PERQUIMANS MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Tigers of Perquimans Middle
School put forth their best effort of
' this season Wednesday in their game
With Central Junior High from Gates.
Qates. who came into the contest un
defeated and unscored upon, was
shocked by the fire and desire of the
Tigers. Perquimans took the opening
ki^k-off and engineered a drive of 70
yfcirds for their first touchdown. The
exlra point run placed Perquimans
ujr8-0. The defense held Gates and a
p(in.t was forced. Perquimans put to
gether their second drive that ended
' with a touchdown pass. Again the run
fai the extra point was good and the
Tigers led 16-0 at the half.
?
?1 the second half, Gates superior
site and numbers, along with a super
pafsing game took over, as Gates
was able to score 22 unanswered
pcj&its, to win 22-16.
Coach Eley had nothing but praise
for the Tiger's effort. "Our guys
j played their hearts out in this one.
E4ery player gave their all against
the much larger Gates team. We had
a super team effort. The tough thing
abiut this is that one team had to
lose."
to make the loss worse, the Tigers
lost their leading rusher for the sea
son, when Mario Green broke his an
k)4 in fleeing minutes of the game.
from each grad - for one hour - Mon
day through Friday - 5th grade- Mrs.
Tatum, 6th grade-Mrs. Reid, 7th
Mrs. Hook and 8th grade-Mrs. Du
rant. The students worked on writing
poetry about an assortment of topics
- tractor pulls, leaking pens, even fa
mous people like Kirk Cameron and
the Rock n Roll Express - and many
more exciting subjects. Teachers in
grades 4-12, from other schools in the
county, visited Miz J while she
worked with the classes. It was an
exciting and very fun-filled experi
ence. Both the teachers and students
tried their hand at poetry writing and
we may even have some future poets
amidst us. Booklets are going to be
made, including teacher and student
work.
BILLIANT COLORS OF FALL
LEAVES
The brilliant colors of fall leaves
usher in the autumn season, and
along with the glorious colors are
thoughts of seasonal activities.
In Mrs. Hollowell's art classes, stu
dents are employing their vivid
imaginations to create projects of au
tumnal subjects. Indian and Hallow
een masks are being created in all
classes, using a variety of media.
The fifth grade students are con
structing colorful Indian masks into
totem poles, while other classes are
creating wild creature mask pictures
with pastel on wet paper. Fifth and
sixth graders are creating their very
own "Great Pumpkin" designs.
Their Jack-O-Lantern drawings are
not to be the stereotype pumpkins
seen on your doorstep, and never
would this pumpkin be discovered in
your local pumpkin patch. John Nix
on's "Super Pumpkin" and Charles
Wills' "Pumpcar" were projects ad
mired greatly by fellow classmates.
Fifth graders have been involved
in a memory drawing contest, the
subject being their former schools,
Hertford Grammar or Perquimans
Central. Two preliminary winners
were selected from each class - one
for the best Hertford Grammar
drawing and one for the best Perqui
mans Central drawing. Preliminary
winners were:
Mrs. Gibbs - Justin Berry, Cen
tral
Taige Logan, HGS
Mrs. Ralph - Buddy Hollowed,
Central
Denise Perry, HGS
Mrs. Meads - Derek Waters,
HGS
Jamie Hudson, Central
Mrs. Jennings - Charles Wills,
Central
Amy Umphlett, HGS
Mr?. Tatem - Corey Hurdle,

WARM FUZZY REPORT TO PAR
ENTS
Never heard of a Warm Fuzzy?
Well ask your fifth or sixth grader,
but just in case you don't have a child
in the fifth or sixth grad, let me tell
you. A Warm Fuzzy is an act by
someone else that lets you know they
are there and make you feel good, all
warm ari fuzzy inside. A Warm
Fuzzy cat. be a smile, a pat on the
head, or the words "I love vou." We

all need Warm Fuzzies to stay
healthy, happy people. There are
three ways we all can get Warm Fuz
zies. We can work for them and earn
them, we can receive them free for
no apparent reason (these are the
'neatest' ones), or we can even ask
for one when we are feeling low or
lonely. When we don't get many
Warm Fuzzies which usually means
we are feeling ignored or overlooked,
we will start spending time in seek
ing attention. If we can't get Warm
Fuzzies, we will then resort to getting
Cold Pricklies (you don't want to
know the examples of Cold Prick
lies) ). However, for most of us any
attention is better than no attention.
We are all so easily caught up in
the day-to-day activities of just liv
ing. We so many times assume that
our spouse or our children or our
good friends know how we feel about
them, but when was the last time we
told them or hugged them. How of
tem do we tell them? At least SO per
cent of the fifth and sixth graders
said that their favorite Warm Fuzzy
was love from their parents. Their fa
vorite Warm Fuzzies were such
things as "to get my bath and my dad
scratch my head," "when I'm loved
by my parents," "a hug or even a
talk once in a while," "a big hug from
mom," "a smile," "when dad plays
with me," and "chocolate chip coo
kies from my grandma."
It is so easy to give Warm Fuzzies.
It cost nothing and they mean so
much especially to our children. We
all have an endless supply of them so
why save them? The secret is in
knowing that we all need Warm Fuz
zies so the more you give away to oth
ers, the more you will get in return.
Good Luck!

with both the Los Angelos Rams and
the Philadelphia Eagles, spoke to the
participants, and encouraged them

TOWN COUNCIL
Operating the Town of Hertford is
an annual almost two (2) Million

other business, the town council
should have qualified individuals
overseeing this operation. I believe
that my experience for some fifty
(50) years as a businessman helps
me greatly as a member of the
town council. If I had to choose
one goal for the coming years, it
would be, "KEEP THE MONTHLY
