Four Panels Evaluate
Student Government
Ninety-six students participated
in the four panels—organization,
citizenship, student relationships
and activities—at the Eastern Dis
trict meeting of the NCSCC held in
GHS April 24.
A “free-for-all” social is given
each year to acquaint the students
with each other stated one school
in the panel on Organization, led
by Ben Hooks of Kinston. Another
school suggested that a “student-of-
the-week” award be given to get
more student participation.
The basis of the discussion on
the Citizenship panel, with Walter
Hicks presiding, was the difference
between the two methods—punish
ment and student’s action—of try
ing to solve discipline problems.
Open forum for the students con
cerned was emphasized by on,e
school as the most effective method.
In the Student Relationship panel
the three topics discussed, under
the leadership of Lessie Mallard,
were student-student, student-tea-
cher, and student-teacher- parent.
The main point brought out in the
group was that the teacher should
offer the “lending” hand by giving
council and guidance more than the
“ruling” hand.
Students should plan and carry

“The purpose of school is to help
people become more and more self
directing in a society that is becom
ing more and more social”, stated
Superintendent Ray Armstrong in
introducing the topic “Evaluation”,
for the second annual meeting of
the Eastern District of the North
Carolina Student Council Congress,
held in GHS April 24.
Mr. Armstrong emphasized the
importance of the student in stu
dent government. Each individual
should be self-directing, and a good
government directs individuals to
become self-directing.
To be successful it is necessary
for an individual to know what he
wants to succeed in, and then he
must direct himself along that line.
“Why have a student association?”
he asked. Such an oganization may
not increase grades in academic
subjects, but it helps students to
get the real meaning of democracy.
Experience is the basis of all learn
ing; so democratic experience found
in a student association is helpful
in directing its members. Democracy
can work better, not by talking
about it, but by having and using
an opportunity to practice it.
Freedom to be Achieved
Every democracy has to have
rules, but rules mean nothing unless
they have a definite effect on those
for whom they are meant. Freedom
of religion in America means noth
ing to the non-religious man. Free
dom of speech means little to the
person who knows nothing to talk
about. “Freedom“”*he ertiphasi^d,
“is something to be achieved.”
“Every member of a democracy

has a chance for leadership,” said
Mr. Armstrong. A good leader is
not necessarily one who presides
well, but a person who has enough
tact to “get things done”. A person
shows leadership every time he
makes a suggestion.
As well as stressing the import
ance of the individual, he also
recognized the importance of the
minority in a democracy. Minorities,
if they are right, may be trodden to
earth, but they will rise again.
Mr. Armstrong concluded saying,
“All life is momentous. Your life
will be successful only as you base
it on right.”
