r i -r. ~ Thesp young ladies from Piedmont Open Middle School have formed a fictional perfume company for their school project. Here (seated) Avonette McCul lough, Felicia hldney, Mary Carson, and (standing) Jackie Faulkner, Patrice OUun and Cindy Foster express their fragrances Piedmont Open Middle School Students Design PAFEJAMA By Teresa Burns Post Staff Writer What started out to be a routine school project end ed up being a fascinating adventure for six ninth grade students at Pied mont Open Middle School. The students, Avonette McCullough, Felicia Ed ney, Mary Carson, Jackie Faulkner, Patrice Dixon and Cindy Foster concoct ed an extremely creative idea when their Social Stu dies teacher, Steve Hunt, suggested they do more than just read material concerning advertising. Together they thought up a perfume company and called it PAFEJAMA. Each young lady then de signed and named a type of fragrance. “Our fragrances repre sent our personalities," ex plained Jackie Faulkner, “or how we feel we will end up in the future.” From the imaginations of the six adventurous busi ness women popped the fragrance AMOY. Cindy Foster named this one for the “...busy, intellectual business woman, on to work." Patrice Dixon’s perfume is entitled PATRICE and the scent is for the “...my sterious women who don’t start til the sun sets." Jackie Faulkner re vealed her fragrance CANDI “...for that special outgoing woman that steps in late, makes her entrance dressed to the tee.” PUDDIN is Mary Car son’s brainstorm. This de lightful fragrance is for "...the outgoing athletic type.” Felicia Edney is the “shy and innocent” type, so she knew the exact subtle fra grance fellow shy ladies would enjoy. She entitled it TWINKLES. The final fragrance de veloped by this project company is CfcXlLE. "For the schoolgirl that has more on her mind than what you think.” This one was produced by Avonette McCullough. Of course, these fra grances are only fictional but the students are carry ing on an advertising cam paign as if they have truly invested their life savings in PAFEJAMA. Each one has designed a box for her individual per fume. They will video tape a commercial on closed circuit TV promoting the perfumes that will be shown to all of Hunt's Social Studies classes and other Piedmont classes as well. Each group in Hunt's class must prepare some thing for a television, radio and magazine. This way the students are getting first hand experience about advertising instead of only reading about it from text books. “That’s what the open system is all about,” re marked Ms. Faulkner. “We really like playing the models and being in the commercials. And actually we are learning more this way than if we iusTlsnf fo read about it.” Maty Celebrates Mercy Hospital will cele brate its seventy-fifth anni versary during February, having come a long way from the 25-bed hospital which opened its doors in 1906. Today, the Mercy School of Nursing has grown to 80 students in a three-year program. Mercy also ope rates a School of Medical Technology and a School of Radiology X-Ray Techno logy. _ 9 --r : — Which Group Uses Drugs More - Whites Or Blacks? By Susan Ellsworth Post Staff Writer .Wfeich group uses drugs, n , blacks or whites? , cepfr for the needle, drug use among local 7-12 graders is higher for whites, according to four Charlotte Drug Education Center surveys taken from 1972-79. _ A sample of 11,123 junior, and senior high* students included 61.5 percent white^ vouths, 34.4‘percent Macks' and 4.1 percent others. Alcohol was me mo6t popular substance among both races, and whites pro portionately dominated in use. . -hv-the 1^77 survey, 66.9 percent of whites com pared t<f 47 percent of. blacks had tried alcohol. National figures for 1979 ‘indicate only 54.2 percent of whites and 45.1 percent, for others used alcohol. "The ,1972 survey'shbws'a * decline^ in alcohol use, • mostly among 'blacks. Whereat, 66.t percent of whites tried alcdhol, 44.7 percent .of blacks did. ' • An increase in marijuana use between 1977-79 came mainly from whites. Junior and senior high school stu dents nationally in 1977 used marijuana 28.6 per cent, white to 25.1 percent other. . Fifth In A Series Local Figures revealed that while 40.9 percent of • the white students sur veyed in 1977 chose mari juana, 40.4 percent of the black students used it. Differences widenetf. slightly in 1979, 'as '41.6 percent of whites and 40.3 percent of blacks increased marijuana use. Both races demonstrated preferences for increasing their use of certain drugs. .Whites chose methaqua lon&, cocaine and inhalants more often, while blacks favored inhalants, metha qualone and opiates. ■ -— Why these drugs? “Low cost may contri bute to a drug’s popular ity,” said Dr. Stephen Newman, CDEC director. Methaqualone is an illegal ly manufactured powder pressed into-tablets (quaa ktdes).Some drug dealers sell the less costly valium as quaallides. Quaaludes are less expensive than alcohol and marijuana. ' Inhalants are attractive because they are easily accessible through aerosol cans, he pointed out. According to the 1977 study more blacks (9.2 per cent) than whites (7.3 pef caine. Whereas, in 1979 the reverse is true. By 1979 the percentage of whites that tried cocaine rose to 11.9 percent while only 9.5 per cent of the black students used it. Newman said since co caine is more expensive than other drugs, whites are better able to afford it. ■ Survey results indicate mok-e escapist addictive tendencies , among black drug users than whites, which could explain why more blacks use a needle to inject the drug, Dr. Kim said. The needle induces an immediate drug effect; ' drugs- taken through- « needle are narcotic and cause a high degree of psychological dependence. “opiates 1i.e. heroin) produce an overwhelming sense of tranquility,” New man pointed out These drugs also have a high potential to produce addic tion.. _"It is frowned upon in the Birthday Party If you are not going to the Norfolk game don't forget about the birthday party for Gerald Bridges and Freddie Dials.
