Sludeni Council Is
Being Organized in
Local High School
To Elect President Student
Body Friday; Principal
Explains Plan
-o
There has been increasing interest |
and requests among the pupils of the.
p vmouth High School for student'
government, and at a recent assembly I
period a discussion was held on the;
matter. Many pupils expressed their I
v:ews and made inquiries, following
which the student body voted unani
mously in favor of the proposal.
Last Friday nominations were made
for president of the student body, and
an election will be held by Austral
ian ballot tomorrow m the school.
I! ;as stated the president must come
from the senior class and must have
pa-sed all work tor the preceding
- mester. as well as maintaining an
average above 80 on conduct. The
following seniors were nominated:
Brinson Cox. Luther Armstrong.
James Rea. Felton Magee. Frank
VVinesett and Jack Stubbs.
The council will be composed of
10 members elected from the high
school classes as follows: 1 from the
freshman class: 2 from the sopho
more class: 3 from the junior and 4
irom tne senior classes, rue cuuucu
will function in an advisory capacity
under the guidance of the principal
and a faculty advisor.
According to Principal Trotman.
“student government in high school
should mean student participation in
school administration rather than ac
tual student government and pupils
may participate insofar as they are
capable and worthy. There is no
such thing as student self-govern
ment. and there never will be: stu
dents lack that good judgment which
comes from experience. School con
trol may not be shifted from the
heads of competent teachers and ad
in definite advantages to the pupil.
They will be given to understand that
they act in an advisory capacity only
and may recommend while the ad
ministrators have the veto power.
There are certain purposes and aims
to be strived for in pupil participa
tion in school administration, which
may be summed up as follows: Train
ing in social customs, training in
speech, training in civic interests, in
ethical character, in leadership and
fellowship and to promote the gen
eral activities of the schol. The
proper handling of a student govern
ment program will necessarily result
in definite advantage sto the pupil.
He will become more cooperative,
more self-directive and will develop
in initiative; he will become more
familiar with democratic principles
and will learn by actual participa
tion which carries with it responsi
bility and obligation.
“Contrary to the current concep
tion of student government the stu
dent council in no way formulates or
controls the adnrjiistration of the
school. The scope of activities which
the students may participate in will

Ceiebrate Third Anniver
sary of Pastor: Inter
esting History
-o
A series of meetings will be held
in the Spring Green Church of Christ
■ colored' next week, beginning Mon
day night, during which time Ihe
members will observe the third an
niversary of the third pastor to -erve
this 50-vear-old church
Older residents here say this charge
was founded about 70 years ago and
that the frame structure at the rear
of the present imposing brick build
ing is at least 50 years old.
During the last half century there
have been only three pastors, includ
ing Rev. Isham Darden, who served
the charge for 26 years. Rev. John
Spencer, who was pastor for 24 years;
and now Elder Noah Boston has been
pastor for about three years.
When Elder Boston accepted the
pastorate the old wooden structure
was used for services but since he be
came the leader the church has been
able to complete the brick building,
which was started in 1928.
George Smith, deacon, who con
tributed hundreds of dollars in work
as mason on the structure, said that
after the walls of the building had
been erected, the congregation found
they were unable to complete it.
Much of the material that had been
purchased at the outset was ruined
by the weather during the years that
lapsed.
The roof and ceiling has been com
pleted within the last three years.
Most of the iabor was done by mem
bers. with the ladies of the church
providing the food for workmen. The
material for the church cost about
$7,500 and the donated labor easily
would made the church value about
$10,000.
Eighty-one members joined during
a recent protracted meeting increas
ing the membership to 465 with an
average atendance at church services
on the fourth Sunday of each month
placed at 300.
The meeting that will be held next
week will include speakers and choirs
from other services that will join in
making the services a success.
Deacons of the church who have
contributed much to the success of
the church include Ellis Lee. Edward
Pollock. Edward Pettifcrd. Ben Hedg
be as follows: care of school and per
sonal property: service to fellow stu
dents: community and school activi
ties; discipline with regard to gen
eral school regulations such as the
encouragement of good behavior, fos
tering proper spirit and attitudes, dls
courage dishonesty and to recom
mend measures to the faculty.
'This is an excellent and worth
while actvitiy and we solicit the aid
and encouragement of the public. It
is a matter with which we must work
patiently and cautiously."
