November 21-27, it con
tinued to uphold the
qualities which caused it to
be dubbed “The Most Civic
Minded DECA Club in the
State” in 1976-77, to have
received the Rose’s Three
Star Award for being one of
the most active clubs in
North Carolina and to have
been selected as a state
representative to the
National Convention in
California last Spring.
The most recent honor for
the group came during the
District V Leadership
Conference at Currituck
High School op November 8.
At this time Melvin Lane,
Jr., was elected president of
the District I DECA Club,
which is comprised of clubs
from 14 schools. As the new

and 19 in Greensboro in
preparation for his duties.
As president, Melvin will
conduct all district meetings
and represent District I in
all state DECA functions.
He is presently employed at
Rose’s in Edenton.
Active local interest in
DECA has extended beyond
the high school boundaries.
The John A. Holmes DECA
Alumni Club was organized
recently by former high
school members interested
in sponsoring a supportive
organization. Blake Harmon
is chairman of the new
board of directors, which
also included Bob Partin,
Kathy Dean, Ricky Mize,
and Gail Mize.
The present function of
the organization is to keep in
touch with the Holmes
DECA Club and serve in a
helpful capacity. The new
board has planned several
social activities for the
remainder of the school
year. Interested in joining?
Contact any member of the
board for further in
formation.
There are three parts to
the Distributative

the Distributative
Education program .at
Holmes, is proud of the
students accomplishments.
Dowd is quick to point out
that “not only are par

preparation for instruction
of higher learning, but these
students are also prepared
to enter the work force and
to advance to management
positions quicker as a result
of the program.”

Health Effects
School Grades
Is your child having
trouble keeping up his or her
grades in school?
The American Medical
Association points out that
there may be a physical
reason for the poor record.
Does the child squint,
strain, rub his eyes or
complain that they hurt,
water or itch? Does he hold
his book very close to his
face when he reads? Has it
been some time since his
last eye examination? He
may have defective vision.
He may not be able to read
the teacher’s notes on the
blackboard.
Does he often ask you to
repeat a question or
statements? Does he
sometimes miss, or seem to
miss, a point made in a
movie or on television by the
spoken word? Does he turn
his head to one side as he
listens? He may have
defective hearing. It might
be as simple as impacted
wax in the ears, which can
be removed by your
physician in a simple office
procedure. Os course, the
inattentive child may have
no hearing problem at all.
Children know we will
repeat the question or in
struction, thus encouraging
a habit of not listening.
Has he had an infection,
disease or accident whose
effects may be lingering on?
Is there a possibility that
poor nutrition may be
holding him back? He may
be eating considerable
quantities of food and still be
undernourished, if be eats
' improperly, or if his tastes
i in food are too limited.
If your child isn’t per-
I forming properly in his
\ school work, ask yourself
[ whether it is time for an
I examination to determine
I whether his problems are

CONTEST WINNERS Top winners in a poster contest
with a dental related theme are pictured here. Left to right
are: Ira Bonds, third place; Kenneth White, first place; and
Penny Rogerson, second place. They are students in Mrs.
R.S. Spender’s second grade class.
Mobile Dental
Unit On Campus
The students at White Oak
Elementary School have
had a mobile Dental Unit
from the Albemarle District
Health Department located
on their campus this year#
During the month of
October, Sarah Ferrell
Campbell, proposed a poster
contest among the students.
The theme of the contest
was, “A Halloween Search
For Mr. Plaque.”
The Poster Contest was
fun, and easy for the
students because they are
now very conscious of Mr.
Plaque, and the awful things
he can do to one’s teeth,
thanks to the wonderful
help, and information
they’ve been receiving from
Dr. Elrod, and his staff.
The winners from Mrs.
R.S. Spencer’s second grade
classroom were: Ira Bonds,
third place; Kenneth White,
first place; and Penny
Rogerson, second place.
