chain of recreation centers. By the way, George Wills of the Automatic Air Conditioning Company, certainly has remained true to Alma Mater, for he has employed three of the class in the office. A high pressure saleswoman is Irma Bueningg two perfect secretaries are Roberta Shinton and June Meyerl. It all goes to prove the long disputed theory of women in business. Conspicuous by their absence are Betty Jones, iMargie McElroy and Bill Westlake, who are still recovering from the ordeal of writing the Class Prophecy, and are physically unable to attend. CLASS HISTORY fAY back in '37 on a cold blustery February day, a group of small frightened ' boys and girls crept into the huge auditorium of Perry High School. Here, with other new students we listened to Dr. Adams, as he told us of the duties and privileges of Perryites. From here we were taken to Room 97 fnow Room 21, our report room, and met our new report room teacher, Miss Tishcrman. At first we all herded in a group while an upperclassman took us from one room to another. As time went on, we got to know our way around the halls as well as if we had gone to Perry all our lives. We signed up for clubs and did many things in an entirely different way from that which we had been accustomed to do in Valley and Chatham, our previous Alma Maters. Next year fwe were then in the eighth grade, of coursej we regained some of our confidence by seeing pupils still smaller than we. Although we were still young fry to our upper classmen, we considered ourselves very proud, for we were now of some importance to Perry. At last we could show our initiative by selecting courses to further our ambitions. When we entered the 9th grade we were quite the thing Qso we thoughtj. But this grade also brought about quite a change. Many new pupils joined us from McNaugher School, and our room, which had been together for two years, was now split up. We were changed into three report rooms: Room 209ffMrs. Yockey. Room 318ffMr. Stratiff. Room 32Of Miss Knox. fThese room numbers have also been changed since then.j We also selected our entire course now. Some took a General courseg some, Business, and others, College Preparatory, and all the time we were entering into more and more of the school activities, climbing higher and higher. ln the tenth grade our class was divided into two report rooms instead of three. In 10B they were Miss Waddell in 111, and Mr. Landis in 318. In 10A Bliss Waddell's room was moved to Mr. Ralston's in 106. Vfe graduated from juniors and were members of Senior High School, although we attended lnterf mediate Assemblies. Our class members were eligible for sports and we began to take more and more important roles in student activities. The First part of our eleventh year saw our class broken up into three self' governed groups. It was not until the middle of the year that we fully organized ourselves. After a long and tiresome wait our rings finally arrivedg although the year seemed to go entirely too fast and before we realized it, the seniors had graduated and we were led into our twelfth and IHOSIZ important year. Here we are at lastf -Seniors. Only one year left, and then it will be all over. Under the able guidance of Miss Eber and Mr. Landis we expected to whiz through the nnal year with easefwell, maybe. How the weeks flew past and there we were ordering pictures, commencement invitations, and appointing committees for the Senior Prom, taking tests for high honor, tests for this and tests for that. Several more weeks flew by and thenf-Graduation Night and we were Perryites no more. We felt happy, and yet sad because it left an empty place in our hearts. CLASS OF FEBRUARY, I943 Page Twenty one
