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
