PllJ/ty>u The Spectator Volume Xo. VI J. F. WEBB HIGH SCHOOL, OXFORD. X. C.,, OCTOBER 31. 1969 No. 1 DEBRA FOX Sept. Student Of The Month Chosen Vivacious Debra Fox has been chosen as the Student of the Month for September. There is hardly any activity in the school in which she has not participated. Debra has served as J. V. and Varsity Cheerleader for the past three years and is our current chief. She has held offices in both years of French and Latin and was chosen the 1968 Empress. Just as active in other clubs, Debra has participat ed in the F.T.A., Science, and Pep Clubs. Her classmates chose Debra for four years to represent them in the Homecoming Court. She has served on the Wildcat Staff and was As sociate Editor her junior year. She devotes time outside the school to M.Y.F. and Explorer Scouts. Even with all these time-consum ing activities, Debra has maintained an A average, is a member of the National Honor Society, and is a Marshal. Congratulations, Debra, for an honor well deserved! Upper Classmen Attend College Night Program Juniors and Seniors from the Granville County high schools at” tended “Education Beyond High School” night on Thursday evening, September 25. This activity was planned in an effort to familiarize the students with the wide range of schools they have to choose from in deciding upon the college of their choice. From seven o’clock until nine o’clock, students and their par ents had the opportunity to visit rep resentatives from the different col leges, business schools, technical schools, and nursing schools. Approximately 300 students came to learn more about North Carolina colleges. These students came from South Granville, John Nichols, Mary Potter, Toler, and Webb High Schools. Almost all the colleges represented reported that grades and class rank are more important than the score received on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Also, most of the colleges are in building programs and will have more room for students this year. Surely those who attended “Col lege Night” know how helpful it was to them. Having compared the merits of the various colleges, a de cision becomes easier. A coffee hour was held afterwards for the representatives as a gesture of appreciation. Student Council Positions Filled By New Students To make the Student Council rep resentative of all factions of students at Webb, the transfer students from Mary Potter were allowed to elect representatives from their numbers to fill the homeroom positions which were not filled by election in the spring of 1969. Though this pol icy met with some dissention, it was felt that if the Student Coun cil was not to defeat its purpose it was necessary. At the first Student Council meeting a group of Junior transfer students from Mary Potter asked that they be given a representative at large on the Coun cil on the grounds that they had no representative from their sizeable number. The Student Council a- greed and this position was filled by Phyllis Coley. Student handbooks printed by last years’ Student Council with the leadership of Bill Mitchell and Mike O’Brian were given out in home rooms early this year. It is hoped that these handbooks will be of great assistance to all students in answer ing any questions they might have concerning the school’s policies. The executive committee of Mary Potter High School headed by President Wilhelmenia Bass was the guest of the Student Council at its second meeting. Discussed at this meeting was the possibility of show ing an entertainment movie with no charge to Webb students on the night "Of October 14. There is a wide selection of film titles avail able to be shown for the students’ enjoyment. Homecoming plans were discussed at this meeting. Special credit should be given to Glenda Currin, Cindy Ross, Rosalyn Mack” ie, Peggy Bryan, and Mike Peters for their work in connection with this very special occasion. Plans are progressing to send four delegates and one advisor to the North Carolina Student Council Congress to be held at Enloe High School in Raleigh from November 9 to 11. In the past great benefits have come from similar meetings. On October 8, the executive com mittees of Mary Potter, Toler, and Webb High Schools met to discuss possible merger procedures. It was decided that a committee should be set up consisting of two members, one junior and one sophomore, from each of the student bodies to ac quaint each other with the others’ school policies. The annual Student Council bar becue is set for November 22. We hope that all students will become involved in this large project. Any profits will go to the betterment of Webb. ICT Sfudenis Work At Concerns “We again have quality students in our ICT program at Webb,” said Mr. Hogsett, ICT coordinator, speaking of his students this year. ICT is an Industrial Cooperative Training program designed for stu dents who receive instruction in the classroom during the morning and work during the afternoon for on the job training. These students not only receive a grade in the classroom, but they are graded each day at their job. J. F. Webb High School has found jobs for thirty-five students this year in v-arious businesses and industrial concerns in Granville County.

Band Members Boost Our Spirits Have you got the beat? “Yeah man,” may be your reply if you happen to be in a sixth per iod class at Webb this year. Drum cadence may be annoying, but they are necessary for the “endless” prac tices of the J. F. Webb High School marching band.
