day hold such special significance?
For Charlita Cecelia and
Chareba Donielle Cardwell, twin
daughters of Charles and Joan
Cardwell, it certainly did.
It was evident that something
was happening at 2917 Green way
Ave., Sunday, Sept. 17, as a motor
cade of cars gathered to journey to
Greensboro's Barn Dinner Theatre
for a night of gala celebration.
The Cardwell twins, bedecked
in after-five attire, were accompa
nied by 10 of their special friends
who helped them begin their 16th
birthday celebration in fine fashion.
Having enjoyed a delicious gourmet
meal prepared by the theater, the
twins and their friends sat in awe to

Ms. Mclntyre ended her win
ning essay with a poem:
"I know we're young and have
full lives to live,
Full of things we want to do
and ideas we have to give,
Sometimes it gets hard trying
to keep up with the crowd,
And at the same time, trying to
keep our parents proud.
But there are ways we coil
cope, we don't have to belittle our
selves by turning to dope.
For when we abuse drugs we
abuse ourselves, too,
And I'm here to say there's
something better to do .
Find that friend with whom
you can connect.
Instead of doing something
you surety will regret.
Please don't take the coward's
way out.

For with drugs you'll add to
the problem,
But without drugs , it will be
much easier to solve them"
