oaewaab An oak tree is known as a symbol of sturdiness and dependability. For this reason, we have select- ed it as the theme of this yearbook. Its trunk represents the school, its officials and teachers, the leaves are the students, for they're constantly com- ing and going, the branches are the various activi- ties which add variety and new interests to the school. With the passing of time one forgets so much of the humor, the excitement, the triumph of high school life. The Spring Dance, the Prom, that English class, the first date, the Christmas Luncheon, confidential chats in the library. All these typify school life, but are soon forgotten, not from lack of interest, but rather from the rapid pace of life. Thus to renew these old memories we present to you the SOUVENIR. With this we hope to have completed a year of glorious work.

' J .. . 7' ' 1 N , f ow. gciwoi, out -fi., What should our school and our flag mean to us? lt should mean a place of opportunity, and a place to better ourselves in the course of life which we choose to take. This not only gives us a chance to make a place for us in the world, but also helps us to be better citizens of America. Our flag should be a symbol of freedom and peace. The three colors of the flag are Red, White and Blue. The Blue represents justice. White is for purity and cleanliness. The Red is the blood of brave men and women who were willing to die, or worthy to live for America. The school and the flag are being put into the younger generation, so let us keep these valuable meanings and symbols of our flag, for if we lose them we no longer have our school or our flag. Richard Warren Seventh Grade PERRY, FOR YOU Our school is an emblem Of spirit and fair play. Long will she stand thus- As a shrine of our today. Proud are we of our charity And standards high in aim. Win or lose we will ne'er refuse To try to play the game. CHORUS: Perry, for you we'll work and fight, We'll honor your name, Perry, for you we claim the right To spread far your fame. Courage and loyalty, Qualities dear to all, For Perry, our Alma Mater, To us you will reign o'er all. Gilbert W. Porsch, l94l
