“Communication channels” was
the topic of the March 1, Greens
boro Student Council meeting
hosted by GHS. Mayor Sam Mel
vin spoke about the need for
students, teachers, and adminis
trators to better understand each
other via better “communication
channels.”
The business discussion cen
tered in the ideas of Student Ex
change and Student Leadership
Day, both of which were pro
posed by the Student Affairs
Council of GHS. All four city
high schools, represented by 3
students and its assistant prin
cipal, seemed to favor these ideas
as conducive actions to better
relations among the four senior
high schools.
According to the GHS proposal,
the “Student Leadership Day
gives an opportunity for our stu
dents to take an active part in
the educational process at school.
By having students lead the class.
they will better understand and
appreciate the difficulties of
teaching, and this will serve to
establish better relationships be
tween teachers and students, as
well as providing an excellent
opportunity for - student leader
ship training.”
The Leadership Day will call
for students to take the place of
the teachers and administrators.
All student appointments 'will be
made by teachers, individual
classes, and administrators. School
policies will continue to be in
effect for students during the
entire day.
“Equal representation” will be
the key to the Student Exchange
program which will allow 4 soph
omores, 4 juniors, and 4 seniors
' (from each class there will be
2 blacks, 2 whites, one boy, and
one girl of each race) to visit
other schools and attend the same
classes in which the exchange
students from that school would
normally attend.
