Newspaper Page TextWednesday, Sept. 11, 1996, Houston Times-Journal Page 4B X, l; i Perry High students to hold prayer rally at flag pole Sept . 20 By Jj JOHNSON Times-Journal Editor Students at Perry High School are expected to join other stu dents from around the country rallying at their school flag poles early Sept. 20. According to Charlie Walker, Perry High counselor and spon sor of the Prayer Club, as many as 100 students are expected to attend the 7:30 a.m. rally at the main flag pole on campus. “Last year we had about 70 students. Many are members of the Prayer Club on campus. Others are simply active in their churches in the community,” Walker said. Because the event is hosted by and sponsored by students, Walker is serving simply as an advisor to the group. Giving him a helping hand is Bobby Nix, minister of Christian education at Perry First Baptist Church. “We simply serve to advise them in this effort,” Nix said. “They plan the program, which includes a brief gathering to offer prayer for the school, the students and the administration.” T”""' - 1 ■■'''':'ni f JjLv i. v r '' yWa 1 ?
