Youth Help
Less Fortunate
Nine students took part in a
conference concerning retarded
children Saturday, September
20, in Winston-Salem.
Dr. Alanson Hinman, director
of the Developmental Evaluation
Clinic of Forsyth County
conducted a question-answer
session concerning problems in
working with retarded children.
Information on forming a
local chapter of the
Youth-North Carolina
Association for Retarded
Children was available.
David Sutton, Marlyn Massey,
Susan Squires, Shep Russell, Joy
Preslar, Monte Burleson, Lynn
Chivington, Susan Chandler, and
Joe Edwards participated in the
conference.
The Youth-NCARC plans to
provide volunteer service to the
mentally retarded, to assist in
creating community awareness
and understanding of the
mentally retarded, and their
special needs and abilities, to
acquire first hand knowledge of
career opportunities in the field
of mental retardation and
related vocations, to develop
leadership abilities in order to
insure continuing individual and
organizational improvement in
preparation for developing
“leaders of tomorrow”, to
encourage and aid in the
formation of additional state
and local units of
Youth-NCARC, and to meet and
work with other young people
who share this common interest
concern.
The student body elected
Carrie Davis, Marva Morgan, and
Paula Williams to serve as
honorary Student Council
representatives this year.
Newly elected members will
attend meetings and participate
in all business and activities of
the Council.
Early Advises
“What’s the use? You can’t
win ’em all.”
“You can’t change human
nature.”
“Everybody’s doing it.”
These remarks provided the
subject for Dr. Jack Early in a
third period assembly for the
installation of Student Council
officers September 19.
Dr. Early, president of
Pfeiffer College, emphasized the
uniqueness of the individual in
our republic and urged students
to recognize the limitations,
abilities, and potentials of the
individual. He challenged
students to set their own
standards and make room for
the creative individual.
The assembly consisted of
Student Council officers and
representatives, led by the
marshals. Ernie Whitley, student
body president, opened the
assembly. Ricky Carpenter, vice
president, led devotions, the
National Anthem, and the
Pledge of Allegiance.
After briefly addressing the
students, Mr. Warren Hawkins,
principal, administered the oath
of office to the officers and
representatives and the pledge of
loyalty to the student body.
Along with Rocky
Funderburk, elected homeroom
representative, Black students
now number four among the
twenty-eight Council members.
The percentage of Black
participation is one-seventh, the
same percentage held in
membership of the total student
body.
Students who filed petitions
for Council membership are
Carrie Davis and Gwen Davis,
seniors; Bonnie Brooks, Marva
Morgan, and Aquadella Rivers,
juniors; and Dwight Funderburk,
Linda Kelly, Brenda Pemberton,
Alicia Thomas, and Paula
Williams, sophomores.
The special election was made
possible by the Student Council.
Last year they amended the S.
O. Constitution, as stated in the
Blue and White Handbook, in
order to assure equal
representation on the Council.
Section one of the
amendment states that certain
elected Negro representatives
join the representatives from
each homeroom, members of the
Executive Board, class
presidents, and publications
editors as members of the
Council.
Section two grants them the
power of voting in the Council.
A third section of the
amendment specifies the manner
of election of Black
representatives.
Section four states that the
amendment shall be reviewed for
renewal or nullification in the
1971-72 school year. The
principal and student council
will then consider the
amendment’s validity.
Chocolate Boots Loot
The chocolate sale kick-off
assembly, held Thursday,
October 2, once again reminded
students of their roles as
chocolate salesmen.
Rocky Funderburk presided
over the assembly. He explained
that the chocolate sale is the
school’s only fund raising
project and therefore affects all
students. Most of the money
raised will be used by school
clubs and the Junior class. Each
class president presented a
speech urging his class to outsell
other classes.
This year’s sale is being
conducted much the same as last
year’s. Competition will be on
class, homeroom, and individual
levels. Prizes of tliirty, twenty,
ten, and five dollars will be
awarded to the top four
salesmen.
A weekly mystery buyer will
participate in the chocolate sale.
The student who discovers and
sells chocolate to this buyer
receives five dollars.
The homeroom selling the
most chocolate receives a special
surprise.
Patsy Pea Shooter, Paul Plowjock, and Heather the Hippie tell
why they like World’s Finest Chocolate in the annual “kick off”
assembly.
