Council Concept Begins For Scurlock Students Fifth grade pupils at Scurlock elementary school are getting some practical experience with the democratic process of government beyond their class work this year with the creation of a student council, the first such at the elementary level here. The newly chosen council is composed of four representatives from each homeroom and one alternate. In an election Friday, the students picked the council leiders: President Michelle Crotty, Vice-president Patricia Kellermann, Secretary Mavis Lide, and Treasurer Samantha Bladwin. The rest of the council members are Patricia Schiebe, Pam Currie, Ronnie McRae, Velyn Graham, Lonnie McRae, Elisa Blackshear, Alice Baldwin, Tony Barefoot, and Carl Bundy. Ronnie Branch, assistant principal, is enthusiastic about the concept and feels it would provide a good foundation for developing leadership skills, as well as exposing the youngsters to the responsibilities of citizenship. "We at Scurlock feel that the best way to teach leadership and build good citizens is to get the children involved. If you wait until high school, their opinions of rules and governing student body are many times distorted by older ftudents with a bad attitude," Branch said. Enthusiasm from tire students has been good, with plenty of politicking" before the election, complete with campaign flyers and speeches from the "candidates". "The decisions that the council will be faced with won't change the school calendar, or the curriculum of events, but will give them some practice in decision making through voting", he added. First order of business for the council will be working on a school honor code and choosing a school mascot and colors. The ideas will come in the form of recommendations from the council and these will be voted on by the students. "It was emphasized to the children who were elected to the council that they must obey all rules of safety and conduct at school. We hope that this in itself will teach them that our representatives are to be sound moral leaders as well". Branch said.

FIRST, FILL IN THE STUB OR CHECK REGISTER. This should show the number of the check, the date, the person or firm you're paying, and the amount (which should be subtracted from the previous balance.) 2. FILL IN THE CHECK NUMBER. Some checks are prenumbered at the time they are printed. If yours are not, number your checks consecutively as an aid to your record-keeping. 3. DATE THE CHECK. Use the actual date on which you are writing the check, even if it is a Sunday. No not use a later date on a check, since the bank cannot pay it if it is presented before that date. 4. WRITE THE "PAYEE'S" NAME. This is the person, business, or other organization you are paying. Write this information on the line beginning "PAY TO THE ORDER OF." If you are writing a check to obtain cash for yourself, you may fill in your own name as payee or the word "CASH." S. FILL IN THE AMOUNT IN FIGURES. Begin close to the dollar sign, and write as clearly as possible. 6. FILL IN THE AMOUNT IN WORDS. This amount must, of course, agree with the figures. Begin at the far left end of the line and spell out the dollar amount; write the cents as a fraction over 100. Use a wavy line to fill out any unused portion of the space. 7. SIGN THE CHECK. Use exactly the same signature every time - the one you wrote on the bank's signature card when you opened your account. TheBankofRaeford Mambar FDIC MAIN STREET WPHW SUNSET HILLS "mam ^...
