As each day of fourth quarter flies by, we get just a little bit closer to the end of the year, which always brings us many new and great things. The end of a school year will not just bring summer, but will also give us a new school yearbook and a new class for, yet another successful graduation at Perry.

When the fourth quarter begins, at the end of March, students are so anxious that they can hardly stop moving with excitement. The fact is students just simply cannot wait to receive that new 2011-2012 yearbook and flip through the pages looking for silly and sometimes serious photos of them and their friends, and who knows; maybe there will be a page starring you.

Along with the yearbook, thanks to assistant principal, Heather Patterson, we have a confirmed a date, time, and location for the 2011-2012 graduation. Graduation this year is at the John Wrenn Stadium on the Perry campus, May 30 at 7:30 p.m., which means that the wait for the seniors is almost over.

Along with that, this year at Perry, there will be two valedictorians for graduation unlike any other year. The valedictorians for the graduation ceremony will be seniors, Jessica Resnick and Brooke Hudson, whom received the news of becoming valedictorians earlier this year.

Along with the coming graduation, comes the new 2011- 2012 yearbook. The yearbook staff will release the yearbook on May 16 and will have it available for pickup all week in room C117. Yearbook will not only be giving one chance to get a yearbook, but two.

The yearbook staff will also be hosting a viewing party for those interested in getting their yearbook a week earlier than the other students get on campus. The viewing party will take place in the cafeteria on May 9 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will cost $3 for admission.

However, if you have not yet purchased, do not fret because yearbooks are still available for purchase on jostens.com or in the bookstore for $70. Hurry though, because yearbooks are selling faster than lemonade on a hot summer day.
