Burwell/ Deifell, Holderness Vie For Major Position
April 8,9 To Be Dates For Convention
Sandra Holderness, John Burwell, and Jey Deifell have all filed application for the office
of student body president, thereby necessitating a preliminary convention April 8 and 9, ac
cording to James Spence, election committee chairman.
Last year there was no need for a convention as only two persons vied for the major posi
tions; therefore, convention proceedings are relatively new to rising seniors and juniors.
Conventions at GHS are designed to narrow the number of persons running for major offices
' down to two.

Local Jr. Engineers
To Present Program
At Winston Gathering
Greensboro Senior High’s Junior
Engineers Club will present a pro
gram for the dinner meeting of
the Winston-Salem Engineers Club
Tuesday, April 9, in Winston-
Salem.
The Senior High club; because
of its high rating in this area, was
selected to provide the program.
The series of television programs
now being sponsored by the local
group is one of the reasons that
it was picked. The experience
gained in putting on the television
shows should help in preparing
for a demonstration of this type.
Recently the Winston-Salem En
gineers gave the Greensboro Jun
ior Engineers three solar cells
worth about $25 each. These solar
cells are silicon batteries which
convert sunlight into electricity.
To show their appreciation the
club plans to use these solar bat
teries in its demonstrations for
the dinner meeting.
'The program will be' 15 minutes
long and will be divided into two
parts. M. W. Sharer, adviser to
Senior’s Junior Engineers Club,
will be general supervisor of the
program.
Each home room will conduct
a primary election April 4. At
’ that time they will elect two dele
gates to represent them at the
convention, which will be closely
modeled after national party con
ventions. Secretary of the present
Student Council, Sandra HoMer-
ness, will call the roll of home
rooms. Each home room will cast
two votes for the candidate of its
choice, and the first two persons
receiving the greatest number of
votes will be officially added to
the 1957-58 ballot.
