PAGE FOUR THE VOICE MAY, 1956 DR. ROBINSON IS SPEAKER AT SOCIETY CONVOCATION Addressing himself to the topic, “The Role of the Scholar in a Changing Order,” Dr. Leonard H.

We have accom plished some of our goals by pre senting discussions to the student body and having discussions that were of interest to the Gilreath Society. One of the discussions was led by Donald West; in it he compared modern jazz to jazz of the past. This proved to be an en lightening discussion and was en joyed by all members of the so ciety. The Gilreath Club has sponsored such timely discussions as “The I.C.C. Ruling and Its Effect” and “The Autherine Lucy Case and the Bus Boycott.” During the meet ing of the NADSA Conference, the Gilreath members sponsored and participated in a discussion on “Has Integration Gone Too Far Too Fast?” These discussions have aided in helping the students keep informed about the struggle for integration. In the last weeks, the Gilreath Society has sponsored a political party which has candidates run ning for student government pres ident and vice-president. This party, “The Progressives,” is open to all members of the student body and it should enable each student to practice real-life voting pro cesses. Plans are also in the making for a spring carnival to be held May 25. Save your pennies, fellows!

These visits, together with lib rary and classroom projects, in cluding an animal feeding experi ment, have been utilized as means o£ acquainting beginning teachers with some of the problems which arise among malnourished pupils in school. Recent surveys show that the greatest amount of im provement in children’s eating habits can be achieved if efforts are begun early. Since American children spend a greater portion of their day at school, their par ticipation in the National School Lunch Program is a very import ant part of their education as all subjects taught in school can be correlated with learnings in the school cafeteria. It is our philoso phy that the teacher, if actively in terested in the well-being and health status of his or her charges, can be the source of increasing pupils’ participation which will ul timately carry over into their homes.

We are living at a time when it is increasingly important that stu dents invest their time wisely if they are to assume their rightful places in the society of tomorrow.
