After presenting it for the inspec
tion of the Student Legislators, we
were surprised and more than a;
little dismayed to see it torn to bits
and shreds by some whom we had
considered to be on our side. We
were filled with ironic satisfaction
to see it attacked by those whom
we knew to be in opposition. But
when it was all over, many dele
gates readily admitted that ours was
the best written bill submitted and
that basically our idea was good.
These comments helped to soothe
our feelings a bit.
Looking back when the final ses
sion was ended and wc were return
ing to school, we tried to analyze
what wc felt about the Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday wc had spent
sitting as a Model legislature. Tliat!
question is both easy and difficult
to answer. It is easy in that we all
realized the invaluable educational
experience wc had obtained and
friendships we had made. N. C. j
State had again proved to be our |
big brother, always advising and
voting for us. Other schools had
again proved to be our opposition.
It was all part of the experience in
which we learned a great deal about
legislation, parlianienlary proce
dure, politics and politicking, But
perhaps most important of all. wc
learned a great deal about people
and life,
It is difficult to answer the qucs-
lion of exactly what attending the
Legislature meant to us. But'per

way when upon taking leave of the
