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.
