Editor’s Note: The Perry County News is publishing a series of interviews conducted by eighth-graders in Joyce Stath’s English class at Tell City Junior-Senior High School. The interviews are of people one or two generations older than students. Today’s column is by Breanna Swaney, who profiles her grandmother, Darla Jordan.

For years several groups have been trying to get the Washington Redskins National Football League team to change its name.

The issue was brought to the forefront again last week after Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, was recorded making racist comments. He was fined $2.5 million by the NBA and permanently banned from operating the team.

The junior-class officers of Tell City Junior-Senior High School would like to thank everyone in the school and community who helped to make this year's prom a huge success.

Thank you to the school administration, faculty and staff and sophomore prom workers Adriana Corso, Sydney Brown, Dakota Henderson, Mitchell Hall, Gaby Arellano, Jessie Wheatley, Allison Condor and Mary Grace Alvey.

Thanks also to the students who helped set up Friday night, the junior-class parents and After-Prom Committee, Becky Owen, Rachel East, Julie Wooldridge and  Dan Hall.
