Therfi’s that big empty blackboard staring you in therface, just waiting for the first screechy letter. Being resourceful we can'tallow despair to set in, but look around for ways to improvise. A-ha!! Tucked away on the classroom book shelf is an Ouija board. The hands that we’ve been wringing are well heated and ready to go. The Ouija is moving slowly' toward th% word G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O^N—and Holmes and Chowan high school seniors are moving quickly in that direction. On May 20 Awards Day will be held in the Holmes High Gym. This day is much looked forward to by all, for K is then that students are honored for achievements during the year and recognized for ac complishments. Perhaps the rapst rewarding feeling at this time comes from the community participation, as clubs, organizations, and individuals present awards and scholarships to deserving students, re affirming their faith in education and the need for continuing education. This will also be the first day that sophisticated, but teary eyed seniors will don their caps And gowns as a group, and gain a deeper respect in the -eyes of their un derclassmen. Each year, regular ser vices are held as a part of graduation to honor seniors. Thi# year, in a spirit of ecumenical -fellowship, all seniors have been invited to attend the Providence Baptist Church on May 22 to • worship as a group. Once again fifty will have the chance to don their robes, which by now will be put on with. 8 feeling of impending change and responsibility.

Ouija predicts that there will be a full article on their much - looked - for ward to event in next week’s paper. Through the years, the Aces Athletic Association, the Holmes Booster Club, composed of interested citizens and athletic department has done so much for students and the school’s athletic program. At the end of each season, it goes one step further to publically recognize in dividual students for their school spirit and par ticipation in athletic events. The annual Spring Sports Banquet will be held on Monday, May 25 at 7 P.M. at the Jaycee Building. This event is open to the public. Tickets for a delicious supper may be purchased for $4 at school or from any AAA member. I hope lots of people will go, because it is important for students to have well wishers present when they receive recognition in an award. This banquet will honor the girls softball team, the boys baseball team, the boys tennis team, and the track team. This school year may be coming to an end, but plans are already being made for next year. To see groups working together and sharing ideas en thusiastically for students’ benefit really gives you a good feeling - and who does this more and for longer periods of time - time that parents and teachers P.T.A.S. have taken hold at White Oak, Walker, and > Svfftiq schools ,pv(sr. the pp& two years.

Sylvia Bunch, Glorius Elliott, Shelia White, and Annette Parrish were charged with the respective duties of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer for the 1977-78 school year during an in stallation ceremony. In inspirational devotional program presented by Mrs. Spencer’s and Mrs. Mit chell’s second grade students included a scrip ture reading by Michelle Krauss,; prayer by Maxine Twine, and singing by both second Grade groups. Valerie Winslow, a ninth Grade Chowan High student accompanied the group on the piano. On Tuesday night, D.F. Walker held their P.T.A. installation of new officers meetings, which was too late for this week’s paper. However, I understand parents were to be thoroughly entertained by Doug Ashton’s seventh Grade English students, who presented two one-act plays -a comedy dealing with a spendthrift wife and a romantic, comical farce. Teresa Forehand, Barry Baker, Rose Hawkins, Frank Parrish, Stephanie Hampton, Gordon Jethro, and Jamie Lane played the principal roles in these skits. Otis Strother, band director, is excited over the way his future band is stacking up. Last week 45 enthusiastic rising sixth graders signed up to be in the band. Choosing an in strument was the hardest part, as each child had visions of grandeur of becoming a future star. The Edenton-Chowan Band Parents Association is already making plans for ways to support new and old band students. At this last . meeting, .

Even though they don’t have a graduation to an ticipate, students in lower grades have looked forward to the end of the year “special” activities for a long time - usually in the form of an educational field trip. This week Mrs. Hollowell’s and Mrs. Byrum’s fifth graders at Swain went to the Marine Resource Center in Manteo. Mrs. Bissette’s fifth Grade Enrichment class students visited the Legislative complex in Raleigh, as did the Holmes National Honor Society students. Mrs. Banks’ fourth Grade students at White Oak, accompanied by Mrs. Sara Tynch, volunteer parent, toured historic Edenton. You really don’t have to go far to see what a marvelous heritage is right under your nose. Mrs. Walker’s and Mrs. Bond’s sixth Grade class at Swain relived a part of World War H at the Mc- Arthur Memorial museum in Norfolk last week and then went on to the zoo to watch the monkeys scratch and the snakes slither. . So many resources to give so many different ex periences - and so many people willing to help. On May 19, all first Grade students at White Oak will learn all about the county’s . volunteer Rescue Squad activities as Bennie Twine and Murray Ashley takes them through the facilities at Rocky Hock and in Edenton. These students will wind up their “special’ day” with a picnic lunch in Edenton’s waterside Colonial Park- Ouija Is trying to spell something, and the next Mttscs are C-H-A-L-K This month, April 6, marks the 00th anniversary of the U.S. entry into World War I.'
