The Perri-Scope
WHO AM I?
I’m a red head who had a lot
to say,
Because of what I was in the
the other day.
There arc many jobs that I
do.
But most all of them deal
with you.
I am president of a certain
youth league,
That always helps people in
their need.
I'm in the “P” Club, Speech
Club and Annual Staff,
too,
Having these honors, I surely
must be true
To Perry High in her every
day whirl,
For soon, I must step into the
world.
Who Am I?

. . . the chicken or the egg? . . . Ever heard that question when
the origin or some event was in doubt?
No doubt, however, about the answer to this question ....
"Who brought electricity to rural America?"
It was the far-sighted organizers of the rural electric systems
like ours in this community who got together just a little over
20 years ago, borrowed money and built lines to serve them
selves and their neighbors . . . The money they borrowed
they're paying back, with interest, and this local business Ts a
dependable source of low-cost electric power - owned and
controlled by those it serves!
