Perry High School Senior Russ Forde
TEEM OF THE WEEK
Russ Forde’s Goal In
Life: ‘Just Be Happy’
A typical Friday or
Saturday night for Perry
High School senior
Russell Forde and his
friends is spent cruising
Sam Nunn Boulevard,
circling McDonald’s,
Hardee’s and eventually
coming to rest at the
Sonic Drive-in. ‘‘Yes, I
guess you could call that
the latest hangout for
teenagers. It’s the only
place for everyone to
meet, sit around, talk and
listen to music. There’s
really nothing else for us
to do in Perry.”
The 18-year-old
featured teen believes
that Perry is long
overdue for some type of
recreation for young
people and he speaks
out. ‘‘Since I’ve been
here, Perry has done
nothing for teenagers. I
strongly believe that we
need some kind of
recreation center or
maybe a bowling alley
with a place for us to
gather. It would keep kids
off the street and some of
them out of trouble. I
know that most of the
kids in Perry feel the
same way.”
