OPENING Summer . The “Paws” That Refreshes After a year marked by transition and change, the faculty and staff was ready to take a break from the long, hot days at school and to catch the waves on some beautiful beach. During Summer the “Paws” that refreshes, many students spent the time working, but, according to an informal poll taken by the yearbook staff, most students enjoyed going to va- cation spots instead or sleeping late and taking life leisurely. Among the favorite vacation spots were Daytona Beach, Pan- ama City, Miami Beach, and Six Flags over Georgia. Several students and teach- ers ended up in summer school, and many Perry High students went with local church groups to mission trips and choir tours. Some Perry High people’s summer ex- periences were unique. While Mr. Smith was at home in Perry preparing for an- other school year, Mrs. Lee was in North Carolina serving as a counsellor at a Christian summer camp for kids. Mrs. Rose Mae Smith took another one of her fabulous trips to France — next summer she promises to take some of us — , while Jennifer Nelson traveled to Wash- ington, D.C. with the Future Business Leaders of America and visited Congress- man Richard Ray. During the summer Johnny Clark was among 19 outstanding high school stu- dents from around the Southeast to at- tend the Minority Introduction to Engi- neering (MITE) program at Auburn University, and Randy Hudson represent- ed the Perry FFA Chapter at the Ameri- can Institute of Cooperatives in Knox- ville, Tennessee, at the University of Tennessee. The trip was sponsored by Gold Kist Corporation. The Summer of 1986 went down in the history books as the driest on record. Extremely high temperatures and no rain left the landscape parched, but for most Perry High students and teachers the summer was “the ‘Paws’ that refreshes. ” Dennis and Donna Hooper leave for the honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper’s colorful mode of transporta- tion creates quite a stir in Perry. For at least one Perry High Schooler, the summer of 1986 was a life changing one. Donna Arrington, popular choral teacher at the school, celebrated the fourth of July with the traditional picnic and fireworks. What was different about this particular 4th of July was she changed her name from Miss to Mrs. and from Arrington to Hooper. The wedding ceremony in her mar- riage to Dennis Hooper was surely one of the most unique in Perry history. The wedding took place in the beautiful out- door setting of Hardy park. After the couple exchanged personal vows to each other, planted a tree in honor of their love to each other and in appreciation to the Hardy family for use of the park, and greeted guests, they took off in a giant hot air balloon for a trip ever Perry to Perry High School where they disembark- ed safe and sound. Who will catch the bouquet? Catch The Wave . . . Billy Brewer skates into the Eighties. A “Somewhere in the Eighties” activity for many Perry High students is a visit to a local drive through. Here John Gaines stops to order at Burger King. Working Together! Lifeguard Tracy Willard and Chris- ty Young catch some rays at a local swimming pool. Senior class president Phillip Thompson spends the summer life- guarding with you know who! (Tra- cy Willard, of course) 4 Somewhere In The Eighties Skateboarding “Somewhere in the Eighties” several Perry High School stu- dents spent the summer perfect- ing their skateboarding skills. One of the local skateboard en- thusiast is Billy Brewer. “It’s a challenge, and there’s no limit to what you can do — there’s al- ways something else, something more difficult and challenging for you to undertake,” he said in a Houston Home Journal interview. It definitely is a challenge, but local skateboarders insist that the new craze is no more dan- gerous than many other accept- able hobbies, and it does, at least, give teenagers in Perry something to do. They see skateboarding as a natural high, an alternative to drug use, and a goal-oriented hobby which teaches competitive skills neces- sary for later success in life. The city fathers, however, dis- agree. A law was passed in 1986 by the City Council making skateboarding on city sidewalks illegal. The city leaders cited safety as the reason for the law. Nevertheless, the local skat- ers were able to continue their “aerials, bean plants, rock-n- rolls, Japan airs, and Mctwists” on private property. The locals hope to perfect their skills in or- der to compete in tournaments in other states. They disagree with the city law but insist they will abide by the City Council’s wishes and do their skateboard- ing in private locations. Kurt Woods spends the summer practic- ing with Mr. Wolfe’s band. Eric Matlock takes a break from Summer School. The summer session, in the air- conditioned Vocational Building, allowed students to get ahead or to make-up work. Mr. Loudermilk was the summer school principal. 5 The Real Thing Flag Girls ’86: Pam Jones, Carla Cainion, Tasha Willis, Lillian Alford.

The 1987 yearbook looks at life — the real thing — at Perry High and in the outside world. From getting Mrs. Smith’s French verb box in order, cramming for Mrs. Lee’s AP test, or doing Mr. Thompson’s trig problems, to leaving at 3:15 to go to work at “The Pig,” to practice cheerleading, or to do homework, Perry High students are shak- en out of dreams and fantasies and brought back to the real world. We face a world with increasing crime rates and widespread famine, terrorism and prejudice. Yet ours is a world full of hope and full of people who really care. We have said to our generation, “We are the World!”, and we have reached “Hands across America.” We have responded to the destruction in Mexico and have helped to rebuild The Lady at home. We have seen the problems, but have not forgotten we are part of the solution. We remember that we have each other to walk with to the future. Friends help us smile at our past, face the real thing in the present, and believe in the future. Top: Tony Hudson. Matt Morgan, Bill Gottschalk, and Lee Blum watch the girls go by.

The students made their de- cision based on his contributions to the school and student body and his assets as a teacher. He is a strong teacher and wonderful example who is greatly concerned with students and their learning abilities. Coach Kinchen is a life-long resident of Houston County, Elko, Georgia, where he is actively in- volved in church activities. He is a member and deacon of Spring Creek Baptist Church. With a standing ovation from students and teachers at last spring’s Honors Day ceremonies, he was announced as “Teacher of the Year” by the administration and faculty. Noted by all as one of Perry High’s very best teachers, Kinchen teach- es math at the school and has coached every sport except baseball and tennis. We would like to thank Coach Kinchen for ev- erything he has done for Perry High School. He holds tremendous respect from the faculty and love and appreciation from the students. His hard work and dedication will always be remembered. Thanks for everything, Coach “K”! Upper right: Coach James Kinchen follows In the tradition of Perry High’s coaching greats.

Panther Paw Awards In Appreciation The Kirkpatricks The Perryscope staff would like to say a special “thanks” to Henry Kirkpatrick and his father. Bob. They both have done a great deal for Perry High School. During the 1985-86 school year, Bob Kirkpatrick painted and constructed our Panther Pit sign that leads towards the school. Last spring, Henry helped the junior class with preparations for prom props. He painted the clown that wel- comed everyone at the door. The Kirkpatricks have continued to contribute to the school this year. At the beginning of the football season, Henry painted the panther head on the front doorsteps, and his dad painted the new sign for the concession stand. Their help is greatly appreciated by the faculty and students of Perry High School. The Perry Future Farmers Of America (1937-1987) Through the years few organizations have done as much for the school and community as the Perry Future Farmers of America. This year marks the Perry FFA’s 50th birthday, and the yearbook staff would like to say thanks for all the contributions this organization has made. The Future Farmers of America’s mot- to, “Learning to Do; Doing to Learn; Earning to Live; and Living to Serve,” stands true of the local chapter. This year the chapter has installed 50 new green- hands, 40 Chapter Farmers, and 10 State Farmers. The members have particiapted in Seed, Tree, Shrub Identification Contest; Parliamentary Procedure; For- estry Field Day; Landjudging; Livestock Shows; Public Speaking; and many more contests. These contests require special skills. These skills are taught to FFA members and become beneficial tools for many jobs and careers in later life. Through the years, the Perry FFA Chapter has had several advisors who put forth much support and effort to maintain tat ncHiationall recognizec haptei Cohen Walker got the ball rolling fifty years ago when he organized the first Perry FFA Chapter. Other later advisors were E.H. Cheek, Henry Casey, Adele Ware, Hervia Ingram, Roy Peterson, Bill Eaves, and Jake Redmon. At the present time, Argene Claxton and Tim Lewis are the advisors of the FFA and Mick O’Toole advises the older branch of the organization, the Young Farmers. They do an outstanding job with the students and continue to bring state and national recognition to Perry High School. In recent years, the chapter has made an annual trip to the Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie where members are introduced to many new agricultural products and machines. They also take a significant part in Perry’s Farm-City Day. The chap- ter is yearly represented at the State FFA Rally in Macon and at the National Con- vention in Kansas City, Missouri, and has sent a representative to the annual Insti- tute of American Cooperatives meeting at a major university in America. Recent projects of the Perry FFA have I Believe In The Future Of Farming been landscaping the school and Board of Education office, restoring parts of Ever- green Cemetery, and painting city road signs. The chapter has its own forestry plot south of Perry and runs a horticultur- al wholesale business. Members are look- ing at the possibility of opening a canning plant at the school and have other long range goals for the improvement of the school and community. This year’s FFA officers have done a fantastic job of holding meetings and helping with community and school events. The 1986-87 officers are Wayne Parker, president; Steve Dennard, vice president; Jennifer Nelson, secretary; Tracy Ford, treasurer; Mike Davis, re- porter; Marcus Hill, parliamentarian; and Chad Wicker, chaplain. The Perry FFA Chapter is an admira- ble organization that offers something for everyone. On their fiftieth birthday, we wish them many more successful years in the future.

Lower Right: Bobby Chaney sits out the pep rally because of a football injury. Perry High started the year off hoping its oppo- nents would be swept by the wave of Perry ath- letes. Earlier in the year the Panthers had an out- door pep rally to fire up the football team and student body for the game with Northside. The pep rally will be remembered because the Panther Paws were painted on the roads leading to the Panther Pit and because of Coach Ray’s emotional speech permanently retired 52, the jersey of popular Perry athlete Wayne Norwood. Norwood, along with his cousin Travis Dean, was tragically killed in an automobile accident just hours before his 1986 graduation ceremony. His jersey will be put in a special place of honor at the school. Corey Norwood accepts Wayne Norwood’s jersey from Coach Ray and game captains Matt Forehand and Eric Adkinson.

On this adventure at Perry High School we have learned from Mr. Claxton that learning can be fun, from Mr. K that learning can be tasty, from Mr. Culpepper that learn- ing pays, and from Mrs. Pope that learn- ing is the American way. Each day we mix and mingle with a faculty of excellence. We learn and are touched on our adventure by the gentle- ness of Mrs. McCoy, the spirit of Mrs. Gresham, the wit of Mrs. Richard, and the quiet strength of Mr. Loudermilk. We are impressed by the artistic ability of Mrs. Ross, the green thumb of Mr. Lewis, and the woodworking genius of Mr. Murphy. Here at Perry High School we have had an adventure dissecting frogs for Mrs. Pierce, speaking our first foreign words ever for Mrs. Smith, singing for Mrs. Hooper, finally understanding sym- bolism from Mrs. Lee, and working our first trig problems for Mr. Thompson. Striving always to be better than ever, the Perry High School faculty has caught the wave of a new beginning and given the students an adventure in learning which will be a memory for the rest of our lives.

Barton Air Force Outstanding Instructor of the Year After retiring from the Air Force with 22 years of active duty, Chief Master Sergeant Johnny Barton joined the Perry High School faculty in 1979. For four times during the last seven years, he has been chosen by the Air Force as an Outstanding Instructor of the Year. This year only 3 instructors in Georgia are recipients of the award, and only 10% of the ROTC instructors nation- wide receive this honor. Barton has been a workhorse at Perry High School. Not only does he teach leader- ship and management skills, he also spends the afternoons after school drilling the troops. He serves as the football announcer for all of Perry High’s home games and is a frequent contributor to local newspapers which publicize Perry High School. He is an excellent counsellor and a good friend to Perry High students. Largely because of his leadership during the past several years, the ROTC program at Perry High School has been recognized as one of the best in this area. Barton is one example of the excellent faculty at Perry High School. 13 Seniors Are . . . The Real Thing “The last year — we are finally at the top of the step ladder.” “They expect us to know everything now — do you know that?” “But don’t we anyway?” “There is so much to do and so little time to do it.” “But think — after this year there’ll be no more teachers to boss us around and no more being hassled by unreasonable parents.” “Yeah, great! We get to move out and pay our own way, while we still know everything.” “Very cute! Say, when we were fresh- men, did we look that funny?” “I don’t think so — “Hey! I just realized something. We may be at the top of the step ladder, but I forgot the paint!” Top: Warren Offenburg and Greg Waid assist Mr. Mur- phy. Saleha Crawford shows pressures of AP. Year- book Staff, and Senior Class.

The Real Thing “We have only one full year of school left.” “Yes, we are juniors, and without us there would be no seniors of ’88.” “And with our experience, we are able to think of excuses when roaming the halls, or we know the teachers well enough to get away with anything.” “Here we are now skipping class and putting up these posters for our club.” “Yes, but that’s what keeps us going — all the spazmodian clubs we belong to.” “Hey! Look out! Here comes you know who!” “Yik! Quick — You pretend you are sick, and I am going to the bathroom with you to make sure you don’t faint and fall on the floor.” Top Left: Jock Roundtree, the Panther’s manager, en- Top Right: Angie Rowland.

Did we ever act like that?” “No, I sure don’t remember us being that crazy and goofy!” “Still, the seniors treat us like we are little kids.” “They are just jealous because we beat them in tug-of-war and give them trouble in the spirit stick contest. After all, ’89 is so fine!” “Here comes a senior now.” “Yeah — let’s get out of here.” Coach Blount goes over game strategy with sophomores Pat- rick Felder, Paul Spears, and Randy Moss. Susan Walston shows whose team she is supporting, a Upper Middle: Sophomores prove they are number one in Homecoming Week tug-of-war competition between classes. ► Lower Middle: Mrs. Gresham urges sophomores on in spirit � stick contest. 16 Where There’s A Wave “Oh, Wow! I don’t believe it! We’re finally in high school.” “Well, I’m going to join all the best clubs and go out for the best activities.” “Don’t you dare carry that map around. Do you want everyone to know we’re freshmen?” “But all the people here look so nice.” “Look, here comes a senior. Be cool!” “Hey, little freshman, get your rear end out of the way.” “Yes, Sir! Boy, are seniors mean! It’s only the first day of school, and I already hate seniors and most juniors.” “Only the first day — you mean we gotta come back!?!” ◄ Greg Chastain.

Each poster had a certain catchy message in hopes of a vote from a classmate. This year’s Student Council sponsored the class elections, and when the elections took place, there was much excitement in the air, especially among those running for of- fice. They all had high hopes of be- coming a class officer, and, in particu- lar, the Senior class officers. After the long-awaited tallying of the votes, these results were posted: Phillip Thompson; President, Kirkland Smith; Vice President, Melanie Huff; Secre- tary, and Deidra Collins, Treasurer. 18 Larzania Adkison Lillian Alford Ladonna Allen Dan Arledge Cynthia Askew Wendy Askew Tammie Bass Marty Beaman Deran Blue Scott Brantley Barnard Bryant Paris Cherer Seniors — Catch The Wave!

Enjoy Fall Activities The Class of 1987 enjoyed showing their spirit during Fall Quarter. The pep rallies, Homecoming, the Army Air Reserve concert, the Air Force Reserve Generation, all the club activities, WPGA radio programs, Sunbelt Expo trip, the ASPAB test, and other activities were entertwined in the normal everyday of attending classes, taking tests, and doing homework.

Carina is staying with Anita and Michael Fisher and their children Kathy and John. Carina is in the second year of college in Sweden and is studying the nature sciences. She enjoys horseback riding, dancing, running, listening to music, shopping, and playing basketball. She is playing basketball with the Pantherettes during her stay at PHS. Carina’s favor- ite sports in Sweden are football (soccer), basketball, and ice hockey. Carina stated in her interview that “the cultures are more or less the same”, although there are a few differences. Sweden has a more open society. A lot of friends go to parties together, and the Swedish guys are politer. There is a feeling of safety in Swe- den which is not present in the U.S. Teens can stay out all night with no problem. It is very expensive to learn to drive in Sweden. A person must be 18 to drive. Sweden has a faster pace in styles and music. Swedish teachers are specialized in their fields of teaching, like U.S. professors are. Students stay in the same class for the entire day, and school hours vary from one day to the next. The government pays the parents for their children to go to school. Carina will be missed next year by her new family and friends when she returns to Sweden. 36 Autographs Class Of 1987 We’ve finally arrived our senior year the Class of 1987. This is our last homecoming as students at Perry High School. This is our year and our queen. Next year we will be coming back to see a new queen from the Class of 1987 crowned. We will be alumni coming home to our Alma Mater instead of home folks preparing to go away. But for now, we are the seniors, and we are the Class of ’87. We will catch the wave of a new beginning when it gets here.

This is my freshman year. To many 9th graders at Perry High School, being a freshman is the pits. All the seniors, juniors, and sophomores look down at lowly freshmen. (Don’t they remember they were once freshmen, too!) Then there are teachers and principals to contend with. “You should know that rule already, but, after all, you are just a freshman.” Is it some kind of disease? To many 9th graders, the word freshman means being made fun of at pep rallies, becoming acquainted with Mrs. Smith’s infamous verb box, getting lost between classes, losing textbooks and lunch tickets, bearing the brunt of freshman jokes, and being considered the baby panthers. Nevertheless, who would want to trade it for all the world with middle school or junior high?

(Phil) Smith celebrated his 40th birthday. Members of the faculty and staff secretly decorated his of- fice in black and ordered a cake to celebrate his entrance into old age. This playful celebration is just one example of the friendship the faculty and staff have shared with Mr. Smith this year. It is very apparent that the faculty, students, and staff have much love and appreciation for their principal. Mr. Smith, a native of Albany, Georgia, grew-up on a farm. His brother and sister were so much older that he basically grew-up as an only child. He worked and paid his own way through Georgia Southwestern and Georgia Southern Colleges and entered the field of education in 1968. Mr. Smith taught in Albany at Dougherty High School for four years. Then he went to Sasebo, Japan, and taught for two years in the military dependents school. This he called “one of the most rewarding experiences’’ of his life. In 1975 Mr. Smith came to Perry to be assistant principal at Perry Junior High. He soon was pro- moted to principal of Shirley Hills Elementary in Warner Robins. He served there from 1977 to 1985. In 1985 he was named principal of Perry High. Perry High School means a great deal to Mr. Smith. He says that PHS is his identity in the community. Since 1985 he has worked hard and enthusiastically to improve the school and to im- prove its image in the community. There is a new pride, a new dignity, a new respect at Perry High School largely because of the excellent leadership Mr. Smith has provided. As principal of Perry High School, Mr. Smith is not only the number one boss at the school, he is also the chief spokesman for the school to the community and to the Houston County Board of Education. Here he confers with Superintendent Mat- thew Arthur. Assistant Administrators Assistant Principal Bill Loudermilk For 14 years, Bill Loudermilk was the industrial arts teacher at Perry High School. In 1986 he was named to the position of assistant principal under Prin- cipal Phil Smith. In this position Mr. Lou- dermilk must work closely with adminis- trators, students, faculty, and parents. He is in charge of discipline, school atten- dance, and physical plant upkeep, to name only a few of his many and varied responsibilities. Mr. Loudermilk is highly regarded by all the groups with whom he works. He is known to be a man of strong Christian faith, high moral principals, fairness, friendliness, and approachability. Mr. Loudermilk and his wife Ellie have 3 children — Jason, Sherri, and David. They live in the country right outside Per- ry in a beautiful home they have restored. Vocational Supervisor Angie Wilson Angie Wilson holds the position of Vo- cational Supervisor. Mrs. Wilson is the first female administrator and first voca- tional supervisor at Perry High School. Her position makes her a kind of assistant principal. She has done an outstanding job and brought much recognition to the vocational program at PHS. Mrs. Wilson is the mother of a son, Craig. Being A Teacher At PHS Is Not Just A Profession Deborah Arnold Lilli Ann Barrett CMSgt. Johnny Barton Ed Blount Jackie Bowen Ron Busbee Dave Crockett Debbie Fendley Perry High’s Showtime Showtime has, according to columnist Jackie Cooper, “musical talent to make every parent and every Perryan proud.” Alan Shaw has caught the wave. He hits been teaching in Perry for 14 years. He graduated from Manches- ter High School and received further education at Columbus College. Georgia Southwestern. Georgia Southern, and Georgia State. Coach Shaw is in charge of the VOCA and YOMEN clubs and the annual talent production. Showtime, which is put on by Perry High students for the community. Without Coach Shaw's excellent leadership, this outstanding production could not happen. 68 It’s Having An Identity!

The school was chosen as a county represen- tative for the Governor’s School of Excel- lence program. It will be entered in the state contest. The school also beat out county schools in the SAT scores re- leased Fall Quarter. Perry’s average was significantly higher on both the verbal and the mathematical portions of the test than the scores of the other Houston County high schools. Principal Phil Smith set the tone for the 1986-87 school year emphasis in a mes- sage to the students. He said, “You are an adventure in learning. As you walk down the halls of Perry High and go into various classes, you have the opportunity to learn, to participate and to be a part of a school with pride and spirit As in the past, the emphasis is being placed on academic work, and expectations are high for both you as a student and as a team member.” a Freshmen construct bread boxes in Mr. Murphy’s industrial arts classes. “This won’t hurt, you dummy!” Cynthia Fairchild seems to be saying. 74 ▲ Mark Riley has lots to choose from. Perry High has an excellent tool and equipment inventory. ◄ Students from Perry High participated in Academic Contest at Gordon Junior Col- lege in Barnesville on Thursday, Novem- ber 6th.

She is a perfectionist who de- mands excellence in the classroom and gives freely of herself to students. She stays long hours after school to help stu- dents and to prepare for the next day. Mrs. Smith has dedicated herself to pro- viding experiences to maximize the learn- ing of her students. Yearly she takes in- terested students on trips so they can hear native speakers speak the French language and so they can first-hand expe- rience French culture. Mrs. Smith gets many reactions in and out of school. Here others show many reac- tions to her in her role as Mrs. Chauvenet in the Perry Players’ production of Harvey. 75 From Computers And Digital Ovens To Agriculture and Industrial Arts L I Perry’s Vocational Education Moves Ahead The 1986-87 senior candiates for Home- coming Queen were asked the question, “If a newcomer came to Perry, what would you tell him to convince him to enroll his children at Perry High School?” The girls were asked individually before the student body and did not hear each other’s answers. Most of them said the biggest plus for Perry High School, the one thing that made it more outstanding than. other schools, was the vocational program. The vocational program at Perry High School contains the most up-to-date equip- ment available. Students learn vocational skills on Apple 2E computers, IBM typewrit- ers, Zerox memory writers, Sun engine ana- lyzers, Mig and Tig welders, and digital ov- ens and dish washers. The vocational programs offered at the school are very diversified. Transportation Lab teachers students how to be auto me- chanics, parts clerks, and small engine re- pairmen. In Metals Lab students learn sheet metal and welding skills. The Food Services program turns out short order cooks, chefs, and bakers. Computer skills are taught in Data Processing, and typing, secretarial, bookkeeping, and accounting skills may be learned in Vocational Office Training and General Business class. The Health Occupations class has a hospi- tal setting complete with beds and curtain petitions. Students can leave this program knowing general hospital procedures and having a foundation for nurse’s school or orderly and EMT training. The vocational program also has special state programs such as CVAE and DCT, which aid the stu- dent in career planning or provide on the job training, and the traditional vocational pro- grams such as vocational agriculture, indus- trial arts, and home economics. Perryans can be proud of the vocational program at Perry High School. Vocational education at the school is providing Perry students greater opportunities to enter the world of work. Another MASH?

AP also allows students to earn college credits while taking the courses. From these pictures one would think AP is all play, but AP is just the opposite. AP is a lot of hard, hard work and a difficult course of study. It requires much diligence and study. But students can have fun and work at the same time. For example, Scott Kinnas and Warren Of- fenburg combined their hobby of hunting and writ- ing. They displayed some animals which they had killed and mounted and wrote a composiiton about for Mrs. Lee. Miss Bowen’s class worked hard but enjoyed a mock debate. AP requires a lot of work but can be an enjoyable experience for the consci- entious student. Top left: Is this “Jeopardy” or what? Top right: Oh No! Not Mrs. Lee!

Some Thoughts On The Animal AP By Sharon Lee I am an AP teacher. I often wonder how others see this Advanced Placement, a course that the College Board describes as a chance for advanced high school stu- dents to “pursue college-level studies while still in secondary schools.” The cur- riculum director for our county system must surely feel that having AP courses strengthens the curriculum. My principal acknowledges that this director is surely correct, yet he must go beyond his obser- vation to dread an AP class as a “single- ton” in a small school during registration. Other students in the school probably view those students who take AP with a mixture of admiration, respect, pity, and even envy. Those of us, however, who call ourselves teachers of AP, understand that ‘it” is actually some mammoth crea- ture of unforgettable nature. This crea- ture changes each year, reflecting the spirit of the senior high school students who make up its body and soul. I’ve often wondered how some of the strangest ani- mals known to zoologists might react to meeting AP in a dark, dank forest. Can you imagine the extinct Tyrannosaurus or the indigenous sloth or the Indian Sacred Cow moving over to share the trail with AP? Each day second period I watch this AP animal clamor its way into my room, falling all over its huge, ugly feet (It wouldn’t dare wear sandles, it says). It immediately begins looking for food. If I haven’t brought doughnuts that day (its favorite), I may find it laughing hideously as it talks about toads spawning (thank- you, George Orwell, for “Some Thoughts on the Common Toad”), or about “Lurch,” the Homecoming date of the century. Whatever the case, this animal AP is always in high spirits and may even dance a round or two of the newest dance, the “Rubric.” Who could guess that its basic cultural heritage includes knowledge of “Sam I Am” who eats “green eggs and ham”? Now, AP is truly an average teenager because it has “zits,” does outrageous things, likes to goof off, vasillates about what it wants to do in life, occasionally acts like everyone else, hates homework, and likes loud music. It is not a typical teenager because it sometimes listens to its parents (wonder what THEY look like?), has many responsibilities at home, likes a variety of loud music, spends a good deal of time in church, doesn’t drink or use drugs or smoke (Let’s pray it is telling the truth), likes to read, and likes to do things by itself. It compares itself with a number of people, depending, I guess, upon the mood it is in. Its names are not parent-given but are the names it chooses for itself. In its Steven personal- ity, it is “that dude on ‘Moonlighting,’” yet it also has a “Greek god” side. John sees himself as Ernest Hemingway. Brett is a baseball fan. Einstein is an inventor and reader. Curtis, we might watch out for: He thinks of himself as “Mr. Smooth.” In its feminine nature, Lei likes reading good horror stories, leaving Jessi- ca with the self-image of “a short ca- ke”and Jena calling itself “an explosion of fire.” Its favorite habitat changes with its pro- file: the basketball court and gym, the journalism classroom, homeroom, the back hall, a bench in the front lobby at break, the transportation lab, the lunch- room (of course, where it’s eating green eggs and ham), the library, the AP class- room, or the industrial arts lab. It likes hunting, spending time with its friends, sleeping, talking on the telephone, play- ing football, watching T.V. and doing nothing. AP can be a serious animal, too. It’s typically had a foreign language, is often taking another AP course, has taken the SAT (frequently twice), actually studies for tests, is a member of the National Honor Society, is president of the student council, is on the homecoming court, cheers, plays football-basketball-baseball, writes for the newspaper, creates the an- nual, marches with the ROTC, and is ap- plying to one of the academies. In a re- cent poll, I found that all AP personalities, whether Casey, Arovia, Bri- tanny, John or Chris, concentrate most seriously during a test or during the com- posing of a composition. Now, all of this deep thought gives the AP creature’s eyes tell-tale signs. In these eyes, other than the usual sleepiness, you might find delirium, “red and tar pits,” or just a “black hole.” Too much seriousness does make AP a dull creature; that’s why ex- pressions like, “Do the Rubric” or “Sho Hate It!” or “Tufu” or “You Be Illing” or “Heck Yea!” or “You Spaz!” add a touch of the lighter side. I once quizzed AP about what the walls of my room might hear if it had ears. I will never believe that a teenager as nice as this one uses expletives to describe my own homework assignments, or even worse, that he makes “stupid cracks” about me when I cannot hear them in class. But wait! Not one side of its person- ality, not Jessica or Einstein or Curtis, has found AP class anything other than “a trip.” The worst mistake, it observes, has been taking this AP teacher: “Now, it continues, “I can’t stop taking her be- cause she has driven me crazy, too!” Finally, then, we are back to the origi- nal question: Can you imagine meeting this “crazy” AP animal on a path in the forest of life? College Board has its con- ception of AP; the principal, watching, makes his observations; teachers and oth- er students in the school have their views, yet none of us can ever really give shape to our ever-changing AP creature. I watch it grow for a year, suffer with it in its mistakes, slap it in congratulations over its triumps, and cry as I feel it break free. Move over, we’d better, for AP is blazing its way into the future. One Act Play Cast Perry High School Participated in the One Act Play Competition held on Tuesday, December 2nd, at Georgia Southwestern in Americus. The title of this year’s selection was “Of Poems, Youth and Spring’’ by John Logan. The two lead- ing characters were portrayed by Kelli Yaneris, a PHS senior, and Michael Sargent, a PHS sopho- more.

Two important parts of student life at Perry High School are lunchtime and af- ter school detention. According to Mrs. Cason, PHS’s lunchroom manager, ap- proximately 475 people go through the lunch line each school day. The menu is planned by all the managers from all the schools in Houston County and at Perry High always includes a fresh salad bar. After school detention in the library is not quite as popular as school lunchtime. It is assigned to students as a punishment for a variety of offenses. For most, it is a much more desirable option than going to Pearl Stephens, the county’s alternative school in Warner Robins. Mrs. Arnold keeps detention. She sees the job as simi- lar to that of a baby sitter, but, since she is new at PHS this year, she does like the opportunity of getting to know who’s who among the students. 83 Lee Witherington says, “Follow me!

It’s a time when a lot of joy and happiness fills the air. All week long we have contests, dress-up days, class competitions, and lots and lots of smiles. Everyone votes for who they want to be a representative of their school. This event is announced at the ballgame the night of home- coming. All the girls, or representatives, walk out on the field with their father and are accompanied by the band. Every girl is smiling, knowing that she has people that like her so much to be their class representative. The senior girls are very nervous, not knowing who got the 1986-87 queen. Then finally it is announced. She hugs her father and looks out at all the friends she has.

The staff of Coaches Ray Maddox, Melvin Sweat, James Kinchen, and Jim Soles was joined by Ron Busbee, Ed Blount, and Cynthia Lewis. They follow in the tradition of outstanding men and women teaching at Perry High School young people not only the fundamentals of sports but the value of good sports- manship, clean competition, and discipline. This year a major concern of the coaching staff, as well as all extracurricu- lar teacher sponsors, was the “no pass, no play” proposal being studied by the Georgia legislature. If this proposal be- comes law, any student who fails any sub- ject would be disqualified from participat- ing in any extracurricular school activity. Currently, athletes, under more stringent regulations than other students, cannot fail over one class and participate in sports. “No pass, no play” would disqual- ify even more athletes. At a public meet- ing of the Houston County Board of Edu- cation in the Perry library in September 1986, the “no pass, no play” proposal was discussed and overwhelmingly op- posed by those teachers and parents in attendance. On a brighter note, the 1986-87 school year brought much improvement to Per- ry High’s football stadium, The Panther Pit. Not only were permanent, aluminum stands added to the visitor’s side, but also the field was beautifully manicured by Houston County Board of Education Grounds Supervisor Stanley Gray. In ad- dition, for the first time the new baseball field was available for football practice and scrimmages. The Panther Pit looks beautiful thanks to Stanley Coach Blount at his best Gray. 1986 Schedule Perry Visitors 19 Dooly County 0 7 Northside 15 14 Tri-County 27 18 Worthy County 40 0 Peach County 10 34 Crisp County 6 6 Dublin 34 6 Americus 29 13 Jones County 7 6 Dodge County 13 TOP: Coaches Mike Rowland, Ed Blount, James Kinchen, Ray Maddox (head coach), Melvin Sweat, Ron Busbee, and Jim Soles.

We will miss the exciting play of the 1986-87 seniors but we look forward to a great year next year. We want a touchdown! A Time to go home Bill Bailey! Coach Rowland gives last minute instruc- tions to Adrian Green. ► 122 ▲ Captains Victor Mizell and Kirkland Smith Senior Panther Quinn Lumpkin watches from the sidelines.

As Co-captain Terri Lane stated, “You have to set goals for yourself to reach as in any other sport.” The PHS Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerlead- ers attended camp at Clemson University on Au- gust 3rd through August 6th. Before the sun rose on Sunday morning August 3rd, 1986, fifteen bub- bly girls and Miss Rogers loaded a Board of Educa- tion van and headed off for four days of exercising and cheers. Their schedule included getting up at 5:30 every morning, eating breakfast, and then attending cheer sessions. These sessions included cheer aerobics and cheer class. At night they had partner stunts and evaluations. They won 2 spirit sticks, and they were nominated for the Award of Excellence. The captain of the varsity cheerleaders is Mi- chelle Izzo. The co-captain is Terri Lane. The sponsors for the varsity cheerleaders are Miss Rogers, who took the job even though she “didn’t know anything about it,” and Miss Handley. The Junior Varsity captain is Jennifer Warren, and the co-captain is Keela Whitest. Miss Spencer is the sponsor. Sophomores rock-n-roll! 124 Bottom to top, left to right: Ginger Kinnas, Tracy Hudson, Jenny Ward, Terri Lane, Lynn Baumli, Joby Collins, Michelle Izzo, Amy Mizell, Shannon Shelton 125 Front to back: Jennifer Warren, Patrice Davis, Keela Whitest, Shannon Tallent, Roxanne Brown Pantherette Softball Upper right: Kim Moslett is safe at first!

Pantherettes Girls Basketball 128 The Pantherettes had a rebuilding year with no seniors and no starters from last year on the team. According to Coach James Kinchen, “Inexperience is definitely our biggest weakness. We’re not a real good ball club right now, not because we lack the talent, but because we lack the experience.” A bright spot in the year was the discov- ery of freshman center Pam Scott who aver- aged about 20 points a game. With players like Scott, Christa Hartman, Tamela Bright- man, and Angela Ezell, the future of the team looks good. Above: (L to R) Christa Hartman, Angela Ezell, Con- suelo McKenzie.

(Action shots courtesy of The Houston Home Journal) Panther Boys Basketball 4 130 Perry has always been a basketball town and has continued that tradition un- der the outstanding coaching of Coach Melvin Sweat. His boys teams had many bad breaks this year — little time to pre- pare because of football season, opening games away from home, and gym resur- facing problems — but continued the winning ways of Perry basketball. Even the games the team did lose were lost by only a point or two in most cases. Above:(Seated L to R) Cedric Peavy, Kirkland Smith. Jimmy Thomas.

Box 1316 Perry, Georgia 31069 “You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian. For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them and thoroughly bad. They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good. They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God. They will go to church, yes, but they won’t really believe anything they hear. Don’t be taken in by people like that.” II Timothy 3:1-5 Living Bible 162 Closing “Perry Classic — Maroon, Gold, Us!” As we see the closing of another school year, we can also recall all the “good times, good friends, bad days, and bad classes” of 1986-87. From the very first day of school, we can cherish the memories from quarter to quarter. The Freshmen class will remember their first days of high school and those wild pep rallies; while the sophomores will remem- ber becoming a bigger part of the school and getting more involved with school activities. The Junior class can cherish those days of selling “Liberty” chocolates to raise money for the prom, and the Seniors, well they will remember everything about their graduating year! Each day our school reaches improvements — ranging from small ones to larger ones. They all make an incredible difference, whether it be a new teacher added to the staff or a minor adjustment to the surroundings of our school. Never-the-less, they all help in improving the quality of our education. However, with several changes we have strived even harder for good grades. With this year being the first year for a different grading system, we all had to shoot for that “70”! This year was also the last year of being on a quarter system, the second year of receiving first place for the Houston Co. Fair display, and the year that our school was surround- ed by Panther Paws! As for the Perryscope Staff and the production of “Catch The Wave,” we’ll remember the long hours of hardwork, those last-minute layouts to meet an upcoming deadline, and selling that one last ad. We owe thanks to many people and without their help, we would not have “caught the wave.” We would like to thank Mr. Ken Renz of the Fort Valley Coca- Cola Bottling Company, Mr. Mickey Lay and Mr. Dan Foy, our Olan Mills School photographers. The Houston Home Journal and Bridget Griffin, Mr. Dave Zeigler, our Josten’s Yearbook representa- tive, Mr. Charlie Walker, our yearbook sponsor and advisor, and most of all, the businesses who bought ads and helped in the production of the 1986-87 Perryscope. We hope that this annual will bring back those memories of “Catching The Wave” in ’87. Stephanie Pope, Editor Above: Class of ’87 was known for “dogging the house” at Friday pep rallies.
