Students Work
Hard For Trip
To United Nations

at work, reading to gain a back
ground for writing essays in the
annual contest Lo earn a trip
to the United Nations.
Although the annual tour to
the U. N., sponsored by the
American Freedom Association,
was publicized early in the year,
the students became earnest
about the matter only as they
became conscious of the dead
line for turning in the finished
essay on March .u.
The title of ' ^asay is the
United Nations and the Main
tenance of World Peace. The
students participating are Mary
Webb, Charles Lyons, Larry
Foushee, Fredia Laney, Willie
