Both of us have taken part in an interview broadcast over WBUY in celebration of United Nation’s Day.

NCSCC HELD IN ASHEVILLE 5 L.S.H.S. Delegates Attend —By PERRY GRIMES The delegates and advisor who went to the Student Council Con gress in Asheville were Barry Vi liiiaiiis, ri.ciixij' owuig, jje,inad Burke, Jean Olive Snyder, Perry Grimes, and Mr. Frank Qark. The host for the convention was Lee Edwards High School, Ashe ville; but the meetings and dis cussions were held in the George Vanderbilt and Battery Park Hotels. Lexington delegates arrived on Sunday at the Vanderbilt Hotel where they were instructed to where they were to stay. That night they had a snack supper and afterward they heard Mr. Charles W. Philips, Director of Public Relations, W.C.U.N.C., Greensboro, speak on “What of Tomorrow?” All day Monday, discussion groups were held on ways and means of bettering the school and the Student Council. Monday night, delegates were guests at a banquet and dance in the Van derbilt Hotel. On Tuesday morning, there was the third and final general ses sion of the convention. Around lunch time, all had said their good-byes and were leaving for home. During all of the Congress, everyone was conscious of the general theme “Practice on the Present-Focus on the Future”. The Lexington delegation came home thinking of the things that were said and done at the 34 An nual North Carolina Student Coun cil Congress, and determining to benefit from the convention, both from a personal and school stand point. This citizen has displayed his leadership ability by serving on the Student__Council for four years, Demg i member of he House of Representatives his Freshman year, a class Repre sen'ative to the Student Coun cil his Sophomore year, Vice- President of the student body his Junior year, and presently is serving as President of Lexing ton Senior High School. He re cently represented his school at the North Carolina Student Coun cil Congress in Asheville. Al though he is also a member of the Monogram Club, DeMolay, and football team, he still finds time to maintain a high scholas tic average which is proven by his being a member of the Hon or Society and being chosen as a Junior Class Marshall. His win ning personality and characteris tic dependability have led his class to select him for the sen ior superlative MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED.
