Perry City Councilman
Gordon Scarborough, Jr., ran

not want a street light in front

he presented a proposal to
City Council recommending
the installation of six new

When Scarborough read off
the locations he had studied
for new street lights at the
regular term of City Council
Tuesday night, one of the
locations was on Moreland
Avenue, the street where the
Mayor lives.
“Take that one off the list,”
McKinley said, “1 don’t want
the city putting a street light

don't want to be criticized for
it.”

The golden era of the “fifties” returned to Perry last Saturday night, at least
for a while, as the Sogadera Club was host to a “fifties party” for the Idaho
Club of Perry. Shown here are the jitterbug contest winners. From left, Jody
and Ann Mail and Carol and Jerry Horton. The fifties dance was held at the
Perry Country Club.
This is how some higu „*„dents dressed back in the fifties. Mrs.
Janice Walker and Ray Griffin won first place for the best costume at the
Sogadera Club’s fifties dance given in conjunction with the Idaho Club of
Perry. The dance was held at the Perry Country Club and members of both
clubs and their husbands all dressed for the occasion in the styles that were
popular in the fifties.
