Delegates Report on Student Meet

gates to a meeting of the North
Carolina State Student Council
Congress, which was held in Eliz
abeth City on October 20, 21, and
22, gave reports of the meeting
in a recent SA assembly.
Donald gave a report of the trip
there, registration, the first gen
eral assembly, and the discussion
group he attended. The name of
the discussion group was “Organ
ization of School Government.”
One of the questions asked during
the discussion was “Why organize
a student association or student
government?” Answers to this
question were, to bring students
and schools together, to take care
of aU business or conflicting things
that arise in the school, and to
turn out leaders for the town, state,
and world. Another question
brought up was, “How would you
start an SA?” The answer to this
was be sure the students want it,
then talk to the principal and fa
culty. The next thing would be
to arouse the interest of the stu
dents.
Other problems discussed in that
group were the principal and stu
dent problem, the lunchroom
problem, conflicting activities, and
outsiders at SA socials.
Donald also reported on the
banquet and dance held on Tues
day night. The speaker for the
occasion was the superintendent
of the Elizabeth City schools.
