SCHOOL BELLS RING AGAIN
It’s that time of year again;
the lime when students and tea
chers once more dance to the
tunc of the school bells; the
time when everyone hears all
those moans and groans about
bark to the old grind".
Most students, when asked, will
say that they don't like school;
they don’t want to come back.
But really most of them proba
bly have, down inside them, a
twinge of happiness about seeing
all their friends again, "trying
out” new teacher, and really
having something worthwhile to
do
11 everyone were eager to re
turn to school, there would be
no trouble getting settled, gelling
down to business and hopping
when those bells ring again.

THE HECTIC FIRST
DAYS OF SCHOOL
Oh. those hectiv first days to
school! Sweet relief, they are
finally over! Did you at limes
tind yourself where you weren’t
supposed to be? Did you lose |
yourself in the rush? . I
The seventh graders were es- t
pecially confused the first few
days of school The eighth grad- I
ers were accustomed to the old 1
routine of changing classes six or \
seven times a day and didn't ;
have too much difficulty. s
One go;Kl change this year, and f
a big help to the traffic prob (
lem in the hall, concerns k
“break”. Last year one or two ’
people from each second-period
class look refreshment orders
and brought the Cokes and crack- n
ers back to the room. The stu- tl
dents stayed in their rooms until p
they finished eating This year p
the students go out to the old

FIRST ASSEMBLY
The 7th and Blh grade students
met together in their first assem
bly on Friday, September 15. Al
though this was the first pro
gram of the year, it would have
been difficult to present a better
one.
Gay Nation gave the devotional
on "Handicaps”. Gay advised
the students to make the most
of the gifts that God has given
them and not to feel sorry for
Ihcmselves because of the gifts
they don’t have.
Mrs. Cawthon talked to the
students on being "completely
present” whereever they are and
then announced the entertain
ment for this assembly.
The student body enthusiastical
ly welcomed Susan Thomason,
Brenda Key, and Danny Jo Key
who sang five selections with the
accompaniment of their guitars,
spoons and a tambourine. The
five selections were "Georgy
Girl", “Sometime Loving” "Roc
ky Road”. "Summer Song" and
"Come Go With Me”.
The students and faculty mem
; ts enjoye 1 this program im
mensely as was evidenced by
their "completely present" res
ponse and their enthusiastic ap
plause.

GONE BUT NOT
FORGOTTEN
Many of the teachers we were 1
so ioi tunate to have in the school I
year 1966-67 did not return for 1
various reasons. The Junior Hi-
Lites Staff thought perhaps you
would be interested in knwing
why they did not return and what
they are doing this year.
Mrs. Helen Conley, our music
appreciation teacher, who lives
on Elizabeth Avenue, had to re
sign because of her health.
Mr. Haskell Acker, who taught
seventh grade history and eighth
grade English, is teaching in
Columbus this year.
Our last year’s seventh grade
math teacher, Mrs. Libby Byus,
has moved to Athens with her
husband, and they have both re
turned to school.
An Air Force transfer created
another vacancy in our leaching
staff Mrs. Robin Martin, whose
husband is in the Air Force,
taught seventh grade science and
seventh and eighth grade math
She is now a buyer for an Atlan
ta department store.
Mrs. Billie Sue Thomson, who
was temporarily taking Mrs. Isa
bell Schell’s place, has resumed
being a homemaker. Mrs. Thom
son taught eighth grade science
and girls P. E.
On our office staff, Mrs. Jan
ice Hicks is missing and missed.
She moved tn Fort Walton Reach,
Fla,, with her husband who took
a head coaching job there. Mrs.
Hicks is still working as a school
secretary.
Goodbyes to teachers and staff
members such as these are hard
to say. However, the very capa- (
ble teachers that have replaced •
them will certainly make our
school year enjoyable and profit- (
able. (

the Hi-Lites Staff have been get- ;
ling organized and back to their '
job of reporting on the activties
of Perry Junior High. Last year’s
seventh grade staff members and
a number of additions are al

and its section of The Home
Journal in a later issue. At pre
sent our staff is not complete.
Due to a schedule change, one
of our faithful advisers, Mrs.

CHEERLEADERS SELECTED
Last week was an exciting one
for more than fifty girls in Per
ry Junior High. They practiced
very hard every day for a week
lor cheerleading try-outs.
Many Senior High cheerleaders
gave their time and effort in in
structing the girls in their yells
and motions.
The climax came on Wednes
day, September 20, with the fin
al judging. There were two
judges frm the high school facul
ty who had to make some very
difficult decisions.
Everyone anxiously awaited the
announcement of which eight out
of the fifty-five girls were the
winners. Those finally selected
were: Seventh grade: Cay Chap
man, Sheila Pickard and Laura
Whipple; Eighth grade: Debra
Caw.hon, Sheila Bynum. Sheila
Griffin, Patty Dayton and Mis
sie Maggard.
The captain of the squad is
Missie Maggard and the co-cap
tain is Laura Whipple. They were
chosen by the girls themselves.
Any of the girls who tried out
would have made good cheer
leaders, but everyone can't be a
winner. Congratulations, win
ners; better luck next time, los
ers.
-LAURA WHIPPLE
PEP RALLY
An assembly program was held
Thursday, September 21, during
Sixth period. The program was
opened by Mr. Thompson, prin
cipal,
Mr. Mims, the boys phsical ed
ucation instructor and football
coach, introduced the football
players for the school year 1967-
68. All other boys who competed
for a position on the team were
asked to stand and be recognized.
A very educational but inter
esting film was shown on football
and physical training. Many pro
fessional players participated in
this film.
The newly-elected cheerleaders
were then introduced. They led
the group in several yells.
The entire student body of Per
ry Junior High School wishes to
congratulate the football players
and cheerleaders for their excel
lent work. God luck to both
squads in the upcoming year.
JUNIOR PANTHERS
With the beginning of school,
football practice also began. Al
though the number of boys prac
ticing has already been cut once,
there are approximately 65 boys
still trying out.
The team has learned the basic
fundamentals of football in the
past few weeks of practice. Al
though most of the eighth grad
ers have been through this be
fore, it is entirely new r to the
seventh graders.
When asked to comment on the
team, Coach Ray Mims replied,
"They have size but not much
speed.”
The schedule for Junior High
football games is as follows:
Dublin, Sept. 21, here, 4:30.
Vienna, Sept. 28, here, 4:30.
Cochran, Oct. 5, here. 4:30.
Vienna, Oct. 12, there, 4:30.
Dublin, Oct. 19, there. 6.
The Hi-Lites Staff would like to
encourage the student body of
Perry Junior High to back up our
football team by supporting them
and attending as many games as
possible.
Best luck to the football team
and Coach Mims in the coming
season.

DUBLIN DEFEATS P. J. H.
Last Thursday the Dublin Irish
invaded Perry to take on the Per
ry Junior High Panthers. The
game was played at the high
school football field.
Dublin won the toss and elect- .
ed to receive. During the first 1
half our boys played well: how
ever, the first half ended in a
0 to 0 tie. (
In the first of the third quarter ,
both teams handled the ball, j
Then near the end of the third
quarter Dublin capped a drive
with a touchdown. The extra j
point was good. That made it f
7 to 0, Dublin’s favor. In the ,
fourth quarter neither team
could do anything with the ball. ]
The final score was 7 to 0. s
Though our team suffered a ;
defeat, the game was well-play- i
ed, and the boys will profit from ;
its experience.
Mr. Mims and the team have
worked hard in the past few
weeks. Come to their next game ]
and support them. They deserve i
our appreciation: let’s express it
by our attendance.
