The Perri-Scope
| s An Old Paper
The exact year of the beginning
e Pcrriscope is not known but it
L somewhere in the late 30’s,
in its earlier form, it was an eight-
Dage mimeographed copy sold
weekly for a nickel. This paper
was financed by ads from the lo
cal merchants. Barbara Whipple
was the force that made the early
issues of Perriscope successful. La
ter the newspaper was mimeo
graphed once ever two weeks.
" Around 1944, the mimeograph
ed sheet was discontinued and the
school news began its appearance
on a special page in the Houston
Home Journal. Since then Mr.
Cooper Etheridge, editor of the
Home Journal, has been so kind
as to give the Perriscope space
free for the school news.
In the past, Mrs. Margaret Mc-
Farland, Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Car
penter have been Perriscope advi
sors. At the present, Mr. Smith is
the advisor and Beverly Jacobs is
doing a fine job as editor.

School debated for the high

travelled to Warner Robins to play
their cross county rivals. They lost
a close decision, 48 to 43.
High scorer for Perry was Lee
Martin with 18 points. Francis
Marshall again led the Panthers in
rebounds and dropped in 12
points. The Demons, awed by
Boot Hunt’s scoring average, fig
ured if he didn’t get the ball he
wouldn’t score. They were right as
Hunt was held to his season’s low
of 3.
Odell Davis led Warner Robins
with 28 points, 22 of which came
in the last half.
This made Perry and Warner
Robins even for the year. They
play again in Perry on February
3.

Warner Robins girls at the home
game, February 3.

Holland Returns
Students and teachers of PHS
welcomed Mr. Frank Holland back
when he returned to school last
week. Not only did we miss him
in the classroom, but we also miss
ed the “man with his little black
book” on the bench at the ball
games.
We hope he does not think we
had forgotten him, but this is the
first time we have had Perriscope
since he has been back.
Welcome back, Mr. Holland.
WHO aml?
Perry High means a lot to me,
As you, in future years, will
see.
Many honors have come my
way,
I received one the other day.
I’m very busy with the load I
carry,
But I can always find time for
Larry.
I’m a freshman with friends
galore,
And by the time I’m out I will
have more.
Next year, I will be with the
band,
And make people happy all
over the land.

To make Perry High School

Yesterday; Less than 5% of our rural areas had electricity
. . . high production costs, low efficiency, darkness and
drudgery were things we lived with . . .
Today: Rural Electrification opened the largest new domes
tic market in the last 30 years . . . huge increases in effici
encies per farm worker came about . . . higher standards
of living emerged . . . the taxable base of local, state and
Federal governments has expanded due to the economic
stimulus of Rural Electrification . . .
Tomorrow: It's only the beginning . . . the future holds still
lower costs of production and still higher standards of liv
ing. And as our economy grows, your member-owned,
member-controlled electric cooperative will continue to pro
vide the great service for which it was organized by folks
right here in this community YOUR OWN dependable
source of low-cost electric power! , . .
Is Rural Electrification good for our community? You be the
Judge! . . .
