The new President of the GHS student body, Jimmy Palmer, feels “it is necessary for the President to represent the students and to work for what they want.” Com mittee appointments will be made by application and will consist of all students. Jimmy intends to work with the Forum on projects and will have their elected officer on Student Council. Also stressed will be the presence of the four major High Schools Prsidents on the existing GYC President’s Council. Communications with stu dents will he improved by: read ing all letters and personally lan- swering those addressed to the President; having a Suggestion Box in each homeroom; having reporters to relate Council busi ness to High Life and Greens boro City Papers; and by seek ing views of the students. Jimmy’s main goal for the student body next year is “Leadership through Involvement”. Don DeBragga was chosen as the Vice-President of the student body. He wants to help “Youth— the leaders of tomorrow.” To do this the Student Council must de velop “aggressive leadership, set high standards, serve the com munity with straight talk dia logue.” Don also favors a wider variety of assemblies for next year. A rising junior, Connie Voight, the new Secretary of the school wants to work with all other offi cers in bettering the school. Council meeting minutes, if pos sible, will be put in HIGH LIFE. These minutes will include what the council decides as weU as what they discuss concerning the problems in the suggestion box. Connie feels “that Secretary is one of the most important jobs and not just a job to be thought of as a separate office”. The new Treasurer, Lisa Folk, intends to do any necessary book- work and any other job that she is called upon to do with enthus iasm. As the new Traffic Chief, Ferd Stout will cut the number of the Summer Youth Volunteer Program Each summer since 1964, the Volunteer Bureau has offered a “Youth Volunteer Program.” In this time over 600 students, 14 years and older, have had the op portunity to volunteer their serv ices in the community. The type of work available will range from helping on play grounds to working with handi capped children. Other kinds of jobs offered in this program in clude work in areas such as of fices, museums, libraries, camps, and schools for the mentally re tarded.
