As we are learning in History, tobacco may have saved the first English speaking colony, Jamestown, Virginia, from financial failure but in the words of the King of England himself, James I: " Smoking is a custom loathsome to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless."
Students have memorized this quote to be recited during next Monday morning's assembly. Each class hosts one of these Monday "Town Meetings." We will be calling attention to the campaign for a Tobacco Free Florida.
