Class Histd V Twelve years ago in ’31, we entered Perry School Miss Nichols and Miss Helen West taught each and every rule. But discipline was rather poor, ’til Miss Margaret did appear And gave us those stern glances which in time we learned to fear The temper of our third grade teach’ was really something new Miss Anthony had red hair and we were black and blue. The teachings of Miss Langshaw really started things to whirl She made us learn to multiply—yes boys as well as girls. Mrs. Champion and Miss Kneisley helped along in our career For the fifth grade class grew bigger—we added more on every year. Again the sixth grade class was large, and we became divided. Mrs. Corwin and Miss Kneisley grew gray as they presided. A great big jump we then did take, to the great big junior high. Our teachers grew in number as we did grow in size. It was then we learned the drawers of our desks would open And if we left them that way it wasn’t a rib that was broken. Our eighth grade class was smaller—back to its normal size For we had dropped the morons—boy we were getting wise. Yes, the wisdom of this lowly class made everybody wonder

If we would ever graduate—we were on the way — by thunder. Ah—listen folks about the love that hit our Freshman class George, and Bob, and also Chuck took lessons from a “Sweet” lass. Honors now for our dear class were beginning to appear. The girls took to music and sports for the boys so dear. Not much gain was made that year in either of our courses But give us time you important guys, we’ll show ya where our force is. We needed not much time, as you’ve probably heard the rumpus; For ’twas our girls who traveled to Kent and to Columbus. Yes, the Sophomore class was very proud to have members in the chorus. They really sang their hearts out for our Government, victorious. Nothing happened along the line of the so-called sports career, But all our fellows needed was the experience of a year They gained that experience and went to town to win for P. H. S. The champion of Western Reserve in football, that you guessed And also in our Junior year it always is the duty To sponsor a Junior-Senior Prom ours sure was a beauty. Our enrollment increased by three that year—Dick, Geneva and Gerry. They heard about our super-class. That’s why they moved to Perry. Out of our way you lower classmen. We’re the seniors now — YIPPEE We’ve waited twelve long years (and how) our diplomas for to see We started off with a great bang, an annual we had planned,
