Election Times
Since elections are just ahead
on the schedule of the school
year, we should be giving serious
thought to our duty as students
of Perry High School.
Within the hands of the stu
dents rests the power to elect
anyone they desire as their class
c!iicers and representatives to
ihe Student Council. In electing
them, lei us consider these
things; the high standards set by
those who have serve;!, and the
fitness of the individual candi
date to what would be required
ol aim in office. Elect those wh,
you feel, will work long and hard
lor our school.
Os course, everyone likes an
officer with a warm, flashing
smile and a genuine sense of hu
mor—and we are not decrying
these charms—but there is more
to consider for leadership; and
we can have charm and conscien
liousness, 100. So, consider and
then choose for the best slate ol
ofticcrs Perry High School class
es and Student Council have ever
had—Let’s make ’6B great!
MAYNARD CLIFF

Thursday morning the Senior
Class met to nominate class of
ficers. Since this year’s class is

for whom they were voting. So
this year the nominations were
made, and then a week's inter
lude allowed during which the
students could meet, or consider
carefully, the candidates and
their qualifications.
Ihe nominees for president are
Charles Walker, Lynn Daniel,
Larry Hunt and Jeffrey Adkins.
those nominated for vice pre
sident are Linda Davis, Maida
Hasa.i i>e;.'ge McGintv Jane
Voseipka and Beth Tabor,
Karen Wright. Cathy Pierce,
Cathy Collier, and Martha Haw
kins are the candidates for se
cretary.

a;eve Conk. Rodney Lowe Randy
Chew, Lee St. John, and Mitzi
Mills, and Don Richerson.
The new officers will be elected
on special ballots during home

Alpha Zeta Meets
Alpha Zeta Tri-Hi-Y Club of
Perry High School began its new
year with one of the most en
thusiastic meetings ever.
With a group of girls who seem
ready and willing to do the job.
and a fine staff of officers, the
club goes forth with a strong
prospect of success.
The new officers are as fol
lows: president, Patsy Bynum;
vice president, Beth Tabor; chap
lain, Rena Rider; treasurer, Mar
ian Whitehurst; school projects
chiarman, Carroll Coley; com

This year’s club is honored to
have as its new advisor, Mrs.
McQuiag, a new member of the
faculty. We are happy to have
her and wish to express our grat
itude for her accepting the ad
vising position.
Rena Rider opened the meet
ing with an inspiring devotional
on friendship. She left us with
many new thoughts on making
and keeping friends. In commun
ity project discussion we decid
ed to make “Pep Pins’’ to pass
out to all adults at the next home
ball game hoping to stimulate
adult enthusiasm at games. Our
new school project will also be
centered around school spirit. All
games scores will be posted in
our lunchroom under a gigantic
Panther. Carroll Coley will be in
charge of this new project.
For World Service Project, it
was decided to hold a “Miss
Football” contest, voting to be
held during the next few weeks
at 1c per vote. Candidates are
Beth Bennett, Judy Pace, Jean
Martin, Beverly Roper, Lynda
Walker, and Caroldean McCloud.
We urge students and teachers to
cast their votes since all money
raised will be used in World
Service.
Beth Tabor closed the meeting
with a beautiful program, a
story written by Norman Vin
cent Peale.

Panthers Win, 34-7
The Perry Panthers once again
displayed their many talents last
Friday night when they defeat
ed the Jeff Davis Yellow Jackets,
34-7.
The first half of the game was
completely dominated by Perry.
The offense scored three touch
downs while the defense held
Jeff Davis scoreless. The Pan
thers’ first score came on a 65
yard run by David Belflower on
the first play from scrimmage.
Jerry "the Toe” Smith missed
the point after, his first miss ol
the season. Lee St. John scored
the second TD by running 30
yards and later quarterback Ed
Harley scored from 10 yards out.
Both extra points were good,
making the halftime score 20-0.
Jeff Davis came back fight
ing after halftime. They kept the
Panthers from scoring and made
their only TD in the third quar
ter. Their successful extra
point made the score 20-7.
The Panthers came back in the
last quarter with two more
touchdowns: one on an 8 yard
run by Lee St. John, and the
final score came on a pass from
Ed Harley to Lynward Barrett,
Smith split the upright both
times, making the final score
Perry Zt. Jeff Davis 7.
Halftime entertainment was
provided by the Panther band
as well as the Jeff Davis band.
A new group appeared with the
Perry band Friday night: the
Color Guard.
It was evident that Perry won’t
be lacking in cheerleading talent
for the next few years. The
ninth grade cheerleaders did a
great job, but it would be en
couraging to these girls if Perry
fans would join in the cheers
with more enthusiasm. Pep pays
off in more than touchdowns
So, come on, fans, let the cheer
leaders and the team know
you’re there!

Freshman Day
A visitor to the halls of Perry
High last Friday night might
have been astounded by the
strange goings-on.
It was reported htat on that
day, small forms of life (scum of
scum) were required to wear
“rat-hats” on their heads under
penalty of ? These
paper contrivances were decorat
ed with all sorts of trivia, in
cluding feathers, glitter, paint,
fiowers, confederate flags and
unexplainable phrases like.
“Sock it to me, Baby,” “Let it
all hang out,” and “Leader of
the Pack (Rats).”
These characters were not re
latives of our friends, Modine
and Maynard; they were only
the Freshman Class, all 200 of
them, and their homeroom tea
chers. The wearing of the hats?
only a performance in
augurated by the Perriscope staff
to recognize our “Youngest Mem
bers” with a hope that
Freshman Day will become a
PHS tradition.
Planning Caravan
BY PATSY BYNUM
The highlight for all the Perry
Y-Ciubs this week was the Pro
ject Planning Caravan, which
was held at our school.

Amis, Central West Office secre

Northeast District Director. Mr.

people attended Project Planning

It is wonderful to know that so
many young people are interest
ed in helping the slate of Geor
gia to have better Christian
young people.
After opening assembly, there
were classes for each oflicer of
the Hl-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs, and
also for the advisors. We then
viewed slides concerning Chris
tian Life Conference Officers'
Training Conference, and other
Y-Ciub work in Georgia. Several
students from PHS were featured
in the slides. Afterwards, the
meeting was adjourned and re
treshments were served.
The Project Planning Caravan
brought out a tremendous
amount of enthusiasm within the
V-Clubs in PHS, and we are
looking forward to a very pro
gressive year!
