That Douglass has 55 clubs and organi- zations to further de- velop the education of its students. ) Hard Work Opens Doors Hard Work is the key to suc- cess and President, Aaron Tur- peau along with Vice-president, Micheal Doctor unlocked some doors. They set out to lead the Student Government Association in a banner year. Turpeau worked dilligently to draw more students to after school meet- ings. The increased support from the students was to launch such projects as the Coronation Ball, Thanksgiving Basket Competi- tion and assembly, Spirit Express Bus to out of town games, and aid in the UNICEF Drive. The Association ' s efforts also focused on the engraving of a famous Frederick Douglass quote on the school ' s front. It also completed some programs started by the S.G.A. of the year 1981-1982, such as the Gym Restoration Program. It made possible the words, Home of the Astos on the boy ' s gymnasi- um. It can never be said that . . . They assign us that place; they don ' t let us do it ourselves nor will they allow us a voice in the decision. They will not allow that we have a head to think, and a heart to feel, and a soul to ap- spire. — Frederick Douglass In a little advancing of his own, Aaron was selected as the stu- dent ' s of Atlanta Public Schools representative in the Mayor ' s Task Force for education. It pre- sented a Dream Jamboree in May, where colleges, businesses, etc. advise students on future job opportunities. Student Life Student Government Association — 189
