Included in the fifty to sixty schools represented were technical schools, business schools, nursing schools, and the traditional two- and four-year colleges from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

Webb, principal of ASHS, represented North Carolina at the National Conference of Sec ondary School Athletic Administra tors in Washington, D. C., Decem ber 2-5. An invitation for Mr. Webb to participate in the conference was received from the conference Plan ning Committee through the execu tive secretary of the American As sociation for Health, Physical Edu cation, and Recreation. The purpose of the conference was threefold: to define the role of athletics in secondap^ education, to determine the significance of the athletic program in accomplishing the objectives of secondary educa tion, and to re-evaluate administra tive procedures of the school ath letic program. Mr. Webb was one of twenty- four principals in the United States to attend the conference which was held at the NEA Building in Wash ington, D. C. Every state, with the exception of Alaska, was represent ed. The group, consisting of two hundred representatives, was di vided into smaller discussion groups for the interchanging of ideas. “All in all,” stated Mr. Webb, “it was a most successful confer ence and we soon discovered that regardless of location, athletic ad ministrative problems are very much the same.” Mr. Webb, who is recognized throughout the state as an educa tional leader in athletics, further explained that this was the first conference of this nature to be held and future conference dates are uncertain. Yule Star Shines The almost traditional sign of Christmastime at ASHS, Moravian stars, made by students in Miss Chi- cora Caughman’s solid geometry class, have once again been construct ed and brought to school where they adorned her room.
