School notes
Once again the familiar sounds of
bells ringing, lockers opening and
closing, and students passing
through the halls are the rule of the
day.
The Union school family, under the
leadership of Mr. Gary Stubbins, has
already begun the 1983-84 school
term with the theme "Off to a Good
Start."
In hopes that the students would
have a good beginning, parents were
contacted to share needed in
formation. Teachers were able to
communicate with them, trying to
involve both the home and school in
preparing each child for the first day
and those to follow.

Pirates defeat Chocowinitv
By KEN CASTELLOE
Perquimans used a stingy defense
alonf with
a powerful ground attack to defeat
the Chocowinity Indians, U-2. last '
Friday night on the Indians home
field.
Alton James, Richard Thach, and
Lin wood Parker powered the of
fensive unit which racked up 309
yards rushing. James, a senior,
rushed for 133 yards, while Thach
and Parker added 107 and 63 yards,
respectively.
Pirate coach Pat Morgan was
delighted with the work of his of
fensive line-center Rodney Gordon,
guards Talmadge Watson and Wayne
Corprew, and tackles Percy Davis
and John Evans-for execution and
making the holes for the backfield.
The Pirates scored on their first
possession of the game after moving
down the field <0 yards, as Parker
raced 17 yards to score. Three
minutes later, Thach drove through
to score on a five-run yard run.
The Indians scored late in the first
quarter when James was taken down
in his own end zone for a safety,
following a blocked punt. From that
point, the Pirate defense held the
Indians to keep them scoreless for
the remainder of the game.
Parker scored again with 5:45 left
in the second quarter on a 15-yard
run, then carried it over for the two
point conversion, giving the Pirates a
dominating 22-2 lead at the half.
The Pirates came out early in the
third quarter to score on a 32-yard
pass from Teton Reid to Roy Hall.
Alton James added two-points
making the score 30-2.
The final score for Perquimans
was made by Vincent Foster on a
five-yard run with 2:57 left in the
third quarter. After the two-point
conversion the final was set 38-2.
The Perquimans offense rolled up
16 first downs and 362 yards total
yards. Defensively, the Pirates gave
up only nine first downs and 109
yards with Marlow Ferebee leading
the attack. Ferebee had 11 tackles
while Kenny Perry added eight in the
first half alone. Terry Johnson and i
James Walker had seven tackles
each, David Parker had six plus one
interception.
Perquimans, now 2-1 are on the
road again this Friday night playing
the Northeastern Eagles. The
Eagles, sporting a 2-0 record,
dominated the Camden Bruins last
week 40-6. Game time will be 8:00
p.m. at the NHS Sports Complex.
Seminole quilts featured
during Heritage Day
During Indian Summer Festival
and Heritage Day - September IS
there will, be a Seminole Indian
Patchwork display. Please plan to
attend the Brunswick Stew Luncheon
at The Newbold-White House for food
and to view cultural exhibits and
sales.
There is and will be a renewed
interest in Seminloe Indian Pat
chwork during the next three years
and the 400th Anniversary.
Seminole is the Indian name for
wild "like a deer". There have been
three Indian Wars, the first 1818, the
second in 1835 and the third in 18SS. A
peace treaty was not signed,
however, until 1934.
These Indians were on good farm
land and the white man wanted the
Indian on reservations. The wars,
drove the Indians from Alabama and
Georgia. Many were captured and
sent to the reservations in Oklahoma.
The Seminole Indians that escaped
into the Florida Everglades
remained in seclusion from 1870 to
1920. Around 1900 the Indian scouts
brought back the "old side winder"
(hand crank) sewing machine.
The Indian women developed the
many decorative bands and when the
tribe emerged around 1920, they were
wearing the patchwork garments.
The designs were coarse but the idea
of strip sewing was here.
Seminole Indian Patchwork differs
from American type patchwork as
strips of fabric are torn on the
crosswise grain, then pressed and
sewn together in a pre-planned order.
These long strips are cut into
segments, re-arranged and re-sewn
into delightful patterns.
Each cut, width or color change
will give different results. The pat
terns are limitless. Except for the
quilt blocks in the last section, these
patterns are authenic.
Seminole patchwork is stitched
entirely by the sewing machine. Use
a fine machine needle, 11-13 stitches
per inch and V4" seam allowance.
Fabric should be medium weight
cotton or cotton-polyester blend.
Blends with as much as sixty-five
percent polyester will tear easily
from selvage to selvage.
Do not try to tear lengthwise. To
help eliminate some of the fabric
threads, trim off selvages before
tearing fabric. Tearing crosswise
speeds up the process and keeps
fabric on grain. You may cut fabric
crosswise if you wish.
Pre-shrink all fabric. To start your
sampler, purchase five fabrics, a
light, a dark and three medium range
solid colors, Vi yard each.

The principles are the same for all
strips. You tear, press torn strips,
mark and sew long seams, press
seam allowances in one direction.
Mark and cut segments then re-sew
segments into decorative bands.
Thread color is a personal thing,
you may change thread to match
fabric or select a light thread for top
and a dark thread for the bobbin.
Authenic Seminole patchwork
patterns are worked in plain colors
with sharp, crisp results, however,
the bodies of some garments are
made up in prints. Bright strong
colors such as navy, bright blue,
black, pink, brown, yellow, rust,
purple, white, green, cream and
turquoise are used. Their garments
are striking because of color con
trasts.
Vaule placement (lights and
darks) is more important than color
itself. Make sure you use a light, a
medium and a dark color in your
work. If using 2 colors use a light and
a dark.
Be aware of the value changes in
the patterns. Some patterns use 3, 4
or 5 colors.
Analyze patterns and use a dark
fabric where indicated by value and
light and medium fabrics ap
propriately placed.
