Edward Palmer, Mr. Stirm Student Council The Student Council constitutes the voice of the student body in directing those matters pertaining to the interests of the students of Perry High School. 11 is composed of fourteen members: two from each of the upper six classes, one junior high faculty advisor, and one senior high faculty advisor. This year the group sponsored the assembly programs, the first the school has had for several years. The Christmas luncheon which was also arranged by this group was very outstanding. Two of the most important duties of this group are the setting up and managing of the social program and the organization of the noon programs. The Student Council is a strong organization, ever growing in power and prestige, and always devoted to the best interests of the students. eight

Senior Class History Big—awe-inspiring—a little bit terrifying, but excitingly new and different! Such were the impressions made on forty boys and girls who, twelve long years ago, entered the first grade room to begin on the long journey which was to take them through so many fields of adventure, dis-allusionment, failure, success, and high achievement. The first few years in school passed quickly in a maze of roller skates, time tables, operettas, and checkered aprons, until suddenly, without our quite realizing what a momentous change was taking place, we found ourselves upstairs, the bewildered and derided seventh graders. Soon, however, we became accustomed to the new routine of changing classes, attending assemblies, and trying to get our lessons in study halls. Fast becoming a part of the institution which played such a vital part in our lives, we shouldered new responsibilities and learned new lessons in how to get along with others. Then came high school! Life was intensely exciting as we found ourselves swept into the whirlpool of extra-curricular activities. Dramatics, music, entertaining, sports, publications—all claimed our attention and proved our versatility. Through the guidance of the teachers and the kind encouragement of Mr. Few, we consistently maintained a high scholastic standing, placing many members in the Scholarship Club, National Honor Society, and Silver P . As a class, we believe we have done our best to preserve the integrity and high standard of Perry at all times. ten
