Extra Amendment on List
Wiggle Past Juniors, 19-6
CHHSers will vote this week
on five proposed amendments to
the student council constitution,
and those which are passed will
go into effect immediately.
In addition to the four changes
which were reported in the last
edition of the Proconian, a fifth
was passed by the SAC on Nov
ember 17 and added to the list
upon which the student body
will vote.

for a change in the way stu
dents are warned and punished
for minor offenses. In the past,
students committing minor of
fense have been sent a warning
for the first offense and a sum
mons for the second offense.
Under the new amendment,
students committing minor of
fenses will be given immediate
and oral punishment by a mem
ber of the Honor Council. If a
student refuses to accept his
punishment, however, the Honor
Council may send him a warn
ing.
For a second refusal to accept
punishment, offenders will be
sent a summons, and a trial will
be held at a later date. No record
of either summons or trial for
a minor offense will be filed in
the student’s permanent record.
If an offender is reported by
a student not on the Honor
Council, he will be sent first a
warning and then a summons.
In the case of a major offense,
however, a letter would be sent
to the student’s parents inform
ing them of the offense, the time
of the trial, and later the results
of the trial. A trial for a major
offense will be filed in the stu
dent’s premanent record.-BJ

Math Teacher Becomes UNC Student
Johnson Urges Maturity
“You have the opportunity to
mold your lives in four areas —
gratitude, grace, reliability, and
discipline,” stated Charles John
son to about 150 UCYMers gath
ered for the third annual Thanks
giving banquet November 19.
CHHSers from every youth
group in town attended the
United Christian Youth Move
ment project, at which Mr. John
son, chaplain to tht Presbyterian
students at Duke University,
spoke.
Mr. Johnson compared thanks
giving to the closing of a circle.
“If you do not respond, you
leave the circle broken. And if
the circle is broken, you are
broken,” he said.
“The mind is a perfect rationa
lizing machine,” declared Mr.
Johnson. “Give it enough time
and it will figure out that you
are right.”
Following Mr. Johnson’s
speech, presidents of the various
local youth groups reported on
some of their organizations’ re
cent activities.
The banquet was prepared by
the Presbyterian Senior High
Fellowship, under the direction
of SHF president Betty K. Hook
er and UCYM representatives
Susan MacIntyre and Terrell
Seawell. -HH/MLB
Sitting in a large easy chair
under a mounted sailfish in her
living room, Mrs. Emma Som-
merfeld, CHHS math teacher on
leave of absence to study at UNC
under a National Science Found
ation grant, spoke easily, oc
casionally patting her fashion
able new hairdo.
“My main purpose at UNC is
to get some background. I’m tak
ing four math courses, and I
hope to have at least one Math
IV class at the high school next
year.
“There are 45 pepole in the
National Science Foundation
group. Fifteen are math majors,
and the majority of them have
been teaching awhile.

ing,” laughs Mrs. Nancy Coffey,--
who hails from Morganton
Mrs. Susan Ruben from Dur

the majority of the senior class
and a few juniors will meet in
Carroll Hall to take the Scholas
tic Aptitude Test.
Students are asked to be
prompt for the three-hour test
and to bring their admission

“The only way I can compare
college to high school is that it’s
like making up ‘snow days’ be
cause I go to classes from 8
A.M. to 12 noon on Saturdays.
I’ve had to re-arrange my life
and change everything complete-
ly-
“I enjoy school very much;
it’s very stimulating. 1 watch the
students’ reactions as well as the
teachers’ presentations. Students
are really interested in high
school; this doesn’t seem to be
true in college.
“In high school when you want
to find out who is with you, just
add two and two and get five.
Here the students don’t follow
or just don’t ask questions.
“Every day I run into old
students. Some days I see as
many as ten or twelve. They’ve
all gotten used to the idea of my
being here by now.”-TB
CHHS’s senior girls, led by
co-captains Ellen Mullis and
Theresa Hines, wiggled past
their junior counterparts to a
19-6 victory in the powderpuff
football game last Wednesday.
The game, first of its kind in
the high school’s history, was
sponsored by the junior class as
part of their fund-raising efforts.
Approximately $125 in profits
will go toward the Junior-Senior
Prom in the spring.
On the first play after the
juniors’ opening kickoff, Mullis
crashed 36 yards for a senior
TD. The juniors, however, kept
close on their opponents’ heels
with a first quarter touchdown
of their own.
Judy Logan capped the scor
ing drive with a three-yard run
to pay dirt.
With the score 6-6 going into
the second quarter, the senior
gals promptly scored again, push
ing the total to 12-6 at the end
of the half.
In the tihrd quarter, the seni
ors again crashed into the scor
ing column when Judy Andrews
ran a three-yard sweep into the
end zone. Brenda Bethel’s run
for the extra point brought the
score to 19-6 and ended the
girls’ scoring for the day.
Junior standouts were Gale
Green, Beverly Leng, Sally Ivy,
and Logan. Mullis, Andrews, and
Bethel led the seniors.
Kings Crowned
Half-time activities included
the crowning of Senior King Son
ny Mclver, Junior King David
Little, and Football King Gene
Williams. A six-piec band also
appeared to play several num
bers.
Head cheerleader for the vic
tors was Tom Broadfoot and
David Little led the juniors in
their yells. -HH
Straley Urges Attendance
At December PTSA Meet
“PSTA has an s in it, and
that s stands for students,” re
marked Dr. Joseph Straley,
president of the local organiza
tion, as he urged all CHHSers
to attend the December 7 meet
ing.
“The program is going to be
mainly directed at the students,
although parents and teachers
will also be invited,” joked Dr.
Straley.
The Parent, Teacher, Student
Association is planning a panel
discussion on “Making a Success
of the First Year in college.”
Principal speaker for the pro
gram, which will be held in the
CHHS auditorium at 8:00, will
be Kingston Johns, guidance
counselor at State College in
Raleigh.
The panel will also include
Charles Bernard, director of ad
missions at UNC; Dr. George
Taylor, professor of history at
UNC; and Dave Henry, 1960
graduate of CHHS and former
student body president.
“We are not concerned just
with the scholarly side of college
life,” said Dr. Straley. “For most
students college is a big change;
they have to get used to a differ
ent environment and a different
way of teaching.
“For many students, too,
there is a lot of confusion. They
want to make a success of their
studies, but there are a great
number of outside pulls — ath
letics, fraternities, parties, and a
lot of noise in the halls when
they may want to study,” point
ed out Dr. Straley.
Some students can trace their
college failures to causes other
than scholastic, he said; those
causes will also be aired during
the program. —- HH
Students Receive
Passes to Game
Two CHHS students saw the
Carolina-LSU game November 11
because of the thoughtful gen
erosity of a 1923 graduate
of UNC who now lives in
Winchester, Va.
Principal May Marshbanks re
ceived his letter Monday, Nov
ember 6. He wrote, “As I will be
unable to attend the UNC-LSU
game, will you kindly give these
tickets to two deserving students
that would like to see the game.
“My whole idea is to make
two of your students happy that
they can see the game. This will
please me very much.”
