HIGH LIFE Staff
Selected For Next Year
This does not mean that other
people will not have a chance to
serve on or with council. A change
in the by-laws of GYC takes the
chairman and executive vice-
chairman out of their districts.
They can then be replaced by
people of the same class and sex
who trailed in the voting. Also
six Youth Council of North Caro
lina members will be elected
from GYC. They become ex-offi-
cers and are replaced in the
same manner as the chairman and
executive vice-chairman. The re
placements are made by a district
caucus which selects a new coun
cilman when a vacancy appears.
The first meeting of the year
was held May 7. The purpose of
this meeting was to nominate peo
ple for the executive offices and
YCNC. Thb executive offices in
clude Chairman, Executive Vice-
Chairman, Problems vice-chair
man, Projects vice-chairman and
Communications vice - chairman,
the district coordinators, the sec
retary and the clerk.
On May 11 elections were held
for these offices. The new officers
will not take over until May 21
at the GYC Banquet.
The committees will be select
ed in a different manner this
year. All committees are divisible
by four. Equal representation
from all the high schools can
then be obtained. The councilmen
will be given an explaination of
the committees and then a chance
to put their name up for one.
The district coordinators will then
select the committee members.
The committee will then caucus
and select its chairman. The
council will then go into its pe
riod of summer recess.

Seniors Vote To Replace
Class Day With Awards Day
Seniors voted Wednesday, April
29th to replace the Class Day
assembly with Awards Day as-
sembiy on May 29th. Seniors will
file into assembly in their caps
and gowns. They will have the
afternoon off to attend a swim-
ming’party at Lindley pool.
Class Day was called off be
cause of the very poor condition
of the electrical equipment back-
stage. In addition, space back-
stage is limited because of the
addition of two new dressing
rooms. With the large number of
people associated with Class Day
crowding into the small backstage
area, someone could possibly brush
against a piece of wiring and
cause a short in the electrical
system which, in turn, could cause
a fire. Starr Electric Company is
in the process of repairing the
equipment, but it is impossibie for
them to be finished by May 29th.
Concerts and plays can be given
now because they do not involve
as many people backstage as Class
Day does.
Graduation wiil be held in the
stadium, weather permitting, June
4th at 8:00. In case of rain, it
will be held that same day in the
boys’ gym.
After the seniors march in, an
invocation will be given. Next,
the valedictorian will be an
nounced and several awards pre
sented. Then will come the ad
dress.
Diplomas will be given out by
Mr. Glen after the address. A
benediction will close the gradu
ation exercise. Also included in
the program are performances by
both choir and orchestra.
