Richard Skinner named outstanding youth
Richarad W. Skinner, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles T. Skinner, Jr. of
Hertford has recently been named
one of the five Outstanding Youth in
N.C! by the state Jaycettes.
Each year the Perquimans County
Jaycettes select one senior to
represent Perquimans County as
their Outstanding Youth, as do the
other chapters in each county. Each
of the 100 counties may then enter
their nominee in state competition.
The nominees are then judged and
the winners announced. Georgia W.
Stallings, President of the
Perquimans County Jaycettes,
received the news that Richard,
Perquimans County's nominee, had
been named one of the winners.
"It was an honor to be chosen
Perquimans nominee because there
are so many of my peers that could
have been selected, but to win on the
state level was both unexpected and
overwhelming," said ftichard.
The Outstanding Youth is awarded
to one who shows leadership in school
and community, exemplifies service
and dedication, and is basically a
well-rounded student.
Richard is very active in school. He
is serving as both president of the
student body and president of his
senior class. He has remained an
honor student all four years at school
and is an officer of the Beta Club.
Richard is a very active member of
the Hertford United Methodist
Church serving presently at
president of the youth fellowship.
