Students Provide Commuiiity Services The boys ' basketball and football teams had cheerleaders, the wrestling team had matmaids, and the boys ' swim team had aquamaids to cheer them on. Aquamaids was a club for girls who wanted to support swimmers by attending all their home meets for the purpose of taking times and helping out at the scorers table. We decorated lockers, cheered for the swimmers, and gave parties for them, said Kim Allison ' 85. Other forms of support provided by the aquamaids included the preparation of pre-school breakfasts and flowers for other county or sectional meets. Students who participated actively in Perry Meridian ' s People for People club showed their concern for others through club activities. Examples of the club ' s efforts were displayed by their annual assistance at the Central State Hospital Toy Shop. People for People club members helped the Indiana Mental Association by participating in the public service event. People for People members had students visit Nursing and Guardian homes. Any girl who was a senior and had an interest in working for the benefit of others was eligible to be a member of Roines. This was an organization through which senior girls could get together and meet new friends. Roines presented two speakers Mrs. Betty Kohls, school nurse, and representative from Mary Kay Cosmetics. In addition, the girls held a Christmas party. The Roines officers for 1983-84 were President Anita Copass ' 84, and Vice President Chervl Chambers ' 84. The most important goal in life was the continuing effort to form meaningful relationships with other people, obser ' ed Mrs. Ginger Faber, Human Relations Club sponsor. That thought was the base on which the Human Relations Club conducted its activities. Human Relations Club presented a talent show. The show was held to give talented students of Perry a chance to show their ability. Visitors or newcomers to Perry Meridian were sure to receive a warm welcome extended by an Ambassador, not a foreign diplomat, but a member of the Ambassadors Club. Members of this club choosen for their helpful and outgoing characteristics, served as guides for new students. In addition, they greeted guests attending the parent Idea meeting and guided parents during the PTA Back-to-School- Night. 78 SERVICE CLUBS

OrgattiaKations Bring Spirit to Peak Spirit, a precious commodity at any high school, made a strong showing at Perry, but spirit was temper- mental and needed some motivation before it would siurface. Luckily, Perry had five, active, spirit-raising organizations to bring the school ' s spirit level to its peak. The year began with the Marching Band, Drum Majors, Falconettes, and Rifle Corps making their debut on the football field. After months of intense practice through the unbearable sum- mer heat, they executed their contest show, Spys in the Night, which eventually took them to an impressive showing in the district contest. The band ' s pre-game and half time shows entertained the crowd, raised the crowd ' s spirit level, and kept it there. By the time the team reached the field, the crowd gave them a rousing cheer because they were excited with a Httle help from the band. Lisa Narmore ' 87 felt The marching band is a very big part 80 SPIRIT CLUBS
