Student Cooperative Association The Student Cooperative association under the lead- ership of President Fenner Corbett is completing: one of the most successful years in its history. Student interests centered around three presidential elections held during the school year by a unique coincidence. The council program began with spirited elections in the fall in which Fenner Corbett was the successful cand- idate for president. Other officers elected at this time were Betsy Hobgood, vice-president; Rachel Fleming, secretary and Bill Turner, treasurer. The second big event of the year w ' as the North Carolina State Student Council Congress held here No- vember 1, 1940. The convention was attended by almost three hundred students from thirty high schools. Panel discussions on student government problems highlighted the program. Of greatest interest to Greenville high stu- dents was the campaign and election of Jack Edwards, a local junior, to the office of president of the state con- Miss Evelyn Buchanan Faculty Adviser gress. The local students aided in the campaign by talking with the various delegates who were housed in homes throughout the city. A camera was purchased for the use of school or- ganizations after several weeks discussion. The council formed a photography club to supervise and train students in the operation of the new camera. Twice during the school year the council waged cam- paigns to solicit donations for relief funds. The “Bundles for Britain” drive was conducted just before Christmas netting $21.58. It had as its theme the sacrificing of money ordinarilly spent for fireworks to aid British children escape explosives falling from the skies. The Fenner Corbett President second drive, a campaign for aid to crippled children, was staged before Easter. The council spent much time during the year in an effort to improve the method of distributing profits of the student store, because of numerous protests concern- ing the methods now in use. Several new plans were presented. Early spring was chosen by the student body as the time to elect council officers following an open forum in which plans for fall and mid-year elections were also considered. An amendment changing the elections date was passed resulting in elections this spring for the first time in G. H. S. history. After a short but spirited campaign Richard Duncan won out in the race for SCA. president over Bill Turner and James Worsley. Bill Horne defeated Jack Edwards by a slight majority in a run-off for the vice-presidential post. Other successful candidates were Louis DuPree, secretary and Eustace Conway, treasurer. The officers- elect will take over their new duties next September.

Early in the year the class chose H. R. Goodall, presi- dent; Jack Edwards, vice-president; Martha Rowe, secre- tary; and Doris Broadhurst, treasurer. Under their leadership the juniors have sponsored a magazine campaign, a carnival and four dances. The proceeds from these activities were used in stag- ing the annual Junior-Senior. The affair proved to be an outstanding social event of the school year.
