AXTON HIGH S. C. A. President .... Vice-President . Secretary and Treasurer Sponsor .... . Lee Agee . Jamie Wagner . Helen Gregory Miss Clara Norvell Slogan: “The School and Community Growing Together” Emblem: Flaming Torch Flower: Dogwood Colors: Green and White The Student Cooperative Association acts as a clearing house type of organization for all activities of Axton High School. It has five aims: citizenship, cooperation, health, recreation, and self-improvement. These aims are to be reached by the sub- organizations of the school working together. The main organization has at least eight meetings throughout the year, during which, besides the business for promotion of the various activities, there are literary programs, including debate, oratory, drama, read- ings, and song through which the aims of the Virginia Literary League may function. The S. C. A. operates through the various organizations included in this annual. In the fall, objectives are set up by each organization. In the spring, the secretary collects the reports of accomplishments and makes a combined report to Miss Freida Koontz, the state secretary of the Virginia Student Cooperative Association at Richmond, Virginia. Miss Koontz has awarded Axton High School the S. C. A. banner for high standard work twelve successive years. This year the president of our local organiza- tion was also vice-president of the Danville District S. C. A. which met at Chatham April 27. Fourteen delegates attended the district meeting, and Mary Elliott was chair- man and Gladys Talbert, secretary of a forum discussion.
