The 1999 Graduates of Perry High School t Dustin Weir * ■■f Shakila Whitfield mew M ffii Margie Wise PHS Class President Kitchens offers ideas to class, underclassmen By Kit Kitchens ™§..§«Sgi L &A?» Pmsidkht Good morning faculty and administration, stu dents, and honored guests, and welcome to the 1999 Honors Day Ceremonies at Periy High School. My name is Kit Kitchens and I am the President of the Class of 200-plus seniors, but also 200-plus success stories. Within the next two weeks we will graduate and move on to bigger things, but the only way we got to where we are is through the teachers and administration here and through the support of parents and other loved ones. Our message today is that of gratitude for all of the leadership, guidance, and hope the teachers and counselors here have given us. As we look toward our future, it’s almost impos sible to imagine how we could’ve gotten here without their help. As freshman, we walked into this school knowing only we were going to be with people who were older than us, and as far as we knew it, probably meaner and tougher than we’d ever seen before. With the teachers’ help, we learned the ropes of this school quickly and that allowed ne,fi (fradiates t cue 'reproudofiuouj Preakfatt Wfet served Wy Wfet i/gt?

Mil the nervousness to go away and it let the memories begin. When we look at why the teachters fanct when I say teachers, I mean fac ulty and administration) have had such an impact on our years here, we notice their teaching of course, but to us it’s more than that. Some of us here con sider our teachers friends and when we leave, we won’t miss the homework (trust me) but we will miss their com pany and the support they have given us. Teachers have a lot of responsibility now days. It seems they have to be educators as well as psy chiatrists and, in some cases, even law enforce ment. It takes a lot of guts to get up every day and make a lasting impres sion on a young mind. They deserve more recognition than ever for the jobs they do. The members of the senior class of 1999 would like to personally thank the teachers for all they do and we would like them to know that even though we don’t tell them every day how K 1 i Eric Wellirer Kelly Williams fl|p£ y Mickey Yansom appreciative we are, we are more thankful for your support than anything throughout our jJHB four years. Si Now, for the Wr underclassmen. gjjMr I guess I should tell you about the importance of study ing, getting your home work down bn time, not *tttii!#£*to the dfcfct minute, and never quit ting. Our advice to you is ultimately to stick with it. Times may seem rough now, but in the end, it’s all worth it. The most important thing we have to say to you is that it’s important to make your years memorable. We’re not saying com promise the grades for fun, because we all know that failing isn’t exactly the funnest thing in the world, especially when your parents ground you for it and you can’t go out on the weekend. What we are saying, is make your high school years full of memories and good times. All of us have wonderful memo ries of things we did. Some have fond mem ories of the band, playing football, going to basket ball games, being in FFA, FBLA, Arrive Alive, and other various clubs. Get involved, have fun, and enjoy it while it lasts, because trust us, the ride doesn’t last for ever. Thank you.
