Did you know that Elliott Abel^
is no longer Elliott Abeles? His
name has been changed to Mar
garet! You see, it happen’d just
this way—: One day, in his third
period chemistry class, Mr. Ishee
popped a question to Margaret

responding to “Margaret” ever

The new chorus number which

For the past four years, Mr.

turned away at the door. This
presentation always highlights the
Christmas season for High Point
ers. No admission is charged.
Student Panels Discuss
Problems Facing Youth
Goldsboro High School was host
to the 23rd North Carolina Student
Council Congress October 24-26
when school representatives from
all parts of the state assembled.
Barbara Short, Thomas Mauldin,
Upper House representatives: and
John Hayworth, Lower House
member, served as the official
delegates from High Point High
School. This trio was accompanied
by Miss Louise Hunter, Student
Council adviser. The lack of hous
ing facilities made it impossible
for Goldsboro to accommodate
more than four persons from each
school, three student delegates and
a faculty member. The delegates
stayed in private homes of Golds
boro citizens.
The convention began Monday
and lasted through Wednesday,
having for the theme “Tomorrow
Belongs to Those Who Prepare To
day.” This theme was carried into
panel discussions by students. Dur
ing these panels delegates ex
changed ideas and discussed vari
ous problems which arise for a
council worker.
On the N.C.S.C.C. social calen
dar for the first evening was a
barbecue to encourage making
new acquaintances among the dele
gates. A comedy was presented
for the group by Goldsboro High
School dramatic club. On the last
night of the conference a semi-
formal dance was held to honor
all the delegates.
