visory Board for the Athlctic Fed
eration met in Statesville. This ad
visory Board is made up of a
student and a faculty representative
from each of the officer schools.
Since a secretary had not yet been
chosen from Meredith, Judy gladly
consented to fill this capacity and
attended to take the minutes of the
meeting. The purpose of this meet
ing was to discuss the problems girls
face in attempts to sponsor recrea
tional programs and to plan the pro
gram for the next state convention.
Next year’s convention will be
held at Western Carolina College,
the president college, in October.
The agenda will focus on discus
sion groups on the topics of sports
days, play days, inter-scolastic com-
fjetition, and inter-mural competi
tion, and the obstacles faced by
attempts to sponsor these events.
Friday afternoon of the convention
will be devoted to interest groups, at
which time the terms, such as play
day and sports day, will be clearly
defined.
The Saturday discussion will be
done in regional groups, and at
tempts will be made to plan Inter
regional competition between the
schools.
