BELOW: The 1987-88 Yearbook Dedi- cation Recepient Rose Mae Smith A MASTER TEACHER With Great Honor And Pleasure We Dedicate Our Yearbook To You, Mrs. Smith! Nous Vous Adorons! As many of you well know, Mrs. Smith is “no sight for sore eyes,” but she is well loved by all the students. Over the past few years Mrs. Smith has come to mean a “mega-bunch” to PHS and the Perry Community. Mrs. Smith participates in the Perry Players and is a great ac- tress as well as a good director. She is also an outstanding teach- er and leader here at PHS. Mrs. Smith is our French teach- er, and many students initially would say, “I hate her class. I don’t want to go. Not those verb boxes — Please tell me they aren’t due today!” But as stu- dents spend two or more years with her, they come to love her and to cherish the time they spend in her classes. Many of us have had a hard time adjusting to not going to Mrs. Smith’s classes once we finish French. We miss the jokes and flying erasers and the wonderful way she yells, “Jamais, jamais, ja- mais!” But Mrs. Smith will al- ways remain in my heart and in the hearts of the students who have had her.

A train? No, SUMMER VACA- TION! Had we really been out of school for three months? It felt more like three days personally. All summer long everyone is always on the go, like a tape cassette on fast forward. Isn't it amazing how real life seems to stop immediately once school begins, almost like someone hit the “PAUSE but- ton. Real life, real fun, it all has to be put on pause for nine months, or is it 15? 20? 30? Who knows? This, of course, excludes SPRING BREAK, but if summer is only three weeks long. Spring Break can't be more than one day. I think the world would be a much better place if someone would just keep their finger on that fast forward button all the time. Maybe I should push a few school books up against it; make sure it doesn't ever turn off! Scott Richards The day that time stood still I sat semi-quietly in fifth period Trigonometry. Trig is long enough when the hands of time move, but. with Father Time out of commission, it lasts forever. Someday I may repay Mr. Time the favor. Maybe next summer I’ll pull a Rip VanWinkle on ’im. Paul Bekaert Top Right: Dan Arledge and Billy Brewer enjoy a break from hot classrooms.

OPENING 5 This school year is special to me not only because it is my senior year, but also because it marks the 200th anni- versary of the United States Constitu- tion. There are only a few of us who are seniors in the class of 1988, but the Constitution is something of which each and every citizen of the United States can and should be proud. During September, our country held a nationwide birthday party for the Con- stitution, a document that secures the basic rights and freedoms for Ameri- can citizens that we so many times take for granted. President Ronald Reagan, other dignitaries, and ordi- nary people have speeches which were more than a way of getting us out oPclass. In these people’s voices, I could hear the emotion and pride which every American shared on this day. We, as Americans, should not only be proud of our country on special occa- sions such as this. We should be proud of the Constitution, the United States of America, and everything they stand for everyday of our lives. John Rowell “We the people ” We, the stu- dents of Perry High School, are the people. This year marks the 200th an- niversary of “We the people .an ideal which is embedded in the hearts of all Americans. Our Constitution has stood the test of time, lasting longer than any other constitution. When the founding fathers sat down that hot day in May, they had the best interests of “We the people ” in mind. The Constitution gives us free- doms, freedoms which make us Ameri- cans, and freedoms which give us hope for a brighter future. The Consti- tution gives us freedom to participate, freedom to teach, and freedom to learn. Happy 200th birthday “We the people . ” Tony Crockett 6 Ruth Tarpley welcomes distinguished guests to the Constitution Celebration. A group of Perry High students recited the Preamble. Scott Dorman, Stoney Pope, Tony Crockett, and Dan Connell entertain the student body with a song, and Steven White and Ketan Patel participate in the downtown activities to celebrate the birthday of the United States Constitution. SEPTEMBER 16, 1987 U.S. CONSTITUTION BICENTENNIAL The United States Constitution never really had much of an impact on me. Yes. I know it was a very important document, the back- bone of the laws we used to rule the nation. I knew what the articles were and their mean- ings. I could even recite the Preamble, thanks to Mrs. Tarpley and ninth grade citi- zenship. But I’d never had any idea of the great value and worth of the Constitution. So when asked to make a speech on the Constitution, and how it came about, I com- plied, thinking to myself, “This should be a breeze. That speech should take me all of five minutes to write.” I did a little research on the subject, just to verify my facts and make it look good. Imagine my surprise at discovering that the Constitution really was significant, so much so that our country could not have existed this long without it. Realizing the patience and dedication our founding fathers must have possessed to conceive this great document, I felt a little shame-faced at my casual attitude. The more I read, the more interested I became. On September 17, 1987, I can honestly say that I felt proud to be an American and privileged to share my newfound knowledge with my peers. I don’t know how my friends feel about the Constitution, but I do know that I have a new, deep appreciation for the document. Happy Birthday, U.S. Constitu- tion! Cassandra Vance 7 THANK 8 OPENING GOODNESS . IT’S FRIDAY!!! OPENING 9 A YEAR WORTH RECORDING The 1987-88 school year proved early in the year to be one worth recording. It was a year marred by tragedy in the tragic death of Carla Ragin and scarred by some disappointment and defeat, such as the rejection of a large part of the school bond issue in the fall of the year. But 1987-88 was also a year with moments of victory and accomplishment. As Coach Crockett put it, “A panther keeps going and becomes stronger when he is wounded.” Upper Middle: Joey Bullington will remember the year as the one in which he stumbled on this 12 foot, 5 inch alligator on Bear Branch Road. Lower Left: For this man the year was heavenly. Miss Melanie Rogers became Mrs. Wayne Murphy, his bride. Lower Middle: Tanya Gray and Lynn Pitzer will remember the FFA trip to Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie. 10 OPENING Upper Left: Chris Cosby will remember his summer spent at Governor’s Honors in Valdosta. Here he poses with fellow band drum major Kristi Warner. Upper Right: The 1987-88 cheerleaders gave PHS students many memorable moments. Left Middle: Tony Crockett will record this year in his mind as the year he became a senior and the year his dad became Assistant Principal at PHS. Upper Right: Donny Grant will remember the year as the year of many record breaking temperatures as he swelters in an unair-conditioned classroom. OPENING 11 OCTOBER 3rd, 1987 Farm City Day, an event which takes place, but once a year is a time in which Perryans show good Southern hospitality and honor the mid-state farm- ers, the backbone of Georgia. From the early morning till late at night, a down home shindig takes place. There is square dancing, clogging, country music, arts and crafts, and food — oh the food — at Farm City Day. Farm City Day has become a tradition in the town of Perry, a time in which Perry celebrates, in reality, part of its heritage, a heritage to be proud of in many respects; for there is no hustle and bustle of a big city, just a small Southern town coming together to have a real good time. Tony Crockett This year, I, Tracy Green, saw Farm City Day from a different perspective. I had to work on Saturday, October 3rd. Because of my position, my view of that Saturday was an ugly one. My Farm City Day started at 8:00 a.m. After arriving at Ace Hardware, I realized that the day would be very long and boring. The only custom- ers were just browsing. Annoying little kids and their parents were coming in all day to get away from the cold air outside. Because nobody was buying anything, I had to look for work to do all day. Just as I had expected, the day was very boring and extremely long. I did not mind the fact that I did not get to partici- pate in any of the Farm City Day activities, but I did not enjoy missing lunch. Traffic was very con- gested and I did not get out of the parking lot until half of my lunch break was over. When I got home, I got a small bite to eat. What I ate was not considered lunch. When I got back to work, some- body had taken my parking place. After parking a great distance from the store, I went back to work and finished up the day. I really did not enjoy Farm City Day one bit. Farm City Day was just another work-day for me. When 6:00 p.m. rolled around, I was tired and ready to go home. Although I did get to see part of the parade, I was pretty much isolated from the Farm City Day fun. Top Left to Bottom Left: Connor Cherer serves that Farm City Day barbeque chicken. Ginger Kinnas smiles for the camera. Ginger Collins and Dee Dee Beard represent the Senior Class in the parade. Marcus Hill, president of the Perry FFA, helps with the Farm City Petting Zoo. Top Right to Bottom Right: Bobby Chaney gets in some milking practice for Farm City Day while Phillip Padgett, Russell Albrit- ton, and Riley Scarborough look on. Perry FFAer’s serve 1700 chicken plates. The Perry High School Band, under the direc- tion of Henry Wolfe, shows why they are a superior group. 12 OPENING SPECIAL MEMORIES OF A YEAR WORTH RECORDING The school year 1987-88 held many special moments for Perry High students. As Shonda Releford shows, there was much to cheer about in spite of moments of sadness and disappointment. Many special relationships, experiences, and daily happenings made the year definitely a year worth recording.

The first day of school! I only had one thing going for me. I was a SENIOR! Those words are still hard to believe. I mean, we still sit where the seniors sit in the pep rallies. We are treated somewhat better, but, the swollen heads of actually being SENIORS have prevented us from noticing the minor “casualties” that high school is so fam- ous for. Nobody, nowhere, can tell us anything! We’re seniors! We know it all. However, next year it starts all over. We’ll have to work our way back up the ladder of respect. We really have a lot of learning and maturing to do, but, you couldn’t make any of us believe that. Like I said, “WE ARE SENIORS.” The times are hard. The memories are GREAT. We’ll take it ALL!

In a message to the students early in the school year. Principal Phil Smith said, “Again, we are looking forward to great things this year with our athletic teams, our literary teams, our clubs and from you as a student. To accomplish these goals, you must set your expec- tations high. It is going to be a great year because you are going ' j make it so.” In order to keep student expectation high ar, to reward achievement. Perry High School initiated the Go'. Card this year. The card is given to students who maintain an . average and have good conduct and show good citizenship c -alities. The card entitles the recipient to several benefits such a - iree admission to select school activities and free Six Flag tickets. Sophomore Karl Everidge is one of the first students at Perry High School to receive a Goal Card.

Johnny Barton Ed Blount Jackie Bowen Vivian Brooks Ron Busbee Principal Phil Smith “PHS is a school where stu- dents learn about life through their classes and extracurricu- lar activities. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to work with our faculty and students.” According to Principal Phil Smith, “As you walk down the halls of Perry High School you can tell the difference. There is a warmth and very positive feeling among the faculty and students. PHS is a school where students learn about life through their class- es and extracurricular activi- ties. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to work with our faculty and students.” A main reason for the difference at Perry High School is the ex- cellent leadership of Smith and the other administrators. 66 FACULTY CONCERNED, CARING, INVOLVED Argene Claxton David Crockett Charlie Culpepper Debbie Finley Cathy Fowler Cindy Freeman Chris Gillespie Betty Gray Maggie Gresham Francie Gulledge Kay Hanley Ross Harridge Fran Hartman Emily Heath Joseph Henry Terri Henson Joan Hill Hazel Jackson Linda Johnson Joyce Jones FACULTY 67 PERRY HIGH SCHOOL: A PLACE WHERE Jim Kasowski Margaret Keen James Kinchen Sharon Lee Tim Lewis Lane Lumpkin Ray Maddox Thelma McCoy Karen McDonald Joy McNeil Melanie Murphey Wayne Murphey Col.

The Yomen Club, which is unique to Perry High, was cre- ated in 1976 by Mr. Paul Shel- ton and Mr. Allan Shaw. They created this club solely for the purpose of service. The main service associated with the Yomen Club, Perry High’s only all-male club, is its annual presentation of Showtime. Since 1977, Showtime has been a showcase for the talents of Perry High’s students. The Yomen Club is responsible for sponsor- ing this popular show that runs for three consecutive nights dur- ing the spring. Showtime, how- ever, is not the only service of the Yomen Club. Each year, our club hosts an appreciation ban- quet for the faculty of Perry High. We also award two finan- cial scholarships to college- bound seniors. This year, the Yomen Club is expanding its commitment to service. Our club is planning to further our involvement within our school and our community. At Perry High, we are planning to “adopt” one of the school’s three courtyards. This “adop- tion” will obligate the Yomen Club to maintain, and possibly improve, our courtyard. As for as community service, our club is considering various projects that will benefit the elderly mem- bers of our community. These projects involve helping these people maintain their homes and their yards. Other plans are also under consideration. The Yomen Club, under the di- rection of Mr. Wayne Murphy and Mr. Lee Slade, will continue to strive for honor, integrity, and service. The Yomen Club, since we do not collect dues, expects its members to pay for their membership with hard work. This year, in addition to improv- ing our community, we are en- couraging our members to im- prove themselves by devoting time to academics and by be- coming involved in church activi- ties. The Yomen Club would like to take the time to thank the peo- ple of Perry and the students of Perry High who have helped make our club what it is today. We realize that without the help of others we could not accom- plish what we have. We are looking forward to having anoth- er year in which we can serve others and improve our commu- nity.

About the cast . . . Perry High School is as normal and as special as all of the secon- dary schools in America. This cast of twelve on-stage actors and five behind the scenes crew has dedicated itself to portraying the reality of the teen years and to winning the AAA Region Literary Competition for One- Act in November. Behind their enthusiastic director, Chris Gillespie, and musical accompanist, Mary Thompson, are many long hours of effort and preparation. These individual young people varying in ages from 15 to 18, represent the vulnerability and the determination in the best of our future past of the 80’s. Some are studying for medical careers or musical recitals; some are beauty queens or Gospel singers; some are quiet and shy while others are loud and “hammy.” This is the first-time-on-stage experience for about half of the cast while the rest have as many as three years in amateur pro- ductions. Some see no further than the Junior-Senior Prom, while others are already on paths leading them beyond high school into pre-selected professions. They are all delightfully dedicated to bringing out their own individual bests while working unselfishly in this ensemble assembly. We hope you enjoy meeting Tony, Dee, Sandy, Jenny, Rayfus, Cory, Susan, Michael, Bryn, Kathy, Tracy and Cassandra as they portray the adults we all hope to be, while still nourishing “...the kid inside.” About the play . . . Perry High School’s One Act Play is a cutting from Jeffrey Kindley’s musical, Is There Life After High School? with music and lyrics by Craig Carnelia. This particular show is a collection of everyone’s adolescent memories pieced together into a high school scrap-book of vignettes. The musical first opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City on May 7, 1982. 77 PERRY HIGH’S ONE ACT PLAY CAST Top Left and Middle: Kathy Tucker and Corey Lumpkin sing a tune.

Under the direction of Band Director Henry Wolfe. (LEFT), the band has achieved superior ratings for the past few years at Festival competition in Milledgeville. Unlike other groups at Perry High School which must put forth an extra amount of hard work and dedication, the band is not seasonal. Members are required to work hard virtually all year long, and they even have a summer camp at school to get ready for the football season. The band participates in a wide variety of community events and provides Perry High with much entertainment at pep rallies, football games, and special programs. Two members who have been instrumental in insuring the continual superior performance of the band are drum majors Chris Cosby (BOTTOM RIGHT) and Kristi Warner (BOTTOM LEFT). Not only do these students frequently direct the band on the field, in parades, and at other performances, they also must keep order day by day and keep the band’s attention. Both have done an outstanding job this year. BAND 81 THE PRIDE OF THE CROSSROADS RIGHT TOP: The Perry High Band performs at groundbreaking ceremonies for the Georgia Ag- ricultural Exposition Center.

The color guard’s main pur- pose is to teach and show honor and respect for the American flag. While learning and showing patriotism for the flag, cadets also participate in various drill meets where they repre- sent Perry High School. The color guard willingly presents and displays the colors for special community ac- tivities, Perry High football games, various school events, and parades. The Perry High AFJROTC color guard visits other schools, such as Kings Chapel, to show how the col- ors would be presented and handled. This year, the color guard has pre- sented the colors for Perry’s down- town Constitution Day celebration and Perry High’s Veterans Day pro- gram. On the 31st of October, the color guard competed at the Interna- tional City Stadium Drill Meet in Warner Robins. There they won a first place trophy over 19 teams from 11 different schools. Male and Female Drill Teams by Tammy Lane and Mario Gilbert Making up a significant part of the AFJROTC program are the Male and Female Drill Teams. The drill teams are composed of 40 cadets under the command of two cadet of- ficers and supervision of the AFJ- ROTC instructors. Each drill team member masters skills and rules of Air Force Regulation 50-14, the drill manual. The drill teams are involved in many activities. They attend various drill meets where they compete against 86 ROTC other schools. The meets’ competi- tion developes a competitive spirit within the cadets. The drill meets also give the teams the chance to travel to different places. The male team competes in inspection, regula- tion drill with and without arms, and exhibition drill with arms. The female team also competes in inspection, regulation drill without arms, and un- armed exhibition drill. The female team is presently developing an armed exhibition routine.

The Future Farmers of America program at Perry High School is presently, and has been over the years, an outstanding program. I am only sorry that we do not have this type program in our other schools. A quick review of the leaders on the local, state, and national levels will attest to the fact that lead- ership development is a strong characteristic of this program. It gives the young people an oppor- tunity to be involved, to accept responsibility, to be creative, to do logical thinking, to solve prob- lems, to handle adversity, to fail, to win, to be rejected, to be accepted, to give support, to re- ceive support and the list could go on and on. All programs available to young people do not offer these many avenues of expression. FFA offers much more than just the book knowledge in that it adds an experience factor, a hands on factor that is immeasurable in value to the education of our youth. A student who is involved in FFA has gained an advantage over those who do not participate. I highly recommend this program to all young peo- ple. Thank you for the opportunity to add a word of praise and thanks to a great educational pro- gram.

The extracurricular activities VOCA sponsors are the weekly school newspaper, released on Fri- days, the Homecoming Sock Hop, and Senior T- shirts. The school newspaper informs students how they are placed in sports as well as other club activities. The club also takes gossip given by stu- dents to keep up with other student actions.

PEREZ Special to the HHJ The Perry Junior Qvitan Club is one of the many clubs and other extra-curricular activities available to the students of Perry High School. It is a part of an international organization. In the Junior Qvitan Qub, members provide services in and around the community and with people all over the state. It is a service club, working everyday to pro- mote those people who need a little help. These people may be either physically or mentally disabled. The club does this by community involvement in many activities. They sponsor a “change-for-children” drive in which our members place jars wrapped with a “change-for- children” flyer in many stores throughout Perry for people to drop money in. The money collected goes to support the Gracewood and Egleston Qiild- ren’s Hospital. It’s members also have the opportunity to work at the special Olympics in the spring and a week long camp in the summer to help mentally and physically disabled people, prov- ing to them that there are people who really do care about them. During Thanksgiving and Christ- mas, they have canned-food drives in which they ask for canned-food donations to feed the people who need it. Besides doing community work, they have many activities around the school. They help make a float for the Christmas Parade at the Crossroads, have a teacher appreciation day in which they provide refreshments for the teachers, help decorate for homecoming, and they are in charge of homecoming pictures. The club helps other people and they feel good about it. Most of them enjoy doing community projects. There are, however, regular meetings and district meetings which require serious attention and approach, but its rewards far more than compen- sate for it. The Junior Qvitan Club is a well-known and popular club. There are currently eighty- seven members enrolled.

Advanced Placement teacher Susan Pierce prepares for AP lab. 112 QUIZ BOWL ADVANCED PLACEMENT Students at Perry High School may earn college credit while still in high school by enrolling in Advanced Placement classes. Perry High offers several such classes. AP English, taught by Sharon Lee, is a year- long, in-depth study of literature and compo- sition for academically talented secondary students. AP Calculus, taught by Jim Soles, is a full-year in elementary functions and introductory calculus. AP Biology places emphasis upon the principal topics covered in introductory college biology courses. An after-school lab is required, and the course is taught by Susan Pierce. AP History, taught by Jackie Bowen, is a year-long, chronologi- cal history of the political, economic, social, and intellectual issues events which have shaped the development of the United States. AP courses require much effort on the part of both teacher and student. Most students complain of the work, but, in the end, they admit they would not trade the experience for anything in the world, even if the pro- gram did not give the opportunity for col- lege credit work.

The excel- lent instruction of this one phase of the school has been cited by many parents as the chief reason they selected Perry High over other area schools. The oldest vocational program at the school is probably the ag- ricultural program. This course of study has been recognized many times on a national level and offers classes in vegetable production, swine production, farm shop, horticulture, land- scaping, animal science, forest- ry, soil and water management, floral design, food processing, welding, small engines, wiring, and agricultural business man- agement. The business educational courses at Perry High feature the latest in typing and comput- er equipment. Courses taught at this discipline include computer literacy, computer application, data processing, computer pro- gramming, PASCAL program- ming, shorthand, dictation, typ- ing, bookkeeping, accounting, business law, office procedures, and word processing. Another traditional vocational course is home economics. These classes are housed in a new lab complete with a modern kitchen. The courses offered in- clude foods, clothing, and child care. Also among the older vocational studies is industrial arts. Today’s students in this program may study drafting, wood working, and construction. Relatively new vocational pro- grams are in the areas of metals, marketing, food services, trans- portation, car mechanics, and medical technology. The school also offers special work pro- grams in CVAE, DCT, and VOT.

I have been a boyfriend for the past two and a half years. Last week, after having a misunderstanding with my girlfriend, and after reading “Why I Want a Wife” by Judy Syfers, it occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a boyfriend. I want a boyfriend to come see me an hour per day and call me every night to say nice things to me for at least thirty minutes. I want a boyfriend so he’ll have to ask my parents if I may go out on the weekends and to explain to them why I came in after curfew. I want a boyfriend to take me out every week-end and to pay for the date. I want him to make all the tough decisions like where to eat, which movie to watch, and what time to pick me up, so I can make tougher decisions like what to wear. I want a boyfriend that recognizes my needs at school. 1 want one to buy me food at break and milk at lunch, a boyfriend that carries my books in the halls and walks me to class, even if it makes him late. I want a boyfriend that will protect me from all the ugly and undesirable boys, but if a cute one talks to me I want him to understand we’re just friends. I want him to not bug me when I want to hang out with my friends but not stop in the hall to talk to his when I’m in a hurry. I want a boy- friend that I can make jealous just so I’ll feel wanted, a boyfriend that I can blame for all the problems or fights we have. I want a boyfriend that will protect my reputation and image. I want him to open my door for me and take me cruising on the week-ends. 1 want a boy- friend that looks good and has a lot of muscles and will make the other girls jealous by hugging me and kissing me. I want a boyfriend that dresses nice and will make my parents like him by saying, “Yes sir” and “Yes maam.” I want to be able to brag that_______________is my boyfriend. I want a boyfriend that will take care of some of my minor tasks such as helping me with my home- work and picking up my brothers and sisters. I want one that will remind me of my meetings and activities. 1 want a boyfriend that either takes me to school sporting events or participates in them so I can come watch and say, “That’s my baby.” I want a boyfriend I can be proud of. My God, who wouldn’t want a boyfriend!?! 124 STUDENT LIFE BE FRIENDS FOREVER STUDENT LIFE 125 VAGOTir '-nr it- i ' 1 WAS B Rkp' SYour excuse?

If you ask just an- body, his or her answer will probably be, Spirit, per- sonality, and appearance. But, if you ask a cheerlead- er. you will more than likely get a totally different answer. It's a great opportunity for growth and leader- ship — a position of power, definite responsibility, and great importance. Cheerleaders spark enthusiasm at a game and help to get the fans involved in the action of the team. It's an important function in school sports, and cheerleading is growing larger everyday. TONYA GRAY: “Cheerleading is fun, But it makes you feel DEAD. You know you can make it If you are RED on the HEADUr ROXANNE BROWN: “lam a cheerlead- er as you all know, My name is Roxanne, and Tm HOT- TO-GOr SHARON COTTON: “Cheerleading days had their delights, But nothing can compare to those ball- game nights. ” JOBY COLLINS: “My name is Joby, and Tm like a candle, ’Cause Tm the cheerleader that’s TOO HOT TO HANDLE!’’ KEELA WHITEST: “Cheerleading for three years has been a Big hustle, But I tell you one thing — it took a lot of MUSCLE!” TRACY WILLIARD: “Cheerleading has its ups and downs Sometimes it can make you out to be a clown. Yet, nothing could replace this year of fun and memories away But I don’t ever want to be here to STAY!!!” LYNN BAUMLI: “A cheerleader’s work is never done!” SHONDA RELEFORD: “I’m new at cheerleading, and it’s been a pleasure, I’ll always remember it in the thoughts I treasure. PATRICE DAVIS: “Cheerleading is great. The season was fun. That’s why the PHS Cheerleaders Are 1!!!” TA NIK A IRBY: ‘Cheerleaders are rarely recognized for their hard work, mainly just for their high skirts. It’s fun, even though it is hard work — — and a whole lot of SWEAT!” ALLYSON (CHICKEN) WILLARD: “If you think education is expensive you ought to try CHEERLEAD- ING!” SARAH BLOUNT: “Most of the time when you see cheerleaders, you look at their faces, or you judge them on how many times they mess up in a cheer. Nobody thinks about all the work that is put into being a good cheerleader. It’s not easy. It’s a lot of hard work. But, in the end, it’s worth it. ” BECKY COTTON: “I love to cheer. I love to chant, And ANYBODY can do it - So don’t say you can’t!” MISSY PARHAM: “Cheering is lots of hard work, but the spirit of the fans and teams makes it all worthwhile. ” CHEERLEADERS 131 PERRY HIGH The Panthers started out well this year.
