Middle School highlights On Thursday, October 20, sev enth and eighth grade students at Perquimans Middle School en joyed a delightful musical produc tion entitled "Hooray For Me!" The performance was made avail able through the State Department free of charge to schools in North Carolina. Presented by the Peri winkle Players of the National The ater for Young Audiences, the con tent dealt with self awareness during the teen age years. Devel oped from writings by teenagers, the actors and actresses did a ter rific job of interpreting adolescent concerns of popularity, indepen dence, and self-esteem. A study guide was made available to teach ers prior to the production. Follow up activities were also used during homeroom time. The students in Mrs. Modlin's homeroom recently participated in the Democratic process of voting to elect class officers. The students learned about the duties of the offi cers and then campaigned for the position of their choice. Voting was held by secret ballot. The officers elected are: President - Kristie S tailings; Vice-President - Gre gory Chambers; Secretary - Tully Langley; Treasurer - Chonda Sheard; Parliamentarian - Mi chael Clinkscales. Students are learning basic par liamentarian procedures, addres sing school concerns, and having fun in the process. The Perquimans Middle School Football Tigers clinched their third conference championship in four years Thursday as they defeated Knapp Junior High 12 to 6. The Tigers scored first on a 6 yard run by Ronnie Hunter. Their second score came on a 35 yard fumble recovery by Kwane Ever ett. The defense was led by Terry Holley, Cal Bright, Torris Johnson and Kwane Everett. The Tigers play Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Perquimans High. Mrs. Linda Needham's 6th grade Language Arts classes have taken part in a Weekly Reader Presi dential Goal Activity. Each class voted on the goal it thinks the next President of the United States should give first priority. The classes chose 3 different goals: 1. Stop sale and use of illegal drugs; 2. Help the poor, hungry, and homeless; 3. Support research to find cure for Aids. The students wrote a paragraph describing the goal and drew a poster illustrating it. One par agraph and one poster from each class will be voted on to be sub mitted to the Weekly Reader. In January, we will hear how our goals rank with 6th graders in the nation. The following paragraph se lected by Class I on "Stop Uie sale and use of illegal drugs" was writ ten by Chemise Overton: Working to stop the sale and use of illegal drugs was the goal our class decided that the next presi dent's most important job should be. We chose this because we think he could influence people to stop killing themselves. Also, in our teen-age years and for the future, young people who come into this world can have a drug-free envi ronment. The next president should try to free schools of drugs and support no smoking in public eating places, planes and public vehicles. There should be more funding for drug-free programs and for increased law enforce ment. Stricter laws and more se vere punishment should be given to offenders. These are some of the reasons my class chose "Stop the Sale and Us of Illegal Drugs" as the next president's mo6t important job.

JOE'S PLACE DAILY LUNCH BUFFETS *3.75 Grubb St. Extd., Hertford Dr. A.F.Downum OPTOMETRIST A CORNEAL DEFECT Astigmatism is a defect of the cornea that does not permit light rays passing through it to meet in a single focal point. When this happens, the images we see tend to blur. Headaches, squinting and fatigue may also occur. Most people have at least a small degree of astigmatism be cause few corneas are as perfectly round (spherical) as nature intended them to be. The more imperfect the cornea sphere, the more one sees blurred images. Astigmatism may exist as an eye defect by itself. Generally, astigmatism coexist with nearsightedness or farsightedness. A proper prescription that corrects astigmatism is incorporated into the correction for any other eye condition you have have, and enables you to see clearly. Sometimes it takes a short period of time to adjust to the correction for astigmatism. Dr. A.F. DOWNUM 103 W. Eden St. Edenton, N.C.
