Financial Difficulties
Voiced About Center
Sixth Grader Views RMSH
By Richard Gurganus
Over the past few weeks there
has been much excitement over
a proposed civic center for
Rocky Mount. The civic center
which would cost about 3.5
million dollars and seat 3,500
people, could provide recreation
and cultural activities for Rocky
Mount citizens.
The big question is, “where is
the money going to come
from?” Mayor Fred Turnage
said he doubted that the citizens
of Rocky Mount would approve
I was wondering what it
would be like when I get to
Senior High. I think the exams
there would be very hard and
complicated. I think the average
student would study about an
hour for an exam. I wish the
exams would be one page, but
there will probably be about five
or six.
I think the teachers would
have to be kind’ve strict to have
a good class. I think they would
give out a lot of D.T.’s. I think
the principal would be black and
have a straight face and kind of,
chubby.
I think there are about 700
students at Senior High. The
Seniors probably get to eat
lunch where they want. There
are about seven periods.
I think the cafeteria food
would be cold, because it
probably came from another
place. I think the average
student would have a friendly
and joking personality. People
probably get there in the
morning and back home in the
afternoon many different ways.
All in all, I think I will have a fun
time when I get there.

a tax increase, and he added
that he would definitely not call
for a bond issue because two
bond issues worth $8000,000
have recently been approved.
The need for a new city hall was
cited by Turnage who felt that
the city hall and the civic center
would put a strain on financing.
Turnage said that there had
been little public enthusiasm
that would make the city council
consider the civic center.
“Chances are much greater for
private investment with perhaps
federal or county help,”
Turnage added.
There are arguments for the
center, dealing largely with the
economic boost it would give
Rocky Mount. Wilbur Rose,
chairman of the Nash County
Industrial Development Com
mission, said that the civic
center would bring in some of
the income lost from tourism
when Interstate 1-95 is complet
ed. Theo Pitt, chairman of the
Central City Revitalization
corporation said the civic center
would upgrade a declining tax
base in downtown Rocky Mount.
