GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL, OCTOBER 2, 1931
Governing Body Inaugurated;
House of Representatives Holds
Its First Meeting September 23
The newly organized House of Rep
resentatives held its first meeting on
September 23 in the Glee ehib room
at the regular ehapel period. Jack
Nowlin, president of the student body,
presided, and first conducted an elec
tion of orticers. Bill Venning and Mar
garet Knight were nominated for the
side and Phyllis Hagedorn were nomi-
ofiice of chairman, and Martha Biirn-
nees for secretary. Bill ^’enning and
Martha Burnsides were elected. Then
the president and the two faculty ad
visers, Miss Sara Lesley and Miss Nora
Chaffin, spoke to the representatives,
welcoming them and explaining the
purpose and the duties of the organi
zation.
Althougli the Student Council has
been functioning for some time at
G. H. S., the members have known
their classmates and their opinions in
a general way only. The need of a
more direct representation of the stu
dent body therefore, was felt. The
idea of a House of Representatives
was conceived and presented for the
approval of the student body, which
voted for it unanimously.
The first duty of the representatives,
as pointed out by I'resideut Nowlin,
was to work up some enthusiasm for
the football games; if possible, to have
the entire student body and the fac
ulty present to cheer the team,
A discussion of the activity cards
was then held. For the satisfaction
of all present, the number of
were counted and the results were
found to be less than 500, It was de
cided to give the students one more
chance and if the outcome was more
satisfactory the activity cards would
be put on sale. It was thought that
the number would come nearer that
required if each member would talk to
his session room aod urge his class
mates to put in their votes for the
activity cards, which prov-ed their
worth last year.
The membership of the House of
Representatives consists of represen
tatives from every session room and
every charter organization in the high
school. The following students were
chosen as representatives of their ses
sion rooms: 1. Ruth Couch, 2. Charles
Banks, 4. Lois Russell, 5. M’ayland
