In March of 1992, Perry Local Schools’ Board of Education authorized the con- cept of the Perry Pirate Booster Club. The Club selected a committee and devel- oped the guidelines for how the Hall of Fame would be established. The policies and procedures were approved by the Booster Club in the spring of 1992. A committee and public nomination procedure was put into place during the fall of 1992. In January of 1993, 65 individuals qualified to be placed on a ballot for voting by the committee. The first induction class of 21 former Perry athletes, coaches, or community contributors was selected in May of 1993 after receiving sufficient votes for induction. Since its inception, the Hall of Fame committee has inducted a total of 97 athletes, administrators, coaches and two teams. It is our hope that Perry’s Athletic Hall of Fame not only honors the accomplish- ments of our inductees, but also serves to inspire future Perry High students to aspire to the accomplishments of those Hall of Famers who have built the fine tradition of Perry Athletics. DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME HISTORY n the spring of 2001, the Perry Board of Education established The Distinguished IAlumni Hall of Fame to honor former students of Perry High School whose lives are exemplary for both their career accomplishments and their contributions to the well being of others. They have been selected because they have distin- guished themselves in their field of study, career or community service. In addi- tion, these individuals will serve as an inspiration to the students of Perry Local Schools, encouraging them to live their dreams and to pursue personal excellence in all future endeavors. The members of the charter committee of the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame began their work early that year. Their task was to establish the policies and pro- cedures that would guide the future selection of all Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame inductees. These members were nominated by the Board of Education and represented a cross-section of school and community members. After determining the nominating criteria and process, the final task of the Charter Committee was to recommend individuals to serve on the Selection Committee. This committee was also comprised of a diverse cross-section of people including representatives from the Perry Board of Education, the Perry Historical Society, school administration, staff, students, and community. 5 RICK AMOS Class OF 1968 ick Amos is a 1968 graduate of Perry High School where he began his career as a leader Rand involved citizen.

We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

    AFL licensed product also maintains its position as Australia’s number one licensed sports brand with retail sales of more than $150 million in 2006. HISTORYHISTORYHISTORY In 1857, a young man named Tom Wills returned to Australia after going to school in England where he was football captain of Rugby School and a brilliant cricketer. In 1858, Wills was appointed the Secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club, and he published his now famous letter suggesting that cricketers should keep fit in the winter by playing football. Given the oval shape of cricket grounds, a different style of football game was required to that normally played on rectangular fields. Hence, this new game was devised by Wills, his cousin H.C.A. Harrison, W.J. Hammersley and J.B. Thompson. The Melbourne Football Club was formed on August 7, 1858, the year of the code’s first recorded game between Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar School.

    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.
