Of the People Setting as its first aim to arouse school spirit, the student government, headed by president Charles lVlcConkey and vice-president Betty jo Hedrick, started the new school year with vigor and determination. The lower house, composed of representa- tives, from each home room raised its status iinancially by selling school pennants and foot- ball badges and sponsoring a talent show as well as out of town programs. The funds raised helped send delegates Charles Simmons, jackie Meelcins, and Charles lVlcConlcey to the liliza- beth City State Student Council Congress held in the early fall and joe Aaron and Charles McConkcy with the upper house sponsor Miss Louise Hunter to the National Student Congress Convention in Corpus Christi, Texas. The lower house published for the first time in its history monthly bulletins that acquainted students with issues presented at the regular Monday morning meetings. The annual social standards conference held in the spring which wound up student government activities for the year was a memorable success.
