Band Five years ago the citizens of Perry got together and decided there was something missing in Perry’s football games. That something was a band. The kindhearted citizens of Perry raised enough money to buy uniforms and the students of Perry High School furnished boys and girls to fill these uniforms. Thus, was the first Perry High School Band. As the years have gone by the band has grown increasingly better and interest has been on the rise. This year’s band, under the direction of Mr. Custer, besides playing and marching at the football games, assisted in the pep sessions and various other programs and gave several concerts.

Latin Club The Junior Classical League is made up of present and former Latin students of Perry High School. This club was organized for the purpose of encouraging among the students an interest in and appreciation of the civilization, language, literature, and art of ancient Home, and to give them some understanding of the debt of our own culture to that great classical age.

Cheerleaders The cheerleaders led the cheering for the football and basketball teams. Braving rain, snow, hard benches, and long bus rides with dozens of boys, the cheerleaders did much to bolster the spirit and moral of the team. Robyn Von Lehmden, the only holdover from last year’s troop, was captain of the group. Robyn and Helen Kurtz received gold awards and Rose Butterfield, Nancy Elliott, and Jane Peterson earned their letters. Jane Peterson. Nancy Elliott. Robyn Von Lehmden, Helen Kurtz, Rose Butterfield. Majorettes What is more spectacular than high stepping, strutting majorettes leading the hand through some marching formation? Their baton twirling and acrobatics hold the attention of all. This year’s majorettes, led by Ruth tlhr-inan, did a grand job marching during the halves of the football games in both fair or foul weather, and successfully ended the year by participating in the hand concert. twenty-nine a Standing—Lynn Keller, Shirley Wyant, Ruth Uhrman, Joyce Smith, Jill King.
