Chalkdust By Mary Rhea Gardner; Schools Aim To Stimulate Students
The act of collecting Dust
for a school Chalk board and
removing dust from a house
are astonishingly similar.
Because of constant use,
the dust in both can be hard
to keep up with and, unless
the job is routinely per
formed, can quickly get
ahead. Dusting both
requires a certain amount of
energy to move from outside
to inside, room to room, up
and down stairs, and
reversely, inside to outside.
Because of the many
nooks and crannies around
both, there is the hidden
dust in hard to reach (daces
just crying for attention.
Then there is that which is
so obvious that it often gets
overlooked, unintentionally.
Both need a real good
cleaning occasionally. Un
less there is a special in
Fannie Parker Women’s Club Sets Goals
The Fannie Parker
Woman’s Club has launched
its 1979 program within
keeping with its theme,
“Lifting As We Climb.” The
club members have drawn
up a set of goals as
guidelines to work towards
this fiscal year.
Some of the goals that the
club hopes to accomplish
are: to bring in resource
person to speak on pertinent
topics of today; to seek out
problems of our community
and to discover ways and
means that the club may be
of service; to help the youth
of our community by in
creasing membership in the
girls club and giving counsel
to other youths who would
Card Os Thanks
How do you say
“thank you” to so many
kind and lovable
people? It is almost
impossible to say it in
words. For every
telephone call of
concern, for every
visit, f<V every
donations money, for
every dish of food, for
every flower, but most
of all for every prayer
that was prayed for
Kitty and Jerry
Barringer, I am most
grateful. For the
telethon that the
Methodist Church so
willingly did for them,
from the bottom of my
heart I say “Thank
You.” I wish I had a
way with words that I
could express to you
exactly how I feel, but I
don’t have that gift.
Kitty is home now and
we feel that her
progress will be even
greater. For your
concern and love I say
once more Thank You!
Mrs. Ada C. Barringer

vitation to visit or some in
terested friends pay a “pop
call”, the efforts behind
both often seemed wasted.
All are cordially invited to
do a little educational
dusting on their own. If
there’s a special area of
interest you’d like to see or
know about, let your wishes
be known. Otherwise,
pardon Chalk’s dust. .
Swain might be a small
school, but there are always
administrative, teacher and
student currents flowing
that stimulate all. In
another effort to be sure that
all teachers fully un
derstand how students in
special classes are in
structed, what goals are set
for them and what materials
are available to them, the
principal, in an effort to
strengthen and further
coordinate the curriculum is
like to have help with their
problems; to contribute to
the welfare of others
especially the elderly and
shutins; to participate in
charitable drives for the wel
fare of mankind; to strive
for better use of the club
house through constructive
programs; to participate in
the district, state and
national women club af
fairs.
In keeping with the club’s
theme, bringing in resource
person, it had as its first
speaker the Honorable Troy
Toppin, Sheriff of Chowan
County. Sheriff Toppin
spoke on “Crime and Its
Prevention.” He pointed out
that the prevention of crime
is every citizens respon
sibility. Several ways were
given by which individual
citizens can help. Some of
Aces Compile Winning Wrestling Record
By Jerry LaVoie
The Aces spent three
strange and competitive
weeks compiling three wins,
no losses, and, twpr-ties.
Edenton’s overall record
rose to 10-1-2 and then
conference record stands
at 7-1-2.
First, the Aces faced the
Williamston Tigers, who
had been beaten by these
Aces less than a month
before, 56-12. Their 46-18 loss
this time was only slightly
better. Four forfeits, pins by
Rome ( : 58, 3rd) and W.
Cofield ( :36, 2nd) and
decisions wins by R.
Basnight (7-6), Bonner (13-
2) and Maddred (8-3) proved
more than enough for
Williamston. Edenton
blitzed Manteo with a
forefeit, pins by Carter
(1:35, 3rd), Jackson (1:48,
2nd), Rome (1:12, Ist) T.
Lassiter (1:10, Ist), R.
Basnight (1:36, Ist), W.
requesting that each
teacher observe regularly in
these special classes. Ob
servation time for each
teacher is provided during
physical education periods
supervised by a P.E. in
structor from Holmes High
School. In this manna*, it is
hoped that all will gain a
more realistic view of the
classes for exceptional
children.
At least once in every six
weeks, there are assemblies
held at Swain- which are
democratic, informative,
instructional and character
building for students. There
has been an assembly on
busses emphasizing the
need of proper conduct and
self-discipline to insure the
safety of all. The ( most
recent assembly dealt with
expected behavior of
students at school, the per
the ways are by neigh
borhood watch, reporting
strange persons often seen
in the neighborhood,
locking unattended cars,
and making ones home as
secure as he possibly can.
Sheriff Toppin also spoke of
the drug problems among
teenagers, and some ways
to detect a drug user.
After hearing Sheriff
Toppin, the club members
became more aware of
crime in our community
and things they may do to
help in its prevention.
The Executive Board of
the Northeastern District
will meet February 3, 1979,
at the Fannnie Parker Club
house in Edenton. This
meeting is to formulate plan
for the District meeting
which will be held in
Edenton in March.

( :45,15t) and decision wins
by Bembry (16-5), T. Cofield
(4-3) and Bonner (9-3) for an
overwhelming 58-18 win.
« The Aces then did some
thing they had not done
in over three years - they did
not lose to Plymouth. Each
side received 12 points for
two forfeits. Edenton’s other
23 points in the 35-35
deadlock came on a pin by
•W. Cofield ( :34, 2nd), a
default to Lassiter, and
decision wins by Stepney
(12-9), Jackson (18-4), and
R. Basnight (6-3). Usually
“morale victories” and “a
tie is as good as a win” are
literary cliches used to beef
up an article. However, in
this case, after over 3 years
of frustration, you can bet it
beats losing.
Against Ahoskie, only 18
of 26 wrestlers participaed,
and Edenton came away
with a 48-9 win. Pins by
Stepney (1:00,3rd), Jackson

Something new has been
added at Chowan High -a
student teacher. Coming
from Elizabeth City State,
Hazel Simpson will be at
Chowan for the next
twelve weeks in the business
department. It’s quite a
compliment to the system
that they get requests to
place student teachers
several time a year. Miss
Simpson is quite fortunate in
that she’ll receive her
tutorage under Mrs. Marvis
Hendrix, an enthusiastic
and “crackin-good” teacher
in her field and a master!
Mrs. Hendrix will first
challenge Miss Simpson
with teaching in the area of
Data Processing. A trip to
the Coast Guard Station in
Elizabeth City, where there
is excellent up-to-date
equipment is planned in
conjunction with this unit.
Chowan’s French Club
members recently took in a
concert at Old Dominion
University at Norfolk
performed by the French
Canadian group “Beausoliel
Broussard” a well known
group in Europe, the concert
theme portrayed the history
of how the performers
ancestors migrated from
France to Canada. With
interest riding high on a
French tour being planned
during the Easter holidays,
this was a timely event.
Third grade students in
Mrs. Forehand’s class at
Walker aren’t planning a
trip, but they have been
making lots of new friends
in Graham through their
Weekly Reader Pen Pals
Club. They have not only
learned a lot about schools
and geography in another
section of the state, but have
also put their language
experiences of composition,
grammar, handwriting and
punctuation to practical use.
High schools try to
provide curriculums ap
propriate to meet the needs
of non-college bound
students as well as college
bound, and at the same time
provide career information
to students. Recently three

their studies on flight and
