In an effort to increase their knowledge of journal- ism the members of the class have attended several press conventions during the year. Some of these were the Southern Interscholastic Press association at Washing- ton and Lee, the Columbia Scholastic Press association at Columbia University and the North Carolina Scholas- tic Press Institute at the University of North Carolina. At these conventions Green Lights is judged by news- paper experts. The paper received a medalist rating at the CSPA, a first-place rating at SIPA, and the honor of being the best paper in North Carolina at NCSPI.
