Andy Futreal, vale dictorian, thanked those who constructively influenced his class and he encouraged each graduate to always do their best. Both honor 1 graduates have definite goals; Marcie plans a career as a pediatrician and Andy, an environmental engineer. However, their most impor tant goal may be plans to return to Duplin County in their prospective career fields after college. "I decided 1 wanted to be a doctor when I was in the fourth grade." Marcia Boone I said. "Being a doctor will allow me to combine my love for children and science. And, I will not only be rewarded financially as a doctor but emotionally."

I that I will become one of many and no one will care. "I think our teachers and the adults within the com munity did a good job bring ing up our class. Most of the 1983 seniors have a lot of self-confidence and are well rounded individuals with ability to do a number of things well." Marcia said. Andy Futreal graduates with a 95.33 grade point average at James Kenan High School. He plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Andy pointed out the decision to pursue a technical career is due to his interest in physics, but for many of his classmates, the choice of a technical career over the liberal arts was made in hopes of finding employment after graduation from col lege. Andy Futreal we (seniors) are an con cerned about getting a job after college," Andy Futreal said. "1 read something every day in the newspapers about unemployment. We are aware of the serious un employment problems and many of us have chosen study in technical fields over the liberal arts. There are a lot of students whose in terests lie in the liberal arts, but we recognize the fact that the jobs are just not there. I feel that our class is as prepared as we can be for college. And. we are anxious to find out things for our selves." Andy leaves James Kenan with awards in chemistry, biology and advanced biology, physics, American and world history, and English.

Moore Story Thomas Overton Moore's vary is that of a Tar Heel who made good after going far South ? to Louisiana. Born in April 1804 near the village of Turkey, Moore was educated in his home county a few miles south of Golds boro before leaving at the age of 25 to live with his uncle, Walter H. Overton in Rapides Parish. La. One of young Moore's paternal ancestors had been politically prominent. James M<x)re, who had emigrated from Ireland in the 1600s, had become governor of the Carolinas in 1700. On his mother's side, he was a descendant of William Overton who came to Vir ginia from England about 1670. On arrival in Louisiana. Thomas Moore took over the management of his uncle's sugar plantations, and at a later date bought his own plantation which became a successful business venture. Moore was as active as a family man as he was in business and politics. In 1830 he married Bethia Jane Leonard and fathered five children. After serving in the politi cal arena in Rapides Parish for a number of years. Moore was elected to the Louisiana State House of Represen tatives in 1848. His political rise thereafter was fairly rapid ? he was elected to the Louisiana Senate in 1856 and in 1859 won his Democratic ticket race for the state's Ketchup was once sold as a medicine. governor despite being opposed bv another popular Democrat, Thomas J. Wells. According to the Diction ary of American Biography, Moore was "in disposition fiery and inclined to be exacting and uncompro mising. (but) nevertheless a through politician who played the political game with great zest and effec tiveness." Typical of his zest for taking action was his deci sion early in 1861 to order state troops to take Fort Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi River below New Orleans, as well as Fort Pike on the Rigolets and the bar racks and aresnal at Baton Rouge. This he did, rightly surmising that the Louisiana legislature would soon adopt a secession ordinance. After the secession ordi nance was adopted. Moore promptly took further mea sures to make Louisiana an active member of the Con federacy. He directed the organization of local defense companies, established supply depots, and had packing plants built in order to provide provisions for Confederate soldiers. Confederate President Jefferson Davis asked for 3.000 troops from Louisiana and Moore in April 1861 issued a call for 5,000 troops in addition to those re quested by Davis. Following the capture of New Orleans by Federal troops in June. 1862, Moore's administration was disrupted, but Moore con tinued to govern central and northern Louisiana. He moved his capital from Baton Rouge to Opelousas and later to Shreveport and functioned as governor of unoccupied areas until the end of his ????????IBM appointed term in early 1864. In his final days as gover nor. he issued strict guide lines laying down non-frat ernization measures to be followed by Louisiana resi 1 '? ?they were forbidden to trade with the enemy, to enter Federal lines, to bear Federal passports, or to ac cept or use Federal money. It was at this time too, in the spring of 1864, that Moore suffered heavy per sonal losses. His plantation in Rapides Parish was con fiscated by Federal authori ties and his home and sugar mill destroyed. In the summer of 1865, following the issuance of an arrest order. Moore fled to Havana. Cuba, the refuge point for many Confederate leaders seeking to avoid capture and trial. Eventually, through the intercession of friends, Moore, then in his early 60s. was allowed to return to Louisiana with a full pardon. Until his death in 1876. Moore spent the last decade in his life attempting to restore his plantation and to recoup his lost fortune. He never entered the political I l=MK=^3tK arena again, and died at age 72 on his plantation near Alexandria. The historic marker in the center of Turkey is a visible reminder that one of Samp son County's young men journeyed south more than ISO years ago to find fortune and defeat in what was then the rich sugar country of Louisiana. ???-"?-??-??"-I WHY IS LIQUOR-BY-THE-DRINK NO!A BETTER WAY?
