These are just a few of the
comments coming from
some of the fifty juniors and
seniors at Chowan and John
A. Holmes High schools
-taking part in the “Part D”
Occupational Education
program.
• “Part D”, as it is com
monly known, is an
exemplary occupational
education project written
three years ago for the
purpose of providing
students the opportunity to
explore the teacher aide
occupation and reedve ac
tual classroom training.
Federally funded for 338,000
this year, the project is
unique in that students
receive one hour’s course
credit and are paid the
minimum wage for one hour
of work performed as ar
teacher’s aide.
According to Rob Boyce,
project director, 27 students
from John A. Holmes and 23
students at Chowan, are
participating this year. For
the first six weeks of school,
these juniors and seniors
received two-hour daily
classroom instruction.
During this time, they were
instructed in the areas of
human relations and child
development, as well as in
practical areas such as
preparing lesson plans and
making attractive bulletin
boards.
Three years ago when
“Part D” was first iniated,
teachers were somewhat
dubious about having
student aides in their
classroom. “Now, Boyce
stated, ” there are not enough
students to fill the teachers’
requests for them. After
three years the project has
proven itself beneficial on
three levels—for the Part D
students, to the teachers,
and to the regular
classroom students.”
“Part D” students from
Chowan High work as
teacher aides at White Oak
School and in Chowan’s
elementary grades. Holmes
students serve as aides at E.
A. Swain and D. F. Walker
schools. While receiving
their on-the-job training
from classroom teachers,
these students perform just
about all of the duties
performed by the regular
teachers. “Part D” students
give individual math and
reading tutorial aid to those
needing'help and perform
clerical duties connected
Sactloi I
with teaching. Some
students, who are talented
and interested in special
areas, concentrate only in
those areas, such as in art
and physical education at
White Oak, where there is no
formal program provided.
A project evaluation
process goes on con
tinuously now that students
are actually receiving on
the-job training. Once each
month participatng students
meet with the project
director to re-evaluate their
work. Boyce also observes
each student as he works
and meets with the teachers
to discuss the students’
progress, ways to improve
the program and evalute the
benefit of both.
Boyce sees the key to the
program as that which
“gives students the chance
at a better awareness of
themselves, more con
fidence in themselves, and a
feeling of self importance.”
“These students receive
excellent training and are
given an avenue for finding
their future”, he further
added.
This year is the last for
this phase of the Occupation
Education Project, which
was originally funded for
three years.

FESTIVE SEASON—24, 25, 26 little Indians and one Pilgrim in Mrs. Gail Jones Fernandez’s kindergarten at D. F.
Walker School “gobbled” and “war-whooped” their happiness as they made preparations for the Thanksgiving season.
Becoming familiar with the Thanksgiving story, learning the meaning of Indian signs, making fruit and construction
paper turkeys, making their own Indian and Pilgrim costumes, and constructing a real tee-pee were part of the activities
in which these enthusiastic youngsters were engaged the lesson of sharing was well learned as evidenced in the top left
photo. At left, Rhonda Sawyer, Pilgrim, shares her abundance with Indian chief, Kevin Simpson, as Wayna Rountree and
Andrew Cox observe in agreement. The right photo reveals a group of happy costumed Indians anticipating the
celebration of Thanksgiving Day. -—'
Early Shopping,Mailing Urged
This year the Edenton
Chamber of Commerce has
joined the Postal Service in
a combined effort to en
courage the public to shop
and mail early for Christ
mas, according to Post
master James M. Bond.
“The Christmas shopping
season is now open in
Edenton and many of the
final overseas military
mailing deadlines fall due
before the end of this
month,” Postmaster Bond
said. “The deadlines this
year vary according to
different parts of the world.
Specific information can be
obtained by calling the
Edenton Post Office. The
important thing to remember
is do your shopping early
and mail your cards and
parcels early.”
Postmaster Bond also
points out this year’s
suggested domestic
deadlines to assure on-time
delivery for Christmas are
December 3 for parcels and
December 10 for cards and
letters. “By cooperating
with these deadlines, the
public will give the post
office adequate time for
processing and delivering
their cards and parcels to
their destinations in plenty
of time for Christmas,”
Postmaster Bond said.
“Once your Christmas
shopping is complete,” he
said, “you should take the
