Miss Lumbee Returns
from Busy Week or 1978
Azalea Festival
in Wilmington \
Drenda Hum. Mbi Lumbaa
PEMBROKE-To be crowned a queen could be an exciting experience for many girls.
And being in attendance at the many various activities in that capacity may be even
more so. But to be a queen and be invited to participate in the annual Azalea Festival
held in Wilmington would seem to be a prestigious honor indeed
Such an honor was bestowed this year on a mere fourqueens: Sharon Maness, N.C.
Rhododendron Queen, Janice McDonald, Miss Sun Fun, Diane Nobles. Carolina
Tobacco Queen, and Brenda Hunt, Miss Lumbee
These four queens were referred to at the festival held last week, as "Performing
Queens." And unlike the other nine "visiting queens'' they attended the festival and all
the events at no cost to them and were asked to perform at various activities throughout
the four day festival.
For Miss Lumbee it was a "unique experience indeed. This was my first Azalea
Festival in any capacity," she said "and being there as a performing queen was one of
the most exciting times of my life. I felt very honored," she added
Miss Lumbee left Wednesday afternoon to participate in four of the most "fun filled
and work filleji" days of her life. "I was constantly on the go..Every minute was filled
with attending one activity after another Many times I didn't even get a chance to
freshen my make-up between activities. But I didn't get tired, because I didn't have the
opportunity," she added
Though her chaperone, Florence Ransom accompanied her. Miss Lumbee was given
an official Festival chaperone; Mrs. Sandy Duke who transported her in an official car
to the various events and literally stayed with her throughout the four days. Mrs. Duke
was third runner-up in the Miss N.C. pageant in 1975.
Her day usually began with breakfast at 9:00 a m and ended sometimes as late as 2:30
a.m. Between those hours, she was kept busy at art shows, garden tours, ceramic and
craft displays, meeting one celebrity after another and attending various ribbon cuttings.
Being in attendance at various parties such as the President's party, Patron's party, and
Worker's party kept her on the go at night. And not to be left out, one of the bigger
high-lights; the Queen's Coronation Pageant and Show held Friday and Saturday
nights.
litis event was the scene for the crowning of the 1978 Azalea Queen, Nancy Addison,
star' of daytime T.V. show, Ryan's Hope. The presentation of the performing and
visiting queens along with other special guests and celebrities was also held. These
included: Malcolm Groome of "Ryan's Hope," Josh Taylor of "Days of Our Lifes,"
Alison Amgrim of "Little House on the Prarte," Claire Ford. Miss Black America.
Kathy Fleming, Miss North Carolina, and also Emma Mahn, Miss Wilmington;
Sammy Davis, Sr.; Dee Dee Ward, Azalea Festival Teenage Princess; the Queen's court
and escorts; and Carlos Palamino, welter weight boxing champion.
Performing at the Pageants were' "Die Sunshine Express.'' a group of Christian young
people presently touring the U.S. who perform a variety of musical and dance numbers
And special performer B.J. Thomas and his band who put on a show the audience will
never forget.
The highlight of the four days for Miss Lumbee was riding in the celebrity parade on
Saturday. "It was a thrilling experience to be a pan of such a fantastic parade, one I will
never forget," the says.
From riding in the parade, chatting with the stars, and performing both at the variety
show and ait show, the 1978 Azalea Festival proved to be a "busy and rewarding'' one
for Miss Lumbee "One I'll never forgst," she says.

Board of Education
Meets
At a lengthy meeting of the
Robeson County Board of
Education on Tuesday the
Board gave their permission to
near down the old teacher's
building at Orrum and the old
block building at Long Branch.
They agreed also to open the
garbage contract for bids.
They heard a progress re
port on the efforts toward state
accreditation from Mr. Donald
Bonner, assistant superinten
dent, and a progress report on
the annual testing program.
They authorized Mr. Albert
Hunt, assistant supt. to submit
applications for the Title I and
summer and fall migrant pro
gram funding.
Mr. Hubert Humphrey dis
? cussed requirements from the
state board of education to
meet the regulationsNfor mak
ing building more accessible to
the handicapped. He explain
ed in some detail how much
work was involved in convert
ing the buildings to meet the
requirments.
Ralph Hunt, chairman of the
board, reported on the Fulcher
Commission. Mr. Hunt was
the only board chairman ap
pointed to the legislative man
dated commission to study
funding. He reported on the 8
reccommendations of the
Commission. Among them
was a reduction is class size.
The report has been accepted
by the state Board of education
and will be presented to the
appropriate legislative com
mittee.
Mr. Hunt was re-elected
chairman of the board unani
mously. The board attorneys,
Locklear, Brooks and Jacobs of
Pembroke were placed on
open contract so that the
contract will not have to be
renewed each year.
Appearing before the board
was a delegation of parents
from the Prospect School area
who were there because they
had appeared at the school for
their regularly scheduled PTA
meeting and found the doors
locked. Mrs. Dorothy Lowry,
a member of Prospect School's
Advisory Council, spoke for
the group. Said she: "...There
seems to be a great divorce
between the community and
the school. The school is made
up of the children of the
community...The closer the
school and the community
work, the more problems
become minimized. What we
need is some kind of an
organization that draws the
school and the community
closer together in the best
interest of the children."
Also speaking was Mr.
Gurney Hunt, also a member
of the Advisory Council. Mr.
Hunt stated that he was the
president of the PTA and had
been so for four years. Said he,
"I keep up with what is
happening at my school. When
I feel like there is something
that the parents need to know,
I call a PTA meeting."
Some question arose from
other parents in attendance as
to how long a PTA president
elected for one year would
continue to be president.
After some discussion from
various board members, Lay
mond Locklear moved that the
chairman select a committee
to study parental involvment.
And Purnell Swett, Superin
tendent of Robeson County
Schools, stated that the board
strongly encouraged parent
participation. Appointed to
study parental Involvement
was Bob Mangum, UIHan Pay
