Turlington Students Give "The Best Year'
"The Best Year" was the title of
the play presented last Friday to the
Sixth Grade student body by Mrs.
Beverly Bowden's homeroom stu
dents at J.W. Turlington Elemen
tary School.
The play, written by Mildred
Hark and Noel McQueen, vividly
captured the importance of begin
ning the new year with a positive
and assertive attitude.
The 33-member cast held the
audience spellbound with a per
formance pulsating energy, enthu
siasm, and expressiveness.
In addition to the play, the
talented group of boys and girls
further electrified spectators with a
heartwarming commemoration of
the January 15 birthday of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. This
recognition, consisting of poetry
and prose recitations by Tammy
West, Dorchelle Hurst, and Chris
topher Clark, was brought to a
stirring and momentous conclusion
with Brietta Smith's dramatic in
terpretation of Dr. King's immortal
speech. "I Have A Dream."
The musical talents of Mrs. Betty
Upchurch, reading teacher, further
enhanced the program while serv
ing as a melodious vehicle which
transported the program's mood
and spirit in gracious style and
ease.
The observance of Dr. King's
birthday also "kicked off' the
school's upcoming celebration of
National Brotherhood Month and
Black History Week during the
month of February. Mrs. Jeanette
Watson, chairman of the Black
History Committee at Turlington
reveals a few of the scheduled
activities:
"The children will have an
opportunity to observe audio-visual
presentations of famous Black
Americans, participate in an essay
contest detailing the importance of
Black history, and display their
