The Norlina Blue Waves football team played its
last game against Gold Sand in Louisburg on Oct.
31. The Club Waves beat Gold Sand by a score of 6 to
4.
This is only one of the Blue Waves victorious
games. We played a total of six games and successfully
won three of them. The 1984 football team of
Norlina Middle School has played with good sportsmanship,
and we are sure the student body has been
very proud to support them.
Basketball practice for the 1985 Blue Waves
teams begins today. All students interested in par'<
ticipating in girls or boys basketball are invited to
attend. A health form is necessary.
During the last week, we have been fortunate to
< have some renovation and painting done at our
■ ' school. Ms. Mulchi's office, and two other rooms
' have been painted and made usable for a Health
Occupations class. Plans are also underway to install
a multi-purpose Science laboratory at N.M.S.
The beginning of the school year seems to be a
good time to gather opinions concerning things of
interest to the students. We asked the seventh graders
the following questions and received the following
responses.
Are you as happy here as you were at your old
school? yes 84% no 16%.
Is the work here harder than at your old school?
yes 83% no 17%
Do you enjoy intramurals? yes 82% no 18%
Do you enjoy having six periods a day? yes 58% no
42%
Do you like the cafeteria food here? yes 72% no
28%
We were very pleased to note that each of the
questions received more than one-half positive
(yes) votes, and most received very positive
responses.
At Warren Academy
Festival Success
Warren Academy's Fall Festival, which was held
on Saturday, Nov. 3, proved to be a great success. A
tremendous "thank you" goes to all of the friends of
Warren Academy who worked so hard toward
making the day a success.
Much of the Fall Festival's money was raised by
- the students and their parents in grades K-5 who
sponsored the Warrior-Princess, Brave-Maiden
Contest. The first-place winners of the Brave and
Maiden Contest with kindergarten through second
grade competing were Holt Smiley and Mary Randall
Curtis of the second grade. First-place winners
of the Warrior-Princess Contest, grades three
through five, were Robbie Rodwell and Kim
Stallings of the fifth grade. Each class representative
was given a trophy for his/her work during the
contest. An extra vote of thanks goes to the parents
who helped organize and raise money for this contest.
Your work is greatly appreciated.

At Warren County High
Week Was Active
By HOLLY HOWELL
The past week at Warren County High School was
a busy one for the students.
On Wednesday, the first period social studies,
drama, art, and music classes were entertained by
a professional theatre company from Raleigh.
Three male actors and two female actresses presented
a 45-minute song, dance and drama act
depicting scenes from World War II. The songs
were ones that were popular during the 1940's. Some
! of them included "Sentimental Journey" and
; "Chattanooga Choo-Choo."
On Friday, students enjoyed a pep rally given in
honor of the varsity Eagles football team. The var!
sity cheerleaders along with the Eagles band put on
! a show that made everyone very enthusiastic about
our last game. Apparently, the players were equally
as enthusiastic because they defeated the North:
west Vikings 4(H).
As football season was coming to an end, basketball
season was just getting underway. For the entire
week, students were competing for spots on the
girls varsity, boys junior varsity and boys varsity
basketball teams.
I would like to wish all of the players and coaches
good luck for the 1984-85 basketball season.

Science Convention
Draws From Here
The National Science
Teachers Association
Area Convention, an annual
event, was held
Nov. 8-10 in Charlotte
with approximately
1,800 science educators
from across the state
and nation in attendance.
Educators attending
from Warren County
were Mrs. Vilma
Gatlmg and Mrs. Eva G.
Howell, both science
teachers at Warren
County High School.
The theme of this
year's convention was
"Science Education—
What's Right for a
Change!" It emphasized
the renewed emphasis
being placed on the
science curriculum, better
laboratories and
equipment, teacher
training and career
development. The panel
topics, workshops,
exhibitions, reports and
sessions focused on
educational concerns.
All expressed positive,
aggressive approaches
to improving the quality
and quantity of science
education. The convention
reflected broadly
throughout all segments
of the society including
business, industry,
technology, research as
well as the classroom.
Mrs. Gatling and Mrs.
Howell had an opportunity
to attend workshops
and lectures that
focused on all phases of
science education from
the elementary to the
college level.
The teachers plan to
share the new ideas and
perspectives gained
from the conference
with their colleagues
and students.
