[ Staff Photo by Don Stith ] Central University Coach Is Speaker At John Graham High Athletic Banquet By DON STITH High school athletes of John Graham were tolfi that academics should rank above athletics "by North Carolina Central Head Football Coach W. S. Smith at the annual sports banquet held last Wednesday night in the JGHS gym. Over 200 athletes, parents and guests attended the affair that honored all participants of athletics at John Graham. Academics above athletics was stressed by Coach Smith as he told the students about a few of his past experiences in the classroom and sports arenas. "To begin with, who cares that I was once an All-American, that I lettered in three sports at West Virginia State? Nobody, indeed if anyone remembers at all," Smith said. "Playing athletics is super but winning in the classroom should always come first." "Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, one day you'll put on your uniform for the last time and that's when you enter an entirely different world. Running touchdowns or scoring baskets won't count. What will count is your education," he said. Some of the accomplishments that Coach Smith has recorded since accepting the coaching position at Central include a conference championship, one second place finish and two third. Letters for sports were given to athletes that earned them during the past season by their respective coaches. Coach Jerry Willard commended Victor Harrison, ,sophomore, for being the only student at John Graham to |i letteog|>is j»e«r in four sports—jayvee basketball and football, baseball and track. The former Hawkins Junior High performer was also named the most valuable player on the jayvee basketball team. This year's recipient of the "Rookie of the Year" award, given to the Hawkins athlete that plays at least two sports (excelling in both) at the feeder school for the Yellow Jackets was given to Melvin Robinson. Robinson played a forward on the Patriots cage squad and was tapped for the quarterback position last season when both the starting and second team passers were injured. He lead Hawkins to an undefeated season in football. Jerry Abbott, a local landscaper and statistician for the boys' and girls' basketball teams as well as the Yellow Jacket football squad, was named "Booster of the Year" for his "unselfish dedication to athletics at John Graham." Following tradition, captains for next season's football team were named. Brownja Alston and Darryl Lyles were named by Frazier as co-captains.

Rookie of the Year Jerry Abbott Melvin Robinson Bromeiiads Make Good Low-Care House Plants House plants occupy such an important place in the overall scheme of American life that you will likely find them in most homes. If your's is one of the exceptions, you may want to give plant growing a try. Even if you've tried in the past and failed, don't give up. Possibly you were trying to grow one of the more difficult specimens. The next time try something that requires little care, such as Sansevieria, sometimes called the "mother-in-law tongue" or rattlesnake plant. TPhilodendron will also survive under the stress of growing indoors, which is described as one of the most difficult places to grow plants by Henry J. Smith, extension landscape horticulturist at North Carolina State University. "What's warm enough to be comfortable to us often is too warm for the plant, and the same holds true in cooling in the summer," Smith says. "But there are exceptions," he adds. Bromeliads are plants attracting a lot of attention these days, partially for their ability to survive and do well inside. Smith says they are adapted to many indoor locations and offer a wide variety of sizes, shapes, foliages and flower color. Bromeliads are "cousins" of the gray Spanish moss that grows on some trees in coastal areas. They attach themselves by special roots but are not a parasite like mistletoe. They take no food or nourishment from the tree itself. One of the unique features of most bromeliads is the vase-like shape of their leaves, resembling pineapple plants. Where the leaf joins the main stalk, it forms a cup which holds water. To water the plant, all you do is pour water into the leaf "vase." This way, you don't have to guess when the plant needs watering. If there is none in the "vase," you add a little. There are nenrlv 2 000 species of bromeliads. The thick, leathery leaves may be plain, variegated or with a saw-toothed edge. Size of plants ranges from very small grass-like plants to enormous forms which have leaves several feet tall. Leaf color varies from deep green and purple to gray, pink and even brilliant red. Blooms may arise from the "vase" or be borne within it. Actual flowers are often small but very colorful. However, the showy part is the brilliantly colored bracts borne below each flower somewhat similar to the poinsettia.

WATSON Operators must report planted acreage of all program crops on all farms. This includes tobacco, cotton, peanuts, wheat, corn, barley and grain sorghums. The operator of a farm is that person listed as operator on ASCS records and received the mail for the farm. No tenent, sharecropper or cash renter can certify or report for the farm unless a "Power of Attorney" form or a written authorization has been filed in our office giving them this authority. Barley and wheat must be reported before harvest. Corn and Grain Sorghum must be reported after planting but before September 1. Failure to report wheat and feed grains will mean a zero planted acreage credit and the farm will be ineligible for 1977 low yield payments. These planted acreage reports are also needed in the event a set-aside program is implemented for the 1978 crop year. Failure to report in 1977 will mean the farm will be ineligible for possible program payments in 1978. Peanuts and cotton must be reported by July 15. Operators will be asked to furnish the names of persons who have an interest in the peanuts produced on the farm, and the other farms in which each person has an interest. Peanut farmers should be sure they are planted within the farm allotment. Failure to report peanuts will result in zero planting credit and full rate of penalty. Failure to report cotton acreage will make the farm ineligible for a low yield payment or yield adjustment. Tobacco must be reported by June 14. Failure to report or planting above 110 percent of the effective allotment will mean no price support for the farm. All operators must report crops on a field by field basis and state the use to which the crop has been or will be put. All farms are subject to a compliance check. The office will be closed May 30 to observe Memorial uu y. Merit Exams Are Necessary Merit examinations must be passed before a person is eligible for employment in any agency under the North Carolina Department of Human Resources.
