saw on TV (Channel 13 -
ABC) events we had wit
nessed being filmed at the
Hilton Hawaiian Village
beach while we were in
Hawaii! Go more into
Hawaii trip next week.
The rains came Sunday
morning but didn’t dampen
the spirits or number of
those attending Sunday
School at Bandon Chapel.
Acting Supt. Thomas H.
Dilday warmly greeted all
present. Butch Smith of
fered a prayer of
thanksgiving for the healthy
drink Mother Earth was
getting so that flowers could
bloom and crops get started
anew.
The men gained a few
points in our Attendance

Our fine Junior Class,
taught by Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Beach, had as
their subject “Turning to
God”, John 3: 1-16. Aim was
that the student may know
he is born into God’s family
through faith in Jesus.
“The Way of Authentic
Prayer”, Luke 18: 1-14, was
the topic for our adults,
forcefully taught by B. Kent
Rowley. Aim was that adult
Christians take time to
pray, realizing that

Dr. W.J.B. Livingston’s
powerful message made
everyone stop and think. He
titled it “How YOU Can Get
the Power You Need”,
based on Acts 1:4-8; 19:1-8.
All of us are aware of the
energy crisis today. The
United States is almost
empty of fuel - fossil fuels
will in time run out. Now, we
are trying to tap the sun and
utilize solar power for our
physical needs. I believe
there is a direct connection
between our energy crisis
and our relationship to God.
But I have a feeling that God
is more aware of another
kind of power. He is more
aware of erroded souls -
those out of harmony with
God.
God is tri-personal-the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
or Holy Ghost. We are afraid
of the Holy Spirit. The word
“ghost” is a ghostly word
and from child up we have
feared ghosts. The devil
knows this and uses it
against us. He doesn’t want
us to tap the enormous
power of the Holy Spirit. He
doesn’t want ministers to
preach about the Holy
Spirit.
I believe we are here
today by the power of the
Holy Spirit. He led us to a
decision for Jesus Christ.
We believe in God through
the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are at least two spirits -
the outer and inner - one
controls the other. We are
concerned that the inner
man control the flesh. When
our inner spirit controls us,
we can push away things of
the flesh that try to control
us. This is impossible
without the help of the Holy
Spirit - but - when the Holy
Spirit controls our inner
self, we can thank God for
everything that happens to
us because He will take all
these things and use them
for us.
Do you want something
more out of life than what
you have? Jesus says
“Those that hunger and
thirst after righteousness
will be filled”. The only
power that has control over
the spiritual forces that
control us is the power of the
Holy Spirit. If you want the
Holy Spirit to fill you, He
will do it. Ask God to let you
be filled with the Holy Spirit.
By His power you can
control your tempo*, you
can forgive others. When He
conies upon you, He will
change your life. He is the
revealer of truth. He
regenerates, sanctifies and
comforts you. You may be
given the gift of tongues -
speak in a language you
don’t know. When you don’t
know how to pray, you pray
in the Spirit. It will give you
a softer tongue, the kind of
tongue that turns away
anger. If anyone you kndw
speaks in a profound
language, pray that God will
give him a new tongue,
language free of profanity.
With a new tongue you
{raise instead of criticize;
instead of disliking, you look
for the good in everybody.
You enjoy the fruit of the
Spirit - love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness
and temperance.
Ask God to fill you with
the Holy Spirit. God will
supply every need we have.
We won’t have to worry
about fossil fuels anymore.
We hpld out our empty cup -
God fills it until we are
overflowing and we get the
power we need to live in
harmony with God.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
B Chalk Dust 51
By Mary Rhea Gardner
Because some of us place
a lot of stock in the power of
positive thinking (and
perhaps a little wishful
thinking) and because we
are avid fans of that trusty
old book, “The Farmer’s
Almanac,” we reveal in the
fact that Spring’s prophecy
is only four days away!! If
for some reason winter’s
doldrums aren’t magically
shooed away on that day, by
continuing to exercise the
old adage that “patience is a
virtue”, it will surely come
to pass - so “they” say.
Encouraging signs of
Spring, positive thinking,
prophecy, and patience can
usually be found around
schools - through its
students, teachers, ad
ministration, and personnel.
In fact, all of these signs
have been strongly
evidenced at D.F. Walker
and Ernest A. Swain School.
For several weeks, these
two schools have been
madly spring cleaning in
preparation for the visiting
team of educators who
arrived Wednesday to
evaluate, minutely, these
schools’ physical plants,
curriculums, cultural op
portunities, relationships
with the community, ad
ministrative and teaching
staffs, and, in general, all
strengths and weaknesses
which combine forces to
influence a student’s
learning process.
The outcome of these
visitors’ findings will bear
directly on whether or not
Walker and Swain schools
will continue to keep their
coveted accreditation status

Association oi Colleges and
Schools. A voluntary effort
signifying the willingness
and desire of these schools
to work to give students the
best possible education, the
year long process of self
purging has often been
painful and frustrating,
requiring much patience.
However, principals at both
schools fed that it has been
a strengthening and
growing ejqjerience for all
involved, with students to be
the educational benefactors.
Both the Walker and
Swain school libraries have
proud new additions,
coincidentally, to brag
about to their review team.
With the money earned from
their Book Fairs in the fall,
Walker primary library has
a new area rug for students
to sit on during story time
and educational media
session. Swain library also
has a new area carpet,
contributed by its Student
Council Association as its
main project of the year.
Heartful thanks are ex
tended to parents and
students who worked hard to
earn money to make these
attractive purchases for
their schools.
At a luncheon on Wed
nesday, in honor of the
visiting Southern
Association review teams
and to which county com
missioners, kchool board
members, school staffs,
press, and support per
sonnel were invited, the
Swain School Glee Club,
under the direction of Mrs.
Vendetta Sutton, gave- a
delightful, first public
Committee, representing
three of seven regions in the
United States.
“Outstanding’’ in her long
list of credits is Mrs.
Bounds’ 1976-77 ap
pointment by the National
Aswciatioij of Secondly

his affiliation with the

Receptions at both schools.
following the luncheon gave
teaches an opportunity to
formally meet the,
educators, who will be
spending all day Thursday
scrutinizing in their schools.
Extreme patience will have
to be exercised uritil the
final reports are received at
a later date. Although a visit
of this sort is only made
every ten years, there are
interim mini-visits to assure
that accredited schools
maintain their standards of
excellence which -gained
them membership on to the
Southern Association in the
first place. Here’s hoping
that St. Patrick’s Day
shammrocks will shower
these schools like leaves
kissing a Made of grass.
Spring is a time when
everything seems to branch
out—schools included.
Whenever educational
opportunities present
themselves, teachers seize
them to give students ex
periences which increase
knowledge, poise, and build
self-confidence. The
American Legion provided
such an occasion for all
. Chowan County students in
grades 9-12 by sponsoring a
public speaking contest on
the Constitution.
In order to prepare their
speeches on “My Duties and
Obligations As A Citizen,”
participating students at
Chowan and Holmes High
have had to study and
research the Constitution
intensively. Their historical
knowledge has been im
proved, their English,
research, and public
speaking skills augmented
through preparation for this
event. Not only will students
present their speeches, they
also will be called upon to
extemporaneously answer
any question on the Con
stitution asked by the panel
of judges.
Run offs have been held at
school, Karen Gray,a John
A. Holmes junior, 'and Gail
Felton, a Chowan High
freshman, were winners in
their schools. Tonight
(Thursday) they will make
their speeches at the
American Legion Building
and hope for the best. The
county winner will receive a
(100 Savings Bond and each
runner-up (50. The county
winner will move on to the
district contest at a later
date.
I’m sure that Nelia
Amstutz,. Winston Dail and
Cathy Segraves, Chowan
teachers and Sandra Boyce,
Holmes teacher will slip a
four leaf clover in their
contestant’s pocket,
exercise their ESP
positively, and just know
that their school’s winner

Because there has been
publicity for the past five
weeks and another article in
today’s paper on the up
coming Eastern District of
North Carolina Association
of Student Codncil con
vention being sponsored in
Edenton by all five school’s
student councils this
weekend, I won’t go into
further details. , However,
because of the spirit of
cooperation between all
schools and community in
' patiently planning and'
performing the necessary
preparations, there’* no
way the convention xan be
anything but successful.
A change of pace always
helps in combating winter
doldrums at school, or
anywhere for that matter.
This applies to MarviV
Hendrix’s accounting
classes at Chowan as well.
Last week these students’
understanding of' unit
pricing, nutritional labeling
and getting the most for
their money was heightened
as George Drawdy, Winn-
Dixie manager, gave them a
consumer education tour of
the supermarket.
Mrs. Hendrix gained from
this experience also. As one
of only 35 students allowed
in a Graduate Course in
Consumer, Education at
East Carolina, she had to
sign a contract to the effect
that consumer education
would be implemented in
her Business classes at
Chowan.
Some folks might think
teachers have it made once
they get their teaching
certificate. On the contrary,
many of them, like Mrs.
Hendrix, are students
themselves, and constantly
take courses which will
improve their teaching
skills and knowledge to pass
on to their students.
Those who work for public
education are the first to
realize how lucky we are to
enjoy the support of the
community to the extent we
do. Student recognize this
also, and whenever possible
try to reciprocate. The
Bloodmobile’s visit to
Edenton this week is a good
example. Through.
Chowan’s Beta Club efforts,
approximately 20 students
volunteered to give Mood.
An equal number of Holmes
High student showed the
same civic responsibility.
Whether or not they were all
accepted as donors I don’t
know, but at least they tried.
An open invitation is
extended to everyone to visit
exhiMts of student work
around town. We’re not just
trying to bribe you to visit
the schools’ administrative
office and give us the op
Thureday, March 17,. 1977
portunity to meet you, or Op
encourage you to become *
more avid readers, but
seriously would like to make
you aware of students work.
There is a interesting and
varied display of Walker
seventh and eighth grades
students art on display in
the “Superintendent’s
Choice” art display. Con
sidering that they do not
have the privilege of an art
teacher, per se’, their
teachers are to be com
mended for encouraging
their artistic aMlity as a
related part of depart
mental studies.
Louise Darby, who is
always seeking Friends of
The Library, has certainly
been a friend to the schools
by providing and en
couraging students . to
display their handiwork. t
This month there is an art
exhibit featuring batik,
copper tooling, linoleum,
applique, quilting, and
! acrylic painting of Chowan
High Art students as well as
a display of garments made
by the seventh and ninth
grade Home Economic
students.
Added to this collection
next weeks will be books
written, illustrated, and
bound by Mrs. Wilkins’ 6th
grade language , arts
students at Swain.
Students of Greek
mythology will have to
figure out what I mean when
I say, “male Cassandras
beat their chests; female
“Chalk Dust” writers, beat
erasers.”
