| The 1950's in Perry for me were right out of a movie. It
was Main Street USA! The students of PHS still walked after school to the corner drugstore downtown
for cherry cokes and chatter. Sock hops and basketball made for Friday night
entertainment, Saturdays for movies at the Muse and Sundays for church and MYF or BTU. In 1955 I was only 8 years old but still many of the names of that graduating class at PHS are familiar. With- out TV idols, younger kids in those days "looked-up" the high 'schoolers' and teachers often called attention to those one might wish to emulate in studies and deportment. Sam Nunn's name was mentioned often by his former teachers. As early as my fourth grade year, I remember hearing, "Now that Sam Nunn is a fine boy! Takes his studies seriously". Sam would eventually become a distinguished United States Senator from Georgia. Greatness shows up early I reckon. |
