Aboui' l400 sfuclenfs, representing twenty-five valley high schools, met at Selma on March 25 to discuss the problems of American Youth. Each year in a town in the San Joaquin Valley one of these Ideals Confer- ences is held with an attendance of approximately 900, but this year the publicity was so effective that the record reached an all-time high. After registration was completed, the conference was officially opened by Selma High's Student Body Presi- dent, Miss Pauline Davis. A panel discussion on The students. Then the conference broke up into numerous small groups in which informal discussions were held. The topics considered were of a social, economic, and political nature, dealing mainly with war and peace, personality, vocations, success, and federal policies. The conference was entirely a student affair, teachers being excluded from leading or participating in the debates. This type of conference enables the youth of America to come together on a non-competitive basis and participate in open forums on the problems facing them as they take their places in the world. It also gives them a chance to meet the leading students of other schools and make lasting friendships. It has been shown that these conclaves are filling a long- felt need and are becoming increasingly successful. This xiew of the crowd coming from the high school was taken from a window nf the Baptist Church, The town was simply overflowing with young people. They were found even .icross the tracks, .it least ten blockx from the center of activity! Real Values of Living followed, led by four Fresno Une of the It-.inlets from Se'n1a, Mary Laroline XY'righl, is leading the topic, Stre.imlining Our Teachers. Students seemed to feel that men teachers control their temper: better, but that women .ire more under- standing. sa
