Youth Services
Offers Counseling
To Young People
Youth Services Bureau of
Greensboro, Inc. is a group of
people dedicated to helping young
people in the area with their in
dividual problems. Any young
person who has a problem can
get help and advice from the
Bureau. Bureau counselors can
be reached twenty-four hours a
day by calling 273-6955 or by
going to the Bureau office at
1211 West Market Street any
time between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. Monday through Friday.
“People” are at the center of
the Youth Services Bureau’s phi
losophy. The staff do not look
at the people they work with as
“clients” or “cases” but as
unqiue individuals, each with his
own set of talents, concerns,
hopes, and ambitions.
The Bureau is sometimes call
ed a “juvenile deliquency pre
vention program,” but this is a
misnomer. Although most of the
I>eople the Bureau’s staff works
with are referred to them by the
police or by school counselors,
the Bureau does not work ex
clusively through these channels.
Anyone can go directly to the
Bureau.
Youth Services Bureau has
three basic objectives. The first
is to help the young people who
come to or are referred to them
to examine the problems they
have, to realize what alternatives
they have in working with the
problem, and then to choose the
alternatives that best satisfy him.
This counseling might encourage
changes made by the person him
self by his parents, school teach
ers and administrators, employ
ers, or other pe^iple involved.

Quill And Scroll Society

Congratulations to Tucker Mit
chell, Sports Editor for HIGH
LIFE, who won a most disting
uished honor in March—the Quill
and Scroll National Award in
Sports Writing, which was based
upon his colunrn “Benchwarmer.”
With this honor also comes an
opportunity for Tucker to win a
$500 scholarship.
But just what is Quill and
Scroll? It is the national honor
ary high school journalistic so
ciety. At the end of February of
1974 our school was awarded a
charter for a chapter (there are
over 10,000 such high school
chapters scattered throughout the
United States).
With the securing of a charter
came much serious discussion
concerning selection of members
and purposes of this organization.
Therefore, most of this spring
semester will be spent in actual
formulation of policies sd that
promptly near the beginning of
the fall semester of the 1974-’75
sdiool year there will be an init
iation of approved candidates.
To guide the society hi the
selection of prospective candi
dates are five standard national
prerequisites. They are as fol
lows:
1. Students must be of junior
or senior classification to be ac
tive members of a local chapter.
Second semester sophomores may
be initiated during the last grad
ing period of their sophomore-
year, their membership becom
ing effective at the beginning of
their year.
2. Students must be in the up-
