This work started last summer when a planning committee com- posed of representatives from the schools which would make up George Wythe initiated the school’s govern- ment. The first objective was selecting school colors—red, white, and blue, and the athletic nickname—Bulldogs. Activities attended by the Executive Committee have been the District S.C.A. Convention, the Foreign Forum, Group I District Convention, State S.C.A. Con- vention, and Leadership Workshop held at George Wythe.

Ledger Staff Completes 7 Issues The business and literary staffs worked together to produce THE WYTHE LEDGER on the third Friday of each month, except during exams. A party given in January honored the officers for the first semester and introduced the officers for the second semester. Ten representatives went to the newspaper clinic held at the University of Richmond. Two staff members and Mrs. Gibson also attended the Southern Interscho- lastic Press Association Convention held at Washing- ton and Lee University in Lexington. Although the primary purpose of the paper is to inform the students, the staff members gain valuable skills which will be useful in later life.
