Fine Band Show
The Perry High Band and ma
jorettes performed an excellent
halftime show at the Hawkinsville-
Perry football game. The band
marched to midfield where they
did a precision drill to “America
the Beautiful.” Then facing the
I fans, the band played “Yankee
Doodle Dandy”; and the high-step-1
ping majorettes performed a
twirling routine. Leaving the field,
the members executed fancy steps
to the tune of the “Beguine” and
other marches. The show ended
with a precision bow by the en
' tire band as the spectators ap
-1 plauded the fine entertainment.

Debaters Named
Although it wasn’t "Give me
! liberty, or give me death,” it was
I just as impressive. Recently Mrs.
Harrison’s homeroom heard the
federal aid to education issue de
bated. The speeches were excellent
and brought out many important
issues, both pro and con. The con
testants were quite impressive in
i their thorough knowledge of the
subject, and the judges found it
extremely difficult to make their
decisions.
This year’s debate team consists
of Jimmy Paul and Lynn Smith as
the negative, and Catherine Sny-
I der and David Lawson speaking
for the affirmative. The alternates
| are Andrea Snyder and Floyd Ta
| bor.
Panthers Falter
The Perry Panthers fell before
the Hawkinsville Red Devils last
Friday night, 27-0.
The Panthers fumbled four
times in the first quarter, and the
Red Devils made good use of the
opportunities given them and scor
ed twice. The third quarter saw
one Red Devil score, on a Grin
stead pass.
The Panthers played a much bet
ter game the second half. They
held the Devils to only one score
and controlled the ball a good
part of the half. They were, how
ever, unable to score.
The Panthers were plagued by
fumbles, injuries, an intercepted
pass, and bad luck. They gave all
they had and never gave up.
Tomorrow night the Panthers
journey to Montgomery County to
play an improved Rebel team.
Bth Graders Lose
The Perry eighth grade gridders
lost to Eastman, 14-0, last week.
Eastman scored both touchdowns
in the first quarter and held Per
ry scoreless for the remainder of
the game. According to Coach
Hartman, the boys played a good
game except for the first quarter
when they were scored on twice.
The ninth grade takes on Haw
kinsville here on October 11 at
4:30.
Libraries: Home of
Influential Matter
The precious commodity of books
has always had great potential
power. The printed page was made
I possible about the middle of the
1 15th century and has certainly be
come a tremendous force for good
or evil—depending on the manner
in which it is used.
Books keep influencing for cen
turies! Ideas can start revolutions,
i>nd many ideas have received
wide recognition in by the vehicle
of the printed page. Take the
j; Bible, for instance. It has caused

■ja revolution in mans religious
s life and has changed the spiritual
attitude of so many peoples. This
book has become a family posses
sion and influences so many lives
today, two thousand years after
; it was written! This is an exam
’ pie of using the printed page for
• good.
' Some countries have feared, and
do fear, the influence of certain
books on the minds of the people
-of the world. The leaders of these
countries have destroyed books
1 which contain doctrines opposed to
their beliefs. Sometimes they even
; distort the writings of things; and
in this way, the printed page be
comes an instrument of evil. One
; sees that the printed page does
play an important part in every
day life.
The commodity of books which
librarians handle has great power
—sometimes explosive power but
usually just a gentle influence.
They love books and handle them
with much pride and respect, and
they like to try and encourage
students to do more reading and
acquire a greater love for and
appreciation of books.
If books are so very important,
then one realizes that libraries
where books are kept must be of
great value, too. What if libraries
should disappear? At times you
might think this would be won
derful (when you’re having to pre
pare a term paper), but just think
of the shattering influence this
would have upon mankind—as the
knowledge that has been discover
ed and accumulated down through
the ages would be gone.
We at Perry High School are
most fortunate in having the beau
tiful new library we have. It is
so spacious, cheerful, and well
furnished. (Yes, air conditioning
would be nice during the hot wea
ther; but at least (here are two
fans that help greatly!) When you
visit some other schools through
; out the state you realize how
grateful you should be, and we
i should always take pride and in
. terest in our library,
f We want students to always en
i joy coming to the library and are
1 anxious to serve you and help you
• find facts and information when
needed. We also enjoy helping you
■ find a book merely for the enter
tainment you receive from read
ing it.
You might wonder what is done
in a library. Well, a great variety
of tasks are performed—ordering
books and magazines, mending
i books, processing new books, char
-1 ging out and checking in books, I
, shelving books in their proper
, places, fixing exhibits and bulle
. tin boards, cataloging, reading
1 shelves, doing reference work, etc.
. All these jobs arc required to keep
a library running smoothly.
Libraians try to bring people
, books together. For what good
[ is a book that is never read? The
, motto of the American Library
> Association used to be “the right
1 book for the right person at the
right time.” We should try to
achieve that here at Perry High!
The student assistants this year
are: Annette Byrd, Mary Jo Duck
worth, Dan Adkinson, Garland Ty
ner, Rachael Bloodworth, Jean
Gray. Thelma Terrell, Carol Col
lier. Joann Andrews, Edward
Tucker, Tiny Jo Goodman, Judy
Smith, Mike Rapp, Holley Bube
nik, and Blakely Murray. They are
here because they asked to work
in the library. Their aim is cour
tesy and helpfulness, and they are
here to help and serve you.
Visit your library' often and as
you pick up a book, do so with
pride and respect for it. Books
are good friends. Make many
friends by reading and enjoying
doing so!
Hi-Y Meeting Held
The Hi-Y held its second meet
ing of the year last Monday night.
, Danny Meadows led the devo-
tional, after which the business
was conducted. Projects for Sep
tember were reported and evalu
ated, and school and community
projects for October were decided
upon. Throughout the month of
October, all members are to take
part in an honesty campaign.
During the latter part of the
month, a “no vandalism on Hallo
ween” project will be staged. Af
ter the completion of business, the
boys were dismissed with the
j Lord’s Prayer.
Cow Politics
SOCIALISM lf you have 2
cows, the government takes both
of them and gives you back a little
skim milk.
COMMUNISM lf you have 2
cows, the government shoots you,
gives the cows to your neighbors, |
and issues a manifesto to the ef
fect that milk is a poisonous se- j
cretion produced only by capitalis
tic mammals.
BRANNEN PLAN—If you have
2 cows, the government shoots the
bull and milks the taxpayer.
IDEALISM—If you have 2 cows,
you imagine that one is a bull.
REALISM—If you have 2 cows,
both of them are dry.
Pep Is Raised
Last week’s chapel-pep rally was
opened with a short devotional on
finding happiness given by Mr.
Staples. The devotional was closed
with a prayer by Ronnie Davis.
Coach St. John then gave his
views on Friday night’s game and
introduced the captain, Charles
Bridges, who urged the students to
attend the game and back the
team.
The program being turned over
to them, the cheerleaders led the
students in several pep-raising
yells after which the band enter
tained everyone with several se
lections. Also, the majorettes pre
sented a twirling routine to “Yan
kee Doodle Dandy” which was en
joyed by all.
The pep rally ended with the
singing of the Alma Mater.
Sophomores Elect
Officers of the sophomore class
weer elected this week by mem
bers of the class. With Mr. Cheek
presiding, the students elected
Harvey NeSmith to be their presi-1
dent, Bit Hunt as vice president, j
Beverly Wicks as secretary, and
Andrea Snyder as treasurer. Judy ;
Gray was also elected reporter, j
Harvey promised everyone a “good
year” on behalf of the officers.
