Student Display Shows Uses Of Environment
Sixth Grade social studies stu
dents in Beverly Bowden's classes
have prepared an interesting and
imaginative display titled "People
Learn to Use the Physical Environ
ment."
The display, located near the
office at J.W. Turlington Elemen
tary School, developed after the
chUdrens' study of primitive man's
continuous struggle to control his
lifestyle in spite of environmental
limitations.
The display illustrates the feet
that man's basic needs are not
exactly the same all over the world.
Boys and girls enhanced their
understanding of this by making
straw huts, gathering wool and
knitted items, and a loom. Dolls
dressed in various clothing are also
a part of the display.
This, of course, demonstrates
that a cold climate may create a
need for warm clothing and warm
housing. People who live in warm
climates often wear little clothing
and build very simple shelters.
Primitive tools such as bows and
arrows, smooth stones, and spears
illustrate man's ability to create
those things which he needs.
Students contributing to the
display include the following: Erick
Vinson, Nissa Willis, Duane Mc
Phatter, Jeffrey Melvin, Dayle
Perry, Denise Mac key, Lisa Mc
Lean, Chriss Hussey, Terrance
Adams, Michael Buie, Larry Cm
thens, Sheila Cameron, Larinda
Butler, Cheryl Bums, Ronald Cor
rado, Jeffrey Davis, Lou Ann
Dunagen, Jody El kins, Kim Jones
Cariss McLeod, Jennifer Blue, Neill
Holland, Brenda Cummings, Guy
Morris, Richard Ross.
Parents and friends are encour
aged to visit Turlington and see the
children's efforts on display.
Turlington PTA Sets
First Meeting
J.W. Turlington Elementary
School will hold its first PTA
meeting October 4 at 7:30 p.m. in
the school cafeteria.
This will be the first time in
which the school has formed its
own individual PTA group and
although its goals are the same as
the countywide PTA, the Turling
ton group hopes to develop closer
ties between the parents and
teachers of Turlington.
"The need for an individual
school PTA was recognized by
several persons, and we want all of
the parents who have children
enrolled at J.W. Turlington to
come out and support our efforts
on October 4," stated school
principal Emma Mims.
The boys and girls received
letters of invitation for their parents
last week. Hopefully, each parent
has received his or her letter and
plans to take an active role in the
educational process of Hoke Coun
ty's children.

a beautiful start this year, and we
really want our parents to work
with us and help make this the best
school year we have ever had,"
exclaimed Miss Mims.
Miss Mims went on to explain
that the school has undergone quite
a few physical improvements as
well.
"We've just had our library
repainted and it looks very lovely.
We're still in the process of having
our auditorium renovated and we
would like for the parents to come
out and see what's again on at
Turlington for themselves."
The administration, staff, and
student body of Turlington school
are deligently working together to
insure the success of the PTA
meeting.
"All of our efforts will be
meaningless," concluded Miss
Mims, "without the support of the
parents."
