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.

UndercldSSnen ▲ Seniors express themselves better than ever. « SIKE! 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

Juniors Trying For ... 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.
