COUNCIL PRESIDENT
GIVES WORD TO PUPILS
Bill Byers, student council president,
says, “The Student Council is to aid
the pupils—not to hinder them. Their
dut.y is not to go around and find
everything wrong they can, but to help
everyone to do right. They do not
enjoy trying pupils for misdemeanors,
but it is their job when it is necessary.
“However, if a punishment is in
flicted on a person.” says the new pres
ident, “it tends to help them, and they
should not get angry and say someone
;has a spite against them, or any such
thing.”
Greensboro High has a “big sister”
companion as she begins her semester’s
work. This plan is endorsed by the
Girls' Council. Never before has it
been tried at G. H. S. or any other
high school. It has been successful
in all the colleges and yiiss Fannie
Starr Mitchell, dean of girls, believes
it a worthwhile movement for Central
High.
Juniors will be the “big sisters” and
this will be an organization within the
Girls’ Council. Foi- the ])ast month girls
have been busy learning their “little
sisters." Letters and visits have been
the welcome extended to the new fresh
men.
“This is a movement to aid the new
pupils socially and scholastically,” de
clared the dean. Only junior girls who
do favorable work have been asked to
take a part in the welcome.
In a few weeks a party will be given
by the “big sisters” honoring the “lit
tle sisters’’ of G. H. 8.
