Douglas Southall Freeman High School - Historian Yearbook (Richmond, VA)

In searching for his iden- tity, a student joins the organ- izations open to him at Doug- las Freeman. He uses his abil- ities, developing them to their maximum. Others, rec- ognizing this, honor him by election to a position of lead- ership, by inducting him into an honor society, or by choosing him to represent their club before the rest of the school. Working with others to effect a group's ideals, the Freemanite is a good leader —or a good follower. He voices a suggestion and sees it in practice. Its success de- pends on his part in its execu- tion: any fault in a project, from the planning stages to the actual event, may weaken or destroy. Successes distinguish the well-organized group from the disorderly one. In striving to improve Douglas Freeman's clubs, the Rebel finds himself. 23

Speeches by civic leaders initiate Honor Week To emphasize honor and dis- courage cheating, the SCA sponsored an Honor Week dur- ing which leaders in the com- munity spoke. For exams each pupil received an honor card. J. Sargeant Reynolds and Mrs. Giles Engledove highlighted the Leadership Training Confer- ence. Participants heard and dis- cussed speeches on the essentials of good student leadership. To benefit the AFS pro- gram, the SCA sponsored a Free- man Week dance, climaxing the week set aside to honor Dr. Douglas S. Freeman. Changes improved the con- stitution and student handbook, while committees also revised the limiting and merit systems. USING cans of bright tempera paint and large brushes, the SCA Pep Committee creates lively victory signs. SCA COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN.
