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?
