As we come to the end of this journey and start down a new road in our lives, we want to stop and thank that “good company" which has helped us along the way those who have molded our lives and made us who we are, those who have picked us up when we have fallen, and those who have encouraged us to keep going no matter what. First, we thank our par ents. You gave us life. You have loved us uncondition ally when no one else did. You have stood by and up for us. You have provided for our needs and wants, even when we must have acted, at times, in a selfish and unappreciative way. Although, we don't always show it. we do love vou verv much. Secondly, we want to say "thanks" to our principal, Mr. Phil Smith. You have insured that we could go to school in a safe environ ment. You have expected and demanded the best from us, and you have been a strong leader who has cared deeply about us and our education. Thanks also goes to our teachers. You have poured your lives into ours and have taught us not only facts and figures but also how to think critically, how to get along with others, and how to discover ways to get information. And thanks to the custo dians, lunchroom workers, and other support staff. We appreciate very much all you have done to make our years at Perry High School memorable. Finally, we want to say thank you to our family and friends. You have made the happier times Chairman of the HCBOE; Pat Dawkins, HCBOE member; Terry Hedden.
