a big smile, "I can't believe
itf I never dreamed of being
Queen1"
Ginger laughed when
asked if her family was
excited about her being
picked as Queen. "I thought
I was going to scream before
I got to tell them because
without their support in all
my activities and without the
blessing of the Lord, it never
would have been possible."
Ginger, a senior, has
attended Perkins.Tryon
School all her life. She
intends to enter OSU after
graduation. "I want to major
in elementary education; I
really want to teach third
grade," .mused Ginger.

When asked about her

Juniors Sell
magazines
by Tracy Cundiff
The Junior Class is selling
magazine subscriptions as a
fund raising project to help
with the expenses of the
Junior-Senior Banquet and
Prom. This project is one
which is done every year by
the Juniors and is usually
very successful.
On Thursday, September
15, Mr. Allen Butler came to
the High School to talk to
the Juniors and explain how
the fund raising project
works and give helpful sales
tips.
The Junior class will be
selling subscriptions to 234
different kinds of magazines.
With such a large variety, we
should be able to please
everyone. The sale will go on
until October 3, which is only
a little over 2 weeks away.
Please plan to support the
Juniors with their project by
renewing your subscription
or buying new ones. Thank
you.

Band present and prepar
by Tommy Hughes and
Bob Reynolds
alias Woodward and
Bernstein
Everything went well at
the Old Settlers' Day
Celebration as most of the
bystanders were surprised to
see two strange bands
pounding the pavement. For
those of you in the dark,
those other bands were
Shilder and Sand Springs.
How did it go?
To begin with, some
people came from a couple of
blocks while some had to
come from S miles out and
more. We met at the band
room at 3:30 and milled
around until 3:45, at which
time we walked to French
Street and on to Main Street.
Half the band went on to
Chantry, but were easily
corrected. Then we stood
around in our black woolen
sweat suits before stepping
off to the beat of "Fin-
landia", marching less than
the distance to the band
room !
donna Bostian wins the
medal for the missing
music--it's surprising how
much you can learn so quick
when you lose your music
during a parade and can't
pick it up. "Maybe it won't
be this hot at the OSU
Homecoming," Mr. Taylor,
world renowned band direc-
tor, is quoted as being
quoted.
At the Prague game we
marched our "half-time
show" before the game
because it was their home-
coming. But this left us free
to yell our throats hoarse at
the halftime, as we led 14-12.
Because the Screamin'
Demon Stage Band won state
over Prague, they were out
to get us. The rivalry
between bands is harder to
judge than between football
teams, so we can only rely on
what fans say for reassur-
ance. But the band could not
have been more behind the
team last Friday night at
Prague. While we may have
tied them in total sound, our
balance and style were vastly
superior.
A lot of credit is due the
Perkins crowd as they voiced
their Pride and Support to
the team. Many seemed
rather to want to voice
opinions of the referees.
We'll skip over that, though.
We should be doing a
great injustice to a multitude
if we didn't talk about the
sideline coaches; those who
know what should have been
done, when it should have
been done, how they should
have gone about it(after it
already had been done, of
course).
But no game is without the
support of all those above
mentioned, as well as the
pep club, cheerleaders,
team, coaches, and referees.
Many people get mad
because of missed calls and
bad calls of referees. They're
only human, and are bound
by heredity to make mis-
takes. Coaches are the same.
They make many good
decisions, but are only
remembered for the bad
ones they make. Everything
they do is for a reason. You
can't say "They" did it.
"They" only refers to the
opposing teams. Everything
done, good or bad, is for the
team, for "us" or "we".
"We" win games. Cleodis
Foozle can't make a touch-
down without 10 other guys
out there to help him. If he
played against l l opposing
players, I could tell you who
would win.
We might also add that
Myron Reynolds is the Band
Voice at the ball game, the
great Guru does not an-
nounce us.
We have only one band
member in football -- Tim
Hallman. Go, Tim, Gel
See you next Friday
against Yale.

A question has been raised
about the area on the school
grounds that has been
requested by the student
council to be designated as a
smoking area. For those not
familiar with the situation
some of the background
information might be appro-

In past years the school
has had a policy of
prohibiting smoking on
campus. This has resulted in
several students smoking on
private property adjacent to
the school grounds as well as this recommendation had

is preferable to trespassing

property and sneaking
