Porky, an unfortunate
little pig who early in life
donated his body to the study
of science, is again at rest in
the freezer in Mrs. Bran-
stetter's room.
Porky came to Perkins
about 3 weeks ago and spent
his first few days here being
dissected by 5th grade
student teacher Belinda
Beams science class. They
were studying the digestive
system at the time.
Then after a brief rest in
the freezer, Porky again
served humanity when Mrs.
Branstetter's physiology
class dissected his brain
during their study of the
nervous system.
This experiment took place
right after lunch and some of
the students had to rely on
Alka Seltzer to get them
through the ordeal.
Porky, however, remained
serene during the whole
affair and is taking a well
deserved rest in the freezer
until science needs him
again.
Anybody studying the
squeel?

Yearbook Assembly
A Success
The Yearbook Class held
an assembly on Thursday
December 8 to encourage
students (6-12) to order their
'78 yearbooks.
The class showed slides
and Allan Wall gave a
humorous running commen-
tary. Slips for reserving
annuals were passed out to
all the students. No money
was taken that day, but will
be collected Tuesday, Dec.
13. Papers were also filled
out for Who's Who, which
will be in the new yearbook.
Grade school students will
be ordering their yearbooks
in the near future and
parents will be notified of the
date.
The yearbook assembly
was'a big success as a great
number of annuals were
ordered

Band News
"La Raspa?", but Frank Murray who
spent many years in Mtxico is the only
one who put the 'authentic accent on the
question. The couples left to right: Ron
Baker and Penny Rozean, Frank Murray
and Donna Saunders, Robert Reynolds
and Treva Gilbreth, Jerry Terry and
Debbie Colvin.
The Spanish class at PTHS
has now learned to dance the
"La Raspa". There have also
been sounds of singing
coming from Mrs. Platt's
room second hour. The
music sounds American but
the words are Spanish. Such
songs as "Erus Tu", Love
Story (Historia de un amor).
The class has learned to tell
time in Spanish, talk of the
weather, tell where they live,
and about their families.
The Spanish class consists
of Perri Ahhaity, Ron Baker,
Donna Brake, Beth Branstet-
ter. Debbie Colvin. Sherry

strictly of Spain, Mexico or
Puerto Rico.

The Perkins-Tryon March-
ing Band literally froze
December 8 as they marched
through town in the Santa
Claus Parade. The valves
and slides on the horns froze
in place and had to be
unstuck forcibly. Besides the
coldness, the band had a
very good time and hopes
everyone else did.
The band also had a good
time at the Cushing Christ-
mas parade December 10.
Two other bands participated
in that parade. They were
the Cushing High School
Band and the Cushing
Middle School Band. P-T
Band won first place. Since it
was during the day, it wasn't
as cold as it was at Perkins,
but still it was cold enough.
The clarinet section is
featured this week. It
consists of Dena Kirby, Lisa
Webb. Tammy Downey, Kim
Taylor, Jody Pitts, Gaye
Lyle, Rhonda Burten, Re-
donda Dodson, Sharyl Bick-
ell and Dayna Hughes.

FHA LEARNS DIET TIPS
The FHA members had a
meeting Monday, December
5, 1977. A guest speaker,
Janice Williams, gave sev-
eral tips about dieting. Some
of them were: "Diet with a
friend so it will be more fun.
Never crash diet. Have a
goal so that it will be
easier." Mrs. Williams also
handed out pamphlets about
exercising to keep firm.
After the guest speaker,
Ginger Sadler led the girls in
some songs and Dena Kirby
dismissed the meeting.

their first annual Christmas
Gong Show last Thursday.
The show was very entertain-

perfect scores. One came
from Angle Doyle and Teresa
Womack as Michael and
Cindy. Brian Kenney was the
winner as he drummed
through "Jet Airliner".
