GHS Students Aliend
Library Convention
Sixteenth Annual Convention of
the North Carolina High School
Library Association was held re
cently in Winston Salem.
The library staff of Grimsley
Senior High School was well rep
resented at this state conference.
From the 35 members of the staff,
the eight students who attended
were Stewart Brittenham, Sara
Flintom, Brenda Younts, Maurice
Gulledge, Sara Ann Lynch, and
Adella McKeown. The official
delegates from GHS were Sankey
Price and Margaret Keesee. Miss
Mildred Herring and Miss Weir ac
companied the group. Miss Her
ring, GHS librarian, had a part
on the program in Winston Salem.
The Robert E. Lee Hotel pro
vided the rooms and places of
meeting for the group. The first
afternoon the business session
convened in the Grand Ballroom.
During this time campaign speech
es were given by those running
for offices in the state association.
Adella McKeown, from GHS, ran
for the office of vice president,
and Sankey Price was her cam
paign manager. In this meeting,
however, only the candidates were
allotted a speaking period of two
minutes. Campaign managers cam
paigned outside the meeting only.
After this session the students
took guided tours to various places
in Winston Salem. ’They could
visit Old Salem or Wake Forest
College campus and ride through
Reynolda Gardens and Whitaker
Park Cigarette Factory. At the
hotel there was time to see an
exhibit of library books and ma
terial.
In the Grand Ballroom that
night, a banquet and a combo were
held. At intermission the candi
dates for the state officers were
presented. In the session the next
morning, the 1963-64 state officers

Council Adviser Moody
Explains Convention Rules
Because of the widespread con
fusion over the use of the prefer
ential ballot system, HIGH LIFE
consulted Student Council Adviser
Mrs. Mary A. Moody in an effort
to explain what was, or should
have been, done.
The system is based on the nom
inating procedures used by the
two major national political par
ties.
OFFICES
The offices contested in the con
vention are the student body presi
dent, vice president, secretary,
treasurer, Y^outh Recreation Chair
man, pep board chairman, and
traffic chief. The purpose of the
convention was to narrow the field
of contestants for these offices to
two. Therefore, if there were less
than three candidates for any one
offices, the names of those candi
dates were automatically placed on
the ballot.
This is how it worked. Each
home room elected two official
delegates to represent it at the
convention. One of these was the
speaking delegate; the other, the
consulting delegate. Each room
had two votes.
A few days later, the home room
teacher received an official list
of the candidates involved in the
convention. The names were placed
on the board and each student
wrote down on a secret ballot (a
piece of paper supplied by the
student) the names of each candi
date and indicated his first, sec
ond, third, and fourth choices, de
pending on the number of candi-
Views Of Candidates
For TraHic Position
Editor’s note; Each year at elec
tion time HIGH LIFE interviews
each presidential candidate so that
it can give the students an idea
of each nominee’s platform. This
year, however, there is only one
candidate for the offices of presi
dent and vice president. HIGH
LIFE then interviewed each of the
final candidates for the position
of traffic chief to see how they
would perhaps improve the squad
over this year’s.
When questioned, Jerry Jerni-
gan said that if he was elected,
the traffic squad would be “very
organized” and would indeed be
“worthwhile.” “It will definitely
not he a ‘social squad,’ as some
people have termed it, but I will
prove that it is a necessary part
of GHS.” Jerry said that he will
chose capable boys to be on his
squad and that they “will really
be on the ball.”
Jerry sings in the choir and is
a member of the “Queen’s Men.”
He is also active in the Junior
Jaycees.
Dave Fieg said, “I don’t want
to take a lot of your time, so I’ll
come straight to the point. If I
am honored by being your traffic
chief next year, I will guarantee
many needed changes. To men
tion a few, the squad will be cut
to 25-30 boys who will be approved
by the squad advisor. This means
there will be no social club boys.
If a boy is found off his post
twice, he will be automatically
dropped from the squad. Also, in
gccordance with the “School Beau
tiful” campaign, traffic before and
after school and during lunch will
be kept off the grass.”
Dave is a member of the Junior
Jaycees and is on Student Council.
dates running. The ballots were
then collected and tabulated. Since
the first choice of candidate got
one vote and the third, three, the
candidate with the lowest total
points carried the home room.
Splitting Votes
With regard to splitting the
votes, Mrs. Moody said that the
votes should not have been split
unless the two front-running cand
idates were within three or four
votes of each other. (Vote-split-
ting is giving one of the two votes
to each of the two top candidates.)
The home room president an
nounced the result of the tabula
tion and formally instructed the
delegates either to cast two votes
for John Doe or to cast one vote
for John Doe and one for Jim
Jones. The instructions to the
delegates were written down and
placed in a sealed envelope to be
given to the election committee.
The envelopes could be opened on
request at the convention to make
certain the delegates were voting
according to instructions. They
have been known in the past to
ignore the instructions and vote
as they pleased.
Nominations
At the convention any member
of a room carried by John Doe,
could have, when his room was
called on for any nominations,
put in nomination the name of
John Doe, or, as usually happens,
could have yielded to the home
room of John’s campaign manager,
and the latter made the nomina
tion.
After all the nominations for
one office were made, the conven
tion got down to the business of
deciding which two names would
go on the final ballot. The candi
date getting 66 votes first had
his name placed first on the bal
lot.

Candidates Selected
In School Convention
Candidates for the final elec
tions of school offices were deter,
mined at the convention held last
Tuesday in the auditorium.
Dave Fieg and Jerry Jernigan
will run for the position of traffic
chief; Pat Roos and Ann McIntosh,
pep board chairman; and Janet
Turner and Wayne Farlow, treas
urer. These names will appear on
the ballot in this order.
Jiil Miller, chairman of elec
tions, was in charge of the con
vention. After the rules were
given, the roll was callde for all
home rooms to make their pres
ence known.
Nominations were made for the
position of traffic chief. After all
nominations, the roll was repeat
ed for voting. The candidate who
first received 67 votes will be
placed first on the ballot in the
final election. This nominee was
then dropped from the list, and
voting was repeated to determine
the second name on the final bal
lot.
Assembly was adjourned when
the bell rang for third period. The
convention later reconvened at
1:30. This last half was attended
by home room delegates. During
the next hour the final candidates
for pep board chairman and treas
urer were selected in the same
manner as those for the office of
traffic chief.
The final voting will be held'
next Tuesday, May 7.
