THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20,2020 B5 COA Pins Practical Nursing Class of 2020 BY SUBMITTED REPORT ELIZABETH CITY — Col lege of The Albemarle (COA) hosted its class of 2020 Prac tical Nursing Pinning at the end of July. COA faculty and staff wanted to ensure grad uates experienced a tradi tional ceremony with their families to share in on their achievement. Social distanc ing measures were put into place in order to host this event. The pinning was very special as each graduate had the opportunity to personal ly thank their family, friends, instructors and classmates. Special recognition was giv en to Kendahl Dunn for re ceiving the Academic Excel lence Award along with the Program Distinction Award. Dunn stated, “Graduating from this program gave her a rebirth of new life for both she and her son.” Crystal Schultz received the Mildred W. Moore Nurs ing Excellence Award. This award is selected by vote from both COA faculty and classmates to honor the stu dent who excels in all facets of the program. Robin Harris, Dean of Health Sciences and Wellness Programs and the PN Program Coordinator, acknowledged the class officers President Hallie James, Vice President Bailie Midgett,Treasurer Al yson Stephenson and Secre tary Amber McWee for their service. She also thanked the many health care part ners, facilities, and precep tors involved with clinical experiences; as well as the faculty for making the nec essary changes to adapt their instruction to the challenges COVID-19 presented and their dedication and hard work during this transition. She added, “It takes a village to grow a nurse” and welcomed students “to the world of he roes -the profession of nurs ing”. The 18 graduates make up COA’s 43rd Annual class how ever, that predates the pro gram coming over from the hospital in 1963, which would actually make this the Fif ty-Seventh practical nursing class in this region’s history. The 2020 graduating class was made up of students from the college’s seven county service area and truly rep resents the region in which these graduates will go on to serve in their profession.

HISTORY Continued from B4 Little Eva had some modest success with other songs but none equaled the popularity of “The Loco-Mo tion.” The song has the dis tinction of being one of the few to reach #1 in three dif ferent decades with three different artists. Grand Funk Railroad in 1974 and Kylie Minogue in 1987 were the other two. Boyd died in Kinston in 2003. Spaniards Invade Beaufort On August 26, 1747, Spanish privateers at tacked and plundered Beaufort. The attack was the latest in a multi-year period of assaults by the Spanish on the largely un defended coast of North Carolina. It dramatically demonstrated the constant threat posed by the Span ish on the small British colony. Small or not, after three days under siege, the col ony’s inhabitants fought back and drove the pri vateers away. From re cords it is clear that some Spanish captives were tak en in the skirmish. What was called “the alarm” was in effect until September when it became clear that the marauders would not be returning. The next year, howev er, the Spanish attacked and temporarily drove away the inhabitants of Brunswick. As part of an inter-colonial war with the Spanish and French that had roots in Brit ain’s battles with the two countries, the skirmish es ended in 1748 with a treaty that was but a brief respite before the French and Indian War began in 1754. Death of Governor, UNC President David Lowry Swain On August 27, 1868, Da vid Lowry Swain, president of the University of North Carolina and former gov ernor, died at age 67. His death was the result of a buggy accident on August 11. Initially buried at his Chapel Hill home, he was later reinterred in Raleigh’s Oakwood Cemetery. A native of Buncombe County, Swain became rec ognized as an advocate for western interests, internal improvements and pro gressive government. The General Assembly elected him to his first term as gov ernor in 1832. Swain called for the constitutional conven tion which met in Raleigh in July 1835, and to him, more than anyone else, belongs the credit for the accomplishments of that meeting, including crucial reforms in the methods of representation and the election of governors by popular vote. In 1835, Swain wife elected UNC president and won the respect of both students and faculty for his administrative ability, personality and integrity. Though the state experi enced severe hardships during the Civil War, Swain managed to keep the uni versity open. As Sherman’s army ap proached Raleigh in the spring of 1865, Swaifi played a role in surrender ing the state capital and in securing assurances that the university would not be harmed.
