I 9 PER-CO-H I 1 ' ByBeaSkipseiandHollhWlliams ...... . . - ' A long, time ago In December 1987, December 19, to be exact, y'-ujta and Mrs. Claus visited the students and teachers of P. C. H. 8. Santa made his annual trip from the North Pole to bring deserving teachers and ftudents . little gifts suited to lheir needs. On Tuesday, December 19, school closed for about two weeks In observance of Chrlst- mas, After a delightful holiday, the , halls of P.C.H.S. were once again alive with the laughter and chatter of about 600 people, Settling down to work proved to be a very hard task for most Roger - Bra country lawyer, t at 'Bris C Vsz Hos '", Mary LIrth to f t of quin- " a pre ( oto) able In Chowan and Pasquotank than In Perquimans? Money has marched out of and around Perquimans Into Chowan and Pasquotank Counties. Per quimans' Citizens spend money in adjoining counties for medical service because we need more doctors. Money has marched around Perquimans Into Chowan and Pasquotank Counties as In dustries have by-passed us to settle in Chowan and Pasquo tank. Jobs have .marched around us Into Chowan and Pasquotank. Why has this happened? We believe that the reason is simple. The citizens of Chowan and Pasquotank Counties appear to us to have decided to Im prove their counties and they have banded together their in terests, their hearts, their talents, and yes, even the wealth which they possessed to Im prove their counties; and they have succeeded. If the citizens of Chowan and Pasquotank can do what they set out to do, so can the citizens of Perquimans. Let us begin to improve our coun ty. Let us begin by supporting the Bond Issue for. a Medical Faculty. -" This is the first time that the Perquimans County Com missioners have openly sup ported 100 a bond Issue; and we believe that they must feel In their hearts that this is some thing needed In our county. Chowan County has Just passed a $1,000,000.00 Bond Issue for a hospital. The citizens of Per quimans County are only asked for I250J00. Bpnd Issue; and we do not believe that this much money will be used. Now the question Is this: "Do we citizens of Perquimans Coun ty have as much faith In the future of our county as the citi zens of Chowan and Pasquotank have in the future of their coun ties?" And the question Is also this "Do we care as much-for the citizens of Perquimans County as Chowan and Pas quotank care for their citizens?" We believe that a vote FOR the Medical FaciUty is a vote FOR Perquimans County's future. We believe that a vote FOR the Maintenance Tax is a vote FOR Perqui mans County's future. We be lieve that a vote AGAINST Is a vote against not only Per quimans County's future but that It is also a vote against every citizen now living In Perqui mans County. . , , - . We truly hope that you will vote. FOR both of these Is sues. -Spectator students. January 2 was "the night be fore" for the basketball teams.
