Accordiiifi to the bill passed by the
council, one r(‘presentative will be
elected monthly from each home room
to attend all the sessions of the
forum Air that month. The bill also
provides that any stud(>nt shall be
eliKil>l* for election as his room rep-
res(“ntative, but each representative
must report the discussion I)ack to his
home room within five school days
after tin* foiaim takes place.
Tn order that the discussions may
be k(‘pt interestinpr, they will be limited
to current topics which are of inter
est to the student body at large, but
they may be concerned with school,
city, state, Jiational or international

Afford ireffer Discussions
"'rills method of having the forums
was planned because the auditorium
is not always available for programs,
and a much better discussion can be
h('ld with a small group present,” Mrs.
Estelle Lettwin, faculty advi.ser to the
coum-il, stated last wi*ok.

Merry Christmas
From
"Started almost two decades ago,
the present honor roll award system
at Senior liigh school has changed
very little since 1021, at which time
it was established by the Civitan club
of Greensboro,” stated Principal A. P.
Eouth, when queried on the subject
yesterday.
Purpose of Awards Stated
The Civitans, seeking some tangible
way to reward those students who
distinguish themselves scholastically,
inaugurated the system of presenting
pins. In the course of 20 years, the
Civitan club has contributed generously
to the fund set up for purchasing the
honor badges. “Wlien a student makes
the honor roll for the first time, he is
entitled to wear a bronze pin. Silver
and gold pins are given after making
the roll a number of consecutive
times,” Mr. Boutli explained.
The honor pins are being distributed
in pi’actically the same manner as that
of 20 years ago. There liave, of course,
been several necessary changes. When
there were four grades, the pins were
awarded on the basis of semesters:
when there were three grades, they
were presented by years. At the pres
ent time, however, since there are only
two grades, the plan has been once
more changed to semesters.

“At the present time, fourteen sen

for two years; seven are wearing sil
ver stars, and many juniors have been
awarded bronze ones,” concluded Mr.
Boutli.
