With the next seven steps we learned the fundamentals of knowledge. During the course of the years most of the beginners, in fact all but six, left, but there always were others to take their places. Taking our freshman step proved very successful. Our boys turned out to be the regulars of the Reserve Basketball Team. We had members in the Scholarship Club and Silver P . Our sophomore step also proves successful. This year, besides the great basketball players, we also have outstanding football players. Several of them are letterman. We have added members to the Scholarship Club, and we have two representatives in the new Perry High School Student Council. We have two more steps to climb and we will strive to make a success of everything we attempt. sixteen

Of the forty who started only thirteen are still with us. We passed through the first few years just as everyone else did—learning our time tables, long division, parts of speech, geography, and taking part in operettas, entertainments, and such, receiving our share of discipline in the third grade and profiting from the influence of the checkered apron and the slipper in the fifth. Then, before we knew it, we were upstairs. In all the newness and confusion, we were rather obscure, but in the tenth grade we came out from our obscurity and established our reputation by throwing the Kid Party. All along we have been well represented in athletics and in the musical departments. In our sophomore year we had the largest percentage of representatives in the Scholarship Club, a number of leads in the operetta, The Mikado ' and the high school play, Growing Pains. Also, we had the honor of having the high school string trio in our class. This year, as juniors, we were brave enough to step forward and suggest the Student Council, a suggestion which met with success. We are also credited with the successful Home-coming Dance and are planning a bigger and better Junior-Senior Prom. fifteen

It was then that we gave our first play. In the last year before we left grade school our number increased. One of our members was chosen May Queen. Through the seventh and eighth grades we became acquainted with the ways of high school. Now, in the ninth grade, there are thirteen of our original thirty left in this school. We, as ninth graders, look to the future with hopefulness and expectancy. seventeen
