A Periscope Of Our Student Government Association The boat has taken off for success as our S.G.A. Presi dent, Miss Edna Hathaway strives to maintain a pleasant atmosphere here at E.C.S.U. Miss Hathaway and her staff: Melvin Parker, Vice President; Arlenzard Liverman, Secretary; Patricia Roberts, Correspond ing Secretary: Sundra Bray, Recording Secretary; and Dor othy Wilson, Treasurer, spent many long hot summer days working for the benefit of our students. The result of their work is being brought before each student in hope that they have not worked in vain. Our S.G.A. Officers have implemented several programs this semester which proved to be a source of enrichment in some way for everyone: our students, faculty, staff, and community. The presence of Mayor Johnny Ford, Chuck Jackson and other admirable people were inspiring to all. Our social life on campus has improved which makes aca demic life easier to cope with. More programs are being proposed and carried out as our leaders go about their duties with the student body in mind. We must realize, however, that our leaders are students and must strive to receive the education they are here for as well as carry on their duties as officers. These people have done a great job thus (ar and should be given a standing ovation. Our S.G.A. officers are going to keep on “trucking” for their cause and ours, so maybe the student body will do likewise. Out Of The Darkness Comes The Light THE COMPASS.
