A new incentive was given to the students of the 1982-83 school year to make good grades. An honor party was held for students who raised their grades without receiving a failing mark and for those who made the A, B honor roll. The party was held on Friday, January 28, for the junior and senior classes, and Friday, February 4, for students in the freshman and sophomore classes. Students were excused from their homerooms, fifth and sixth periods. Students crowded the audltoriimi for a brief instructional meeting led by Mr. James Head amd Mr. Phil Washington. Students then were released to the foyer and gymnasium. Tony LaMont from WTLC enter- tained students with music by Toni Basil, Hall and Gates, and others. Some students expressed en- thusiasm on the dance floor, while others foimd basketball, volleyball and ping pong more to their liking. Whatever the activity, the coke machine supplied a welcome refresh- ment. At 2:20, a drawing was held for blue and silver Perry Meridian Falcon jackets which were donated by the Dad ' s club. Five jackets were award- ed to each class by their officers. The highlight of the party was the Mainstream concert. This electric group of past and present Perry students included Steve Crady ' 84, Martin Dannemiller ' 82, Scott Tim- nell ' 83, Brad Rees ' 83, and Jim Brun- ner ' 84. They rocked their au dience with high energy songs by John Couger, the Beatles, and Kool and the Gang. Intermingled were the low ke ' love baUads of Kenny Rogers .

The honor party was a great suc- cess in the eyes of both the faculty and the students. I hope that this will become a tradition. Looks like it has the sup- port of the students.

They agreed partying during homeroom, fifth and sixth period beat studying any day.
