely in the quiet surroundings of the library.

LI AT PERRY HIGH . . . QNXA, mek! wAs NTQ1-s.J.s.sC,,, fuk QQ, INFLUENCED T-N N.. ...jiflf W . 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.
