Two Students To Attend
Girls’ State This Summer
Carole Lineberry and Nancy
McNairy have been chosen dele
gates to Girls’ State on the Wom
an’s College campus, June 17-23.
Approximately 300 girls from all
parts of North Carolina will at
tend.
The aim of these girls during
the seven days which they are to
gether is to make a thorough study
of state and local government. The
group is divided into two political
parties, and campaigning, nomina
tions, and elections ensue. Each
party is allowed to present its
own platform to the convention.
Several trips are in store for
the girls. One day they will go to
Durham, where they will receive a
brief tour of the Duke University
campus. They also journey to
Raleigh, have dinner at N. C.
State College, and meet in some
of the government buildings. The
installation of the newly elected
officers takes place in the House
of Representatives, where Gover
nor Sanford or some other state
official will speak to the group.
The trip also includes a visit to
the Governor’s Mansion.
Meet With Boys’ State
On Friday of that week, the
girls will travel to Chapel Hill
for a visit to the planetarium
(and to Boys’ State). According
to Miss Ruth Scarborough, counse
lor for the two delegates, this
evening is usually the climax of
the week.
Mr. Charlie Phillips from Wom
an’s College is in charge of Girls’
State, and most of the instructors
come from the staff of WC. The
agenda includes lectures and dis
cussions, often with outstanding
speakers. Parliamentary proced
ure is gone over thoroughly with
the group. Last year Thad Eure,
treasurer of the state of North
Carolina, installed the new offi
cers of Girls’ State, during which
the governor takes the actual oath
of office for the North Carolina
governor.
Most high schools send one rep
resentative to the gathering, but
larger student bodies are allowed
two delegates. This is determined
by the number of students in the
schools.
Water Problem Discussed
During the business meetings
the girls discuss local and state
affairs: the water j)roblem is often
a topic for these discussions. Many
bills are passed by the mock Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
some serious and others of a
lighter nature. Last year the group
passed a bill stating that only
good-looking policemen between
the ages of 18 and 25 would be
employed on the WC campus to
help the girls across the streets.
They also passed legislation to
determine their idea of the legal
voting age.
For recreation in their few spare
moments, the girls put on a talent
show, sing, and have skits. At
the end of the convention each
girl receives a certificate at the
final ceremony.

3 Council Members
Serve Prison Terms
BY JOAN IMtoNAIRY
“Help! Help!” There aren’t;
any door knobs!” Student Coun
cil members Carolyn Rich, Ed
Goode, and Dick Tontz sud
denly discovered themselves
condemned to a prison stretch
in Mrs. Mary Lea Hamilton’s
little litter room, (a cubby
hole adjoining her classroom).
After voluminous laughter
from their fellow council mem
bers, the three prisoners moved
a table in front of the door to
make easier conversation
with outsiders. Ed Goode climb
ed through the transom but
Carolyn decided that her dress
presented too much of a prob
lem for such an awkward as
cent. In order to entertain her
during her dilema, Dick stayed
trapped with her.
Several messengers coming
into the room showed no sur
prise in seeing four arms and
two heads over the transom.
Anything is believable with
those two. Finally the janitor
came to free the prisoners and
Mrs. Hamilton got some new
door knobs.
