>The U.S. constitution speaks
I AM THE CONSTITUTION of the
United States of America your title
deed to freedom. I am the Magna
Charta of the rights of the Republic,
the rights of States, and the inaliena
ble rights of the people. I was or
dained and established by the people,
for the purpose of securing for you
and your posterity the blessings of
unity, justice, tranquility, the com
I moo defense, the general welfare,
and the perpetuity of liberty.
I am a government of law, a supe
rior, paramount law, changeable
only by those by whom I was founded
and enacted-the people. My prin
ciples are fundamental, and were de
signed to be permanent.
I bestow legislative powers upon
the Congress of the United States. I
definitely outline and define its duties
) and limitations. I also lay restric
tions on the powers of States.
I vest with executive powers the
President of the United States. These
powers are not only designated, but
positively prescribed. He derives his
authority and his power from me.
I confer judicial powers upon the
one Supreme Court to safeguard your
life and liberties. Hie powers are
clearly defined and limited, and that
those limits might not be forgotten or
mistaken, I was written. The Su
preme Court is my spokesmand and
interpreter.
I guarantee a Republican form of
government to every State in the
Union, a government of the people,
by the people and for the people-a de
mocracy in a republic. I guard and
protect your homes, and guarantee
security from unwarrantable search
and seizure. I wisely give the control
of children to their parents, and de
prive the Federal Government of any
control over them.
I guarantee freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. I protect the
rights of minorities as well as the
rights of majorities. I give the people
the right to assemble peaceably, and
to petition for redress of grievances.
I guarantee religious freedom, the
right to worship God according to the
distates of your own conscience. My
principles of civil and religious lib
erty are, like the ten commandments,
perpetual and eternal, applicable to
every age and every station.
I am your birthright, your heri
tage, bought and paid for in blood and
sacrifice. I am your title deed to free
dom, which is yours to hold in trust
for posterity. If you fail to keep that
trust inviolate, if I am nullified, de
stroyed, or impaired, you and your
children will cease to be free Ameri
cans. and will become slaves to dista
tors and despots.
Eternal Vigilance is the price of
liberty. Guard well your heritage,
lest you perish.

Perquimans Middle School news
The week following Labor Day
found students and faculty at Perqui
mans Middle School busily back at
| work. Heat schedules were followed
during the week due to excessive
temperatures in the building. Due to
early dismissal, students and faculty
have worked even more diligently to
meet high levels of time on task.
Principal Gary Stubbing and Assis
tant Principal Brenda Terranova
have agreed that the opening weeks
of school have been smooth and that
both students and faculty are hard at
work.
| The seventh grade art class of Mrs.
Brenda Hollowell has completed a
contour still life, coloring the shapes
in the still life with brilliant colors
against a background of black. In
learning about gradations of light,
seventh graders created a collage,
matching cuttings from magazines to
the gray scale. The resulting project
was quite an interesting design show
ing movement from light to dark.
Eighth graders have completed a
| study of figure drawing resulting in
sketches of student models and
monsters created with correct hu
man proportions. In the study of still
life drawing, each student painted a
still life, applying gradations of gray
to represent the different intensities
of the colors of the still life.
Students in Mrs. Debbie Roberts
7th and 8th grade Language Arts
classes have completed either a Coat
of Arms or an African War Shield re
vealing to their classmates interest
ing facts about themselves. This ac
tivity was designed to improve self
concept and to involve the students in
a pre- writing activity. Mrs. Roberts'
5th and 6th grade students have com
pleted acrostics of their names.
Words beginning with each letter of
the students' name, that also de
scribed their personality, were writ
ten. This activity was also designed
to recognize individual self-worth
and improve self concept.
The 5th graders of Miss Mary
Ralph and Mrg. Sarah Meads had an
interesting and informative presen
tation given them. Mr. David McCall,
Director, of the New bold White
House, spoke on the history and mi
gration of the Indians to North Amer
ica. He gave a slide presentation, and
showed artifacts to the students. The
students were given a chance to be
come more aware of the importance
of Perquimans County in the history
of our country.
Students of Mrs. Edna Wolverton
also enjoyed a visit from Mr. McCall.
Mrs. Wolverton's 5-6 combination
class thoroughly enjoyed both slides
and artifacts in McCall 's presenttion
of Indian life among the Algonkian
tribe in Northeastern N.C.
Mrs. Wolverton's students are also
beginning an intense study of the
Constitution and having fun with a "
Bill of Rights Rap" which they plan
to present to their fellow schoolmates
in the near future.
Mrs. Needham's 6th grade has
been using the Scientific Method to
determine "Which material makes
the best insulator?" They have used
hot water and ice in paper, glass, tin,
and styrofoam containers. Using a
Calcius thermometer the students
have recorded the temperature over
a period of time. They have proved
their Hypothesis: A styrofoam con
tainer is the best insulator of the four
materials.
