Letter To i
The Editor '
Dear Sir:
This letter is in regards to a
recent letter starting an opinion
of the situation of our band
director as well as of our school.
Many points about discipline
seemed valid, however one
factor concerning activities and
honors was highly misleading.
As a student of John A. Holmes
High School, I feel that the
wrong impression has been
given about just how some of
our activities are carried out.
Reference was made of an
“in” group and an “out” group.
The letter stated that
membership in the “in” group
comes from family position,
money, athletic ability and
athletic excellence and that
because of this so called status,
all positions, privileges, and
awards are bestowed upon
them.
. Extra curricular activites are
carried out by students
interested in the various
organizations and their
purposes.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
ASSOCIATION -- Just recently
we held our elections for
officers of this association for
the 1973-74 school term. To
qualify for nomination to any of
f these offices one must maintain
.5 A reasonable grade average.
This factor has been questioned
concerning whether the grade
average has anything to do with
leadership potential. The
feeling of the association who
made the election rules was that
anyone who cares enough and
really desires the responsibility
of an S.G.A. office will be one
who can pull his own school
work load. If he is unable to do
this, his time needs to be
devoted to his own studies.
As in our democracy, the
majority rules. If the so called
“in” group is small, how may
they possibly monopolize
offices, privileges, and awards?
Even though some privileges
and awards are not decided
upon by student vote, our
teachers should know by the
character we reveal how these
matters may best be handled.
EDENTONIAN STAFF - To
be a member of this staff all one
.leeds to do first is fill out an
application. Selection is based
entirely on the desire of the
student to do the job. Here
again, grades are considered
for various positions. A
proofreader needs to be a good
English student, a typist, a good
- typing student, etc.
- Who one's parents are, their
“ incoMd, Os Whether thaT student'
is the school Twiddly-Winks
champ has nothing whatsoever
to do with selection.
NATIONAL HONOR
SOCIETY -- Students must
maintain an 89.5 academic
average. This is an organization
whose ideals of scholarship,
leadership, character, and
service are reviewed concerning
potential candidates by a group
of appointed faculty members.
ATHLETICS - Students who
t exhibit athletic excellence
deserve praise. A tremendous
amount of diligence and
sacrifice are required to meet
these standards. If a student
has the ability and desire to be
an athlete, he is certainly not
restrained. A really good player
will get his chance.
There are organizations
oriented toward students in
occupational and vocational
programs as well as clubs
geared toward professional
careers -- VJCA, DECA, FT A,
and Health Careers, just to
name a few. Students have an
open opportunity to participate
in a number of activities if they
will only take advantage of
them. Those who are interested
do so.
The writer of the previous
article gives one the impression
that the band is an organization
for down-trodden students who
use it as a last resort to BE
SOMEBODY. Members of the
band hold some of the highest
offices in the school and
participate in many activities. I
should think they must be
insulted at the insinuation that
they are an “out” group.
At present most all of our
school organizations are
suffering from a lapse in school
spirit. If a student is truly
interested in his school and has
a desire to be the best he can be,
he -will always be considered
“in”.
