M '• ■’ Richard Harold Clay Clay will attend Boys State at GSU this summer By PAULINE LEWIS Staff Writer Richard Harold Clay of Perry, a rising senior at Houston County High School, will go to Boys State at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, June 12-18. Clay was nominated by his his tory teacher, Rebecca Gibson. Two students from each high school in Georgia will be named for this honor. Clay is the only Perryan at Houston County High School to receive this honor this year. He is the son of Harold Clay and Nelda Clay of Perry. During his ju nior year, he completed one year in AFJROTC and holds the rank of Cadet MSGT. He also completed courses in U.S. History, English, and one year in Band, playing bass drum. In Perry, he and his family are members of Perry United Methodist Church where he attends Sunday School and Youth Activities, and is a member of the church softball team. Clay’s hobbies are assembling models - of anything. For the summer vacation, he plans to rest some, and then get ready for his senior year in school. Thompson, from 4A 1996, but I didn’t really have any idea about what changes—if any-he might have in mind. And, I didn’t realize that instead of focusing strictly on defense, that part of the senator’s focus now seems to be shifting to another all important subject-the breakdown of the American family. Judis also indicated that he per sonally thinks running for U.S. President is not an option for Nunn, at least not in 1996, and that the job of secretary of state holds much attraction for him. I, myself, would like to see Sen. Nunn in the Oval Office, but if that just isn’t in the cards for 1996, then I agree with Judis that President Clinton would be wise to replace the current holder of this office— Warren Christopher-with our sena tor from Perry, Georgia. Christopher has been nothing short of irresolute and blundering, while Nunn-whose caution about getting the U.S. military involved in crusades and his insistence on matching military means to strate gic ends-would serve the U.S. well at a time when national and ethnic rivalries are creating constant temp tations to use American troops. But, whatever happens in 1996- whatever decision Sen. Nunn makes when the next election finally rolls around, I, personally, have one request And, that is that he slays in pub lic office. I don’t care which office, just as long as it’s in Washington. Certainly, the senator must sometimes long for a normal, ev eryday life, but, the simple fact is, if ever wt needed people of his great stature and demeanor in our nation’s capitol, it is now. — ~_ ■[ I I. A ‘ - W s I Cindy Collier, director of the Pregnancy Care Center, spoke to the Perry Exchange Club at their regular meeting this week.
