drama with the church youth and
is heavily involved in the summer
youth camps.
Molly Tripp ! s teachers are
quick to recognize this outstand
ing individual. According to
Charles Stone, Senior English
teacher for the gifted, “Molly
Tripp approaches everything she
does with a high sense of commit
ment and a desire to excel. She
always develops a superior prod
uct whether it is the simplest or
most complex assignment”.
Lynn Asbury, psychology
teacher, said that Tripp’s strongest
attribute is her acceptance and
willingness to work with others.
“Molly is a very compassionate
girl who is very open and caring
toward others. She is one of the
most sincere and friendly students
at Perry High School. She bridges
lots of gaps, and she always goes
the extra mile to help others,”
Asbury said.
AP Biology teacher, Susan
Pierce, sees Molly as one of the
most well-rounded students she
has taught. According to Pierce,
“Molly is academically oriented
but also extremely compatible
with all types of students”.
Tripp plans attend either
Emory at Oxford of LaGrange
College. She is undecided about
career choice.
All of her accomplishments and
attributes make her Perry High’s
number one choice for Kiwanis
Student of the Year, a Perry
Kiwanis Club official said.
