Marion Hay fills role at City Hall
Marion Hay has worn two city
caps since coming to Perry in
1977. He carries the dual responsi
bility of both City Manager and
City Clerk.
Hay's responsibilities encompass
managing the day to day operations
of managing city government. Hay
functions as the liaison between
Mayor Jim Worrall and City
Council and the departments which
carry out the mandates of both of
fices.
"I love it,” said Hay.
"We all work as a team. The city
is fortunate. It has an excellent
Mayor, fully qualified
commissioners and a top notch staff
support system."
Hay came to Perry fully qualified
to accept the responsibilities of his
position. A native of Albany, he is
a former graduate of Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College and
an alumnus of the University of
Georgia.
After graduation, Hay worked for
the Federal Government as an ad
ministrator for several years. He
then worked for the Georgia Area
Planning and Development Com
mission as a consultant to county
and city governments throughout
the state. He has also worked for
the Farmers Home Administration
as a County Supervisor. However,
Hay credits his Federal government
work for his diverse experience in
handling many of his present du
ties. It was while he was with the
Federal government that Hay says
he gained experience in budget
matters, operational grants and
general management skills. He was
appointed by the Mayor and City
Council in March of 1977 to his
present position as City Manager.
According to Hay, handling stress
is part of the job.
"I tend to strive for excellence,"
said Hay.
"My biggest stress comes from
the realization that, as a city, we
aren’t able to provide for all the
needs of the community as quickly
as we'd like.”
According to Hay, it is extremely
frustrating at times to realize
progress is a slow moving vehicle.
The nature of any large entity, es
pecially a city or a county, is that
all things come in time.
Hay and his wife, Marilyn, own
their own home within the city
limits of Perry. They purchased
their home shortly after moving to
the area. Marilyn currently works as
executive secretary for GTE-South.
Hay enjoys fishing, hunting, and
gardening. In his office, above his
desk, are mounted two beautiful
specimens of duck he bagged while
hunting in North Carolina.
"The biggest drawback of the job
is that it leaves little time for
hunting trips," said Hay.

City Mgr. Marion Hay
According to Hay, the future of
Perry is bright.
"We are at a strategic pivotal
point for growth in the state," said
Hay.
"We have the means to meet in
dustries needs such as a good trans
portation system and a strong solid
government dedicated to growth.
Best of all the quality of life in
Perry is as good, if not better than
any other area throughout the
state."
On March 17th, Marion Hay will
celebrate his 14th year as with the
city.
"I've enjoyed every minute of it,"
said Hay.
Letter, from 4A
every time you select a panel that is not equally represen
tative of all the participants. Also, you could present sec
ond and third place winners in other categories so that
more girls have a chance of being recognized. Each girl
could, and should, also receive a small trophy for the hard
work, determination and perseverance they go through .
The cost is minimal compared to the reward it gives the
girls in the terms of pride and feelings of self-wordi.
I realize that many blacks don't come out and participate
in the actual organizing and decision-making aspects of
school projects, and I'm not excusing that. That's a
travesty too. I've been to meetings at school where I was
the only black there. It's not a good feeling. But that's
another story. To punish their children for this is not only
unfair-it's down right cruel. It can only serve to the detri
ment of those who perpetrate it and to Perry in general.
I teach my children, starting early in their lives, about
this kind of prejudice that exists out there in the world
even in their own school's, and even among those who are
supposed to be their educators,their "Models".
I hope that I have prepared them well-enough that this
kind of action doesn't scar them for life. Some children are
not so fortunate.
I would say to all the black participants last Tuesday
evening: Hold your heads up high! Walk proudly, because
you deserve to. You were great. You were not the fail
ure— Perry High was.

"My wife and I have grown to
love the city as if we were natives."
The secret to Hay's success is,
"teamwork." "Everyone is impor
tant, said Hay. "From the Janitor
who sweeps up at night to the
Mayor. We all play a part in mak
ing Perry a better place to live."
The Houston Home Journal
salutes Perry City Manager Marion
Hay for his continuing efforts to in
helping the city move forward. We
public thank him and all city em
ployees for their contribution to a
cherished way of life.
