The principals of Rappahannock’s schools will have a mixed reaction at the end of this week when they learn whether half the students in their schools observed TV-Tumoff Week April 24-30.
RCES Principal Raye Tupper,who agreed to kiss a pig if most of the students at Rappahannock Elementary spent the week without TV, has been making inquiries about the type of pig it will be.
“It’ll be clean, won’t it?” she asked one organizer. Then as an afterthought she murmured, “I don’t suppose there are any diseases one can get from a pig?”
Mr. Smith, her assistant principal, seemed less concerned, though he had also agreed to kiss a pig. “I don’t think the majority of students are going to turn in TV-Tumoff pledge cards,” he observed.
At the high school, it crossed Principal Jack Raines’ mind that if he switches places with a student for a day, as Mr. Raines agreed to do if 200 students went TV-free for the week, the student-principal might spend the d^y drinking Coke with his feet on Mr. Raines’ desk while Mr. Raines is struggling through geometry.
Ironically, though, school personnel have contributed to making TVTumoff Week a success, thus making it more likely that Mrs. Tupper, Mr. Smith and Mr. Raines will have to live through their minor ordeals.
At the high school, baseball coach . Donn Hackney suffered through the week without watching a single televised game.
