THE PERRI " SCOPE
Panthers Win, 67-0
Wilkinson County’s Warriors
fell before a furious Panther on
slaught as the Perry eleven began
region competition with a 67-0
victory.
Ironically, the Warriors were
the first to strike pay dirt. The
touchdown pass play, however, was
called back because of off-sides.
From then on the Panthers dom
inated the game. Ronnie Davis
made a 45-yard punt return to
start the scoring. Ellis rounded
out the scaring far the first half
on one and four yard plunges. A
Hasty-to-Goodman pass provided
the only point after and the Pan
thers led at halftime, 19-0.
The Panthers emerged from the
half-time rest period refreshed,
and Bonnie Davis scored on the
second play. Leroy Williamson ad
ded the point. Goodman caught a
Hasty pass, Ellis scored the extra
point, and the first string were
through for the night.
They were reeplaced admirably,
however. A Hunt pass to Currey
Gayle accounted for one touch
down, with Mayo adding the extra
point. Still another third quarter
score came on a Hunt to Mayo
pass, with Dismuke adding the
point after. Dismuke rounded out
the scoring in the big third quar
ter on a 20-yard scamper.
Hunt passed to Gayle to open
the fourth quarter’s scoring, with
Lee Rush adding the point after.
Mayo scored from six yards out.
Dismuke added the extra point,
and the Panthers scored no more.
The Panther defense again show
ed up very well, holding the War
riors to only 2 first downs and 69
yards gained. Tomorrow night the
Panthers face a tough Treutlen
County crew who proved their
worth by beating Hawkinsville 19-
14. This is a region game and
should be one of the best of the
year.
Basketball Drills
Boy’s basketball practice offi
cially began Monday. The boys are
working very hard, and prospects
for a good season look good since
all of last year’s team are back.
Also beginning Monday was
girls’ basketball practice under
Coach Marshall and the new coach,
Coach Thompson. With the loss of
only two first string players, the

8-9 Cheerleaders
| Eight very excited girls went
home Tuesday afternoon, after be
ing chosen eighth and ninth grade
1 cheerleaders at the try-outs held
1 on the baseball field.
1 Chosen were the following: Shir
ley Woodruff, Donna Loggins, and
Pat Wilson from the eighth grade;
; Shirley Clifton, Ann White, Ann
1 Hunt, Dorothy Risher, and Bobbi
Lou Johnson from the ninth grade.
The new cheerleaders will be
under the supervision of Miss
Irene Eason, who is holding prac
tice every afternoon to keep up
the school spirit of good ole PHS.
' Their first opportunity for cheer
’ ing their team to victory was last
Thursday night in Vienna and
judging from the score, which was
27-7 in Perry’s favor, they did a
; great job.
It's 'Diet Riot'
Friday night at the Perry-Wil
co football game, the spectators
, were entertained with a fine half
, time show by the Perry High
, School band and majorettes. The
! theme of the show was “Losing
’ Weight”. Lynn Smith narrated as
the band members and the ma
, jorettes illustrated the most com
t mon ways to lose weight.
The first way demonstrated was
, a walk in the park to the tune of
, “Strolling Through the Park.” The
secnod was dancing—a polka to be
. exact—of which the high stepping
■ majorettes did a very lively ver-
I sion. Other ways to lose weight
i were calisthenics and Metrecal.
i The band members and majorettes
■ formed an enormous bottle of this
■ on the field and showed what the
[ powerful liquid would do if left
i in the bottle too long—the bottle
shrank.
The show ended after the Alma
Mater, and the band left the field
playing the march “Normal”.
Jr. Class Elects
The Junior Class held its first
class meeting in the gym last
i week. A fine devotional was given
■ by Jan Brown and was closed with
, a prayer by Mr. Staples.
: Ways to make money for the
; Junior-Senior dance were discuss-
ed, and it was decided that each
member of the Junior class was to
bring $3 dues for the year. If this
was not enough, members of the
class could have side projects to
bring in more money.
Then officers for the new school
year were elected by secret ballot.
Dozier Hasty was elected presi
dent; Charlene Kersey, vice presi
dent; and Mari Emily Greene, se
cretary-treasurer.

1 Guess Who?
Although he is a new member
1 of Perry High School, he is known
and loved by all. A former gradu
ate of Perry High School, this
coach was once a rival of Perry.
It seems that his students often
see him playing with chalk.

Foreign Visitor
Seventeen-ycar-old Lunnie Soto
major from Guayaquil, Ecuador,
visited several classes in high
school on Friday of last week. This
pretty girl is an I. F. Y. E. repre
sentative and is visiting in the
United States for six months. At
present she is staying with a fam
ily in Marshallville.
In a charming manner, Lunnie (
answered the numerous questions
put to her by the students. She ]
also showed her talent in art by I
sketching a picture on the black- 1
board. 1
Adding interest to the discus- j
sion, the young girl showed the
dress of the Indian women in her
country. She herself lives in the
city and is like North American
young people in most aspects.
Speaking French, Spanish and
English fluently, Lunnie won
many friends in high school and
brought the ties of the two Ameri
cas closer together.
In remembering the neighbor
ing countries to the south, one
should remember that they, too,
are Americans and should be treat
ed accordingly. Young people such
as Lunnie and students of Perry
