Miss Lopez During Assembly Program
Returning Nicaraguan
Student Is Honored
A special assembly for
Roselourdes Majia Lopez of
Chinandega, Nicaragua,
John Graham's exchange
student for the year, was
held on her last day of
school, Friday, May 28.
Ms. Dottie Davis, president
of the Student Council,
began the assembly with
well wishes to Rosa in all
her adventures from the
student body.
Ms. Elaine Tunstall,
president of the senior class
praised Rosa as being "one
of the best exchange
students" at John Graham.
She remarked that Rosa's
friendly personality had
made her a real friend to
many of the students and
that she would be missed by
everyone.
The John Graham Choir,
under the direction of Mrs.
Glendora Powell, sang
"Day By Day," a favorite
song of Rosa's.
Bob Marlin, homeroom
teacher, included incidences
in his association with Rosa,
adding that he felt like her
"American uncle." He told
of Rosa's accomplishments
with our language, saying
that she constantly could
"let me tell you something."
Ben Howard, foster parent,
told of the "power to
overcome the unknown" as
his family and Rosa had
accomplished. Explaining
that the exchange student
was unknown to his family
and that the English
language was unknown to
Rosa, the two had joined
forces to overcome the
"fear of the unknown." He
also told of the exchange
student-foster parent program.
With tears in her eyes,
Rosa thanked all the
students for.everything that
they had done for her, for all
the friends she had made,
and wished her fellow
seniors good luck on their
graduation. She would not
say good-bye, only so long.
Mr. Terry reminisced on
his encounters with Rosa as
principal and remarked on
the goodwill brought to the
school by all the exchange
students that had been at
John Graham. He then
presented gifts to Rosa on
behalf of the student body
and faculty.
David Spence, editor of
the 1977 annual, presented
her with her personal copy
of The WARRENTONIAN.

student at John
Graham since early December
and returned to her
native Nicaragua on Sunday,
May 29.

Smoke Signals
News Of Warren Academy
The students at Warren
Academy have had a busy
two weeks. With exams
going on and everything else
taking place, it has been a
rather hectic two weeks, but
it will soon be over and
vacation time will be here.
Tbe Smoke Signals will
more or less be dedicated to
the seniors this week
because most of the news is
pertaining to them.
The seniors finished up
their exams last week and
are enjoying a short break
before graduation on Friday
night.
The students who werelWJf
exempted from exams have
been busy studying and
hoping that with all their
preparations that they will
do well on their exams. We
hope so too! We all know
that studying pays off in the
long run, especially wben
the report cards come out,
and we see the results.
The seniors were highly
entertained last week. Friday
night they were honored
guests at a party at the
home of A1 Williams. On
Saturday night they were
treated to another get
together at the home of
Bonnie Greer. On Saturday
a luncheon honoring them
was given by Mrs. Lucy
Hundley at The Carriage
House. Also enjoying the
festivities were the high
school teachers and the
headmaster, B. L. King and
his wife. The mascots,
Emmy Lou Coleman and
Mike Daily and their
parents were also guests.
A tradition was carTted
out when each senior
received their "Lucy ' hats
which were crocheted by
Mrs. Kitty Rodwell. The
hats were made in the class
colors, burgundy and gray.
The seniors along with the
other students who have
been in Mrs. Hundley's
math classes will long
remember her. We wish her
well when she begins her
new life in Florida. Remember
us, Mrs. Hundley, when
the winter rolls back around
and we here at the Academy
are "chilly."
The Baccrt«uiy«TO |WU
mon was enjoyed by all wno
attended. Our thanks to the
ones who participated, particularly
the Rev. William
Crouch who delivered the
sermon. We hope that the
seniors paid close attention
to his words and will use
their potential to the best of
their ability. We hope that
they will not hide their
potential in a box, but will go
out and "conquer new areas
and make old ones better"
and make this world a better
place in which to live!
We would like to thank
Mrs. Janet Coleman for her
work with the Warren
"Academy Chorus, and the
students who sang are also
due our thanks. The music
was beautiful and was
enjoyed by all, and it helped
to make our Baccalaureate
exercises extra special. Our
thanks to Mrs. Jean Williams
and Mrs. Harriet
Banzet for the music before
and during the exercises.
Friday night is the big
night for the seniors. It is
one that they have been
looking forward to for 12
long, and now, short years.
They are on the threshold of
entering the adult world,
and things will never be the
same for them again. They
will soon be venturing off
into a world that they have
chosen and will begin a new
life apart from the old.
We are sure that Dr.
David Frazier, President of
Peace College, who is to
deliver the commencement
address, will give them a lot
of good advice. We hope that
the seniors will listen
carefully and long remember
the advice given to them
by someone who knows
young people.
We would like to take this
opportunity to invite our
friends and patrons to the
commencement exercises,
Friday night, June 3, at 8 p.
m., at the Warren Academy
gym. It will be happy as well
as a sad occasion. We will
miss our graduating seniors
and we wish them well.
