From The Principal IBy Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School

It's time to pay tribute to the wonderful members of this cofnm unity who support our schools with their votes and their hearts. On April -2 our budget and bond issue passed with comfortable majorities. This is one way of supporting our youngsters and our program. On May 3 we announced to our seniors that they could apply for 74 local scholarships and awards that have been presented by community agencies and in-

dividuals who are very bullish on our students. There may be schools where scholarship awards will top ours in dollar value, but I have never heard of a school with the wide range of participation that compares to our total of 74 awards. The sources of these investments in our seniors varies greatly and includes school organizations, religious groups, civic agencies, municipal grants, gifts from individuals and businesses, from large groups and small for achievement in academics, athletics, the arts, business and citizenship. Each award will be listed in our gradution program, and each recipient will represent the pride of this community in its youth. On behalf of the students, staff and administration of this high school we thank you for your support and encouragement. DURING THE PAST two weeks there have been some outstanding efforts put forth by some of our students who excel in some very quiet endeavours. For instance, the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America held a Statewide skill Olympics in Princeton, and two of our students won first place medals in their fields. Donna Thompson took a first in the individual occupational job demonstration, and Joyce Knight took a first place in leadership development. Dps At the Atlantic Community College Business Symposium Laura St. Clair won first prize in the Business Law Competition and Teofilo Bacungan won a first place in the retailing competition. Other students who placed were Michele Boyd, Ted Harris, Keating Weinberger, Linda MacCarter and Melvin McDaniels. Howard Souder returned last week from a week-long congressional seminar in Washington, D.C. where he was sponsored by our Board of Education to represent this school in a legislative workshop for highly motivated high school seniors. Heather Dillon, a freshman placed first overall in the U.S. Marine Corps physical fitness test entered by 35 high schools in the tristate area. (Our girls fitness team finished fourth among the schools entered. ) Accomplishments such as these often go unnoticed, but the quality of our students and our program must be a source of great pridq to this community. We have 74 scholarships to support that fact. 1 <

Our Readers Write Guard Brings Job Turndown To The Editor: The National Goard in Cape May County is one of the best trained and equipped. These people are there whenever a bad storm, flood, or other catastrophe happens. They are trained and ready to go at a moment's notice. We should all be grateful for this. When the bad storm of '78 and the flood of '84 happened, the Guard was there. They served all, rich or poor, with no questions asked. Recently, I was at a friend's home for coffee. I was surprised when the lady's husband told me he had filled an application for employment. He went for the interview. While he was being interviewed for the job, the prospective hirer asked, "Do you belong to the National Guard?" He replied, "Yes." He was told to "forget it," so the man returned to his family. I wonder why a prospective employer would turn down anyone in the Guard? They are family people and are there to protect us all. We all should be grateful for the services the National Guard renders in Cape May County. MARJORIE GALAMORE Sea Isle City Residents Outpay Commercial Sector i To The Editor: „ i Several issues ago you reported that attorney Fred Schmidt spoke before the Cape May City'Council and announced that the commercial sector pays more taxes to the city than the residential. i I feel Schmidt is in error. According to the city tax I assessor, the residential interests provided over two- | thirds of the revenue to the city. The remainder was provided by the commercial interests. • < The commercial sector needs to be more responsible for its actions. If a business wants to increase revenues, then I it will have to invest capital. The commercial sector must not depend on the residents to pick up the tab to enhance I \ its revenues. We carry enough as it is. I I hope that Schmidt will reconsider his statement to city i council in light of the above information. CRAIG VAN BAAL i Cape May I

Joyride III Jk By Libby Demp Forrest v JJ" J I was raised in a home where there were white sheets and white pillow cases on the beds. That was in an era before anyone ever thought of fitted sheets. Bed making was a matter of pushing and lifting a mat tress around, and when you got into bed at night the aroma of Clorox stayed in the nostrils. Everything changes sooner in later. It 's become more and more difficult to find old-fashioned white sheets, and it's getting tougher to even find one sheet without having to buy a set. . _ — WHILE IT'S TRUE that once you turn out the lights at night, it doesn't make much difference whether sheets are white or florq^or plaid. I'm still having a problem with snuggling up at night in sheets inspired by Soap operas. Yes, there are now sheets that are a spin-off from TV fame. I'm rarely at home when the soaps are on. but the few soaps I've seen over the years make me a bit fearful of going to bed between sheets that are inspired by people who have so many problems. When I go to bed at night I want to sleep; I don't want to lie awake wondering who might be out there plotting. ADMITTEDLY, the sheets, pillowcases, and comforters are georgeous. They are a little on the expensive side, but we all know you get what you pay for Any time I've watched a soap. I've taken note that the characters live very well. They are also beautiful, thin and ... well, sexy. Thereby the spin-off for suitable bed linens. When I tallied up what it would cost to climb into soap opera linens, it kind of brought home the fact that there wouldn't by anything left over for even a wisp of the nightie. Is that what the soap opera linens are supposed to do? I take my comfort, though, from the fact that there are other soaps for which my old white sheets and pillow cases would qualify. There's always "General Hospital". B M
