The Superintendent Reports
This school year has been a
. banner one, thus far, for the
athletic teams at Chowan and
John A. Holmes high schools. In
that athletics is an important
part of the school physical
education program, this week's
column will focus on the
importance of athletics, as well
as, the successes earned by
teams in the Edenton-Chowan
Schools this school year.
Everyone would probably
agree that participation in a
sound athletic program
contributes to health and
happiness, physical skill and
emotional maturity, social
competence and values.
Cdncomittantly, in that
cooperation and competition
are both important components
of American life. Athletic
participation helps to teach the
values of cooperation as well as
the spirit of competition.
Playing hard and playing to
win, help to build character.
In analyzing the successes
enjoyed by the varsity teams at
both high schools this year, it is
evident that cooperation and
competition were key elements
in the winning seasons enjoyed
in football, basketball, and
wrestling.
The John A. Holmes football
team under Head Coach James
Addison playing in a new league
and under most unusual
circumstances, jelled into a
mighty force, with bulkward
defense and brilliant offense.
The 9-1 won-loss record for the
season was most gratifying,
n a<V) (basketball both boys and
girls teams at Chowan and John
A. Holmes proved to be
successful.
Under the direction of
Coaches Harry Land and
Robbie Boyce the boys and girls
teams at Chowan High were
major forces in the Tidewater
Conference the entire season.
The Chowan boys team finished
the season in first place in the
Tidewater Conference. They
then won the Tidewater
Conference Tournament in
Elizabeth City. The Bulldogs
advanced to the finals of 1-A
area basketball tournament
before losing to Belhaven. In
like manner, the girls team had
an excellent sesson, and
experienced success in the
Tidewater Conference
Tournament before being
downed in the District Playoffs.
The Edenton Aces basketball
teams, under the direction of
Coaches Tom Bass and Linda
Nichols also had a rewarding
season. Both the boys and girls
teams showed what “true grit”
they had, finishing strong in the
.Northeastern Conference,
winning the Conference
Tournament before falling in
the District Tournaments. The
manner in which these teams
handled themselves in the new
conference was outstanding.
The basketball teams at both
schools have performed
magnificently and in
determined fashion all season.
Although wrestling is
considered a minor sport in
mast schools, that would not
appear to be the case at Holmes
High. The reason being, of
course, that Coach Gil
Burroughs generated much
excitement among students for
the sport. Not only did the
wrestling team go undefeated in
regular season play, they also
won the Eastern Regional
Wrestling Tournament beating
some very stong 4-A high school
teams. A trip to the State
Tournament also proved
successful with the Holmes
Wrestling Team finishing sixth
in the state out of the ninety-six
teams present.
As can be seen from the
above, the Edenton-Chowan
Schools are extremely proud
of the success and
accomplijsjunent which the
coaches ancT players who.
represent our system have
achieved. In that they also
represent our community each
time they venture outside the
county, we are confident that
you join us in saluting them for
representing us so well.
An ill deed cannot' bring
honor.
-George Herbert.

Origin Os
The Potato
By WILLIAM W. REID
The name “potato” is
believed to have originated
from the Indian name
“Batatas”, and is only one of
about 2,000 species of the night
shade family which includes
tobacco, tomato, egg plant,
'pepper, horsenettle, ground
cherry, and petunia.
There are many wild species
in the New World which are
closely related to the potato, but
most of these are found in the
Andes mountains. For this
reason, many people feel that
the Irish potato is improperly
named - reasoning that the
Spaniards first brought the crop
to Ireland from South America;
however, because of the
importance to the food supply
that the potato became to
Ireland, the name “Irish”
potato has remained through
the years although it may be
more correctly called the Andes
potato or the South American
potato.
To scientists all over the
world who name botanical
specimens in Latin, the accepted
name is Solanum tuberosum
and means the same to
scientists on all continents.
The disease of potato named
late blight wiped out the potato
crop in Ireland in 1840, causing
famine in Ireland and forcing
many Irish families to emigrate
to the United States. Late blight
disease is still prevalent in our
potato producing ara, but we
are now able to prevent and to
control the disease through the
use of fungicides developed
jointly by state and federal
experiment stations in
conjunction with private
industry. This is an excellent
example of the proper use of tax
payers money wherein a very
necessary food item has been
saved form oblivion by
reasearch on diseases and the
extension of that knowledge to
farmers.
The demand for potatoes and
potato products has changed
very much over the past 10 to 12
years. In 1960 the annual
consumption of potatoes per
person in the U. S. was about 108
pounds. This had reached 120
pounds per person by by 1972
and , by 1980, per capita
consumption is expected to
reach 124 pounds.
Thus, as population increases
and demand increases, so must
production if we are to keep up
with anticipated demand.
Increased production could be
the result pf either .-of, J,wo
factors: (1) increased yield per
acre by the present growers or
(2) increased number of
growers.
Because the present growers
have the know-how, machinery,
and other physical facilites for
potato production, it appears
reasonable that they will be
able to meet this demand—
certainly the increased demand
of the next few years.

Sunday School
Lesson
WHEN THE SPIRIT
FILLS A LIFE
International Sunday School
Lesson for March I*. 1*74
LESSON TEXT: Acts 3-4.
As we study our Lesson for
today we cannot help but be
struck by the changing inter
relationship of the individual
and of the group. For one is
irreconciliable with the other.
The church is made up of its
members; it is a composite of
their weaknesses, and of their
strengths; of their
vacillations and of their
positive reactions to any
given subject—especially of
those concerned with the
Gospel! ,i •
In the verses of our study is
a recount of the first miracle
wrought in Jesus' name after
the ascension. The prompting ,
of the miracle of the healing
of the lame beggarman
before the gate of the Temple
is most important. It was a
realization of his faith by
Peter—faith put to concrete
and compassionate use—but,
nevertheless, ascribed to the
power of the Master, in all
humility of spirit and a loving
heart.
Would that the faith
exhibited by Peter was the
rule, rather than the
exception among Christians
today! For Peter’s life was so
filled with the power of faith
that he felt nothing was
impossible—just so long as it
was accomplished in such a
way that it proclaimed the
greatness of the Father!
Peter’s act was also an act
of great courage, as well as
faith; for it was performed in
public, in the midst of the
doubting and derision of
t the populace.
Remember—in the days of
early Christianity, the faith
had many more detractors
than it had adherents! Thus
Peter’s believing testimony
(taken at great risk to
himself) bore fruit even
beyond his wildest dreams.
Called to account by the
religious leaders of the day
many of whom had
participated in the sentencing
of Christ to the cross - Peter
and John nevertheless held
fast to their assertion that the
Messiah, whom they had so
cruelly used and put to death,
yet lived, and dispensed His
grace among mankind. And
their witness was joyfully
received by the believing
community; new converts,
who had hitherto placed their
faith in things material, were
inspired to sell their worldly
goods and place the resulting
monies at the disposal of the
Christian movement, that the
Word might be spread still
further. The spirit of sharing
thus took on a new and
practical dimension, for each
man was administered to
according to his need.
The fact that Peter and
John’s listeners were “filled
with the Holy Ghost” was
ample indication of a great
inner sense of personal
renewal and a sense of
spiritual power Christians
still need this sense of inner
and spiritual fulfillment
today.
In our witnessing on
Christ’s behalf today, what is -
our impact upon our peers?
Does our innate belief shine
through in our speech and
acts? Are we convincing
Christians? Do our words and
deeds lead others to Christ—
and to His service?
As professing Christians we
do not have a monopoly on
Christ, the Savior; rather,
Christ has a monopoly on US!
This la something we must
never forget—and it is
something which ties back to
one ot the oldest and most
stressed virtues proclaimed

The man who prays can hear the prayers of others ...
especially when he prays for those human needs which
are common to all men.
But even when he prays for needs that are solely his
own, he knows that those who care for him are joining
their prayers with his.
And Gotfs answers come back along the party line.
You’re never quite sure the message was meant for
you. You are tempted sometimes to think it was intended
for someone else . . . until you realize that this answer
which God has inspired in your heart does fit your prayer.
There are times when it’s good for everybody on the
party line to pick up the phone at once . . . and speak
what they all feel . . . and listen to what they all need to
