CARROLLTON. GA.
1. Students may attend Sunday
afternoon shows if they have per
mits from parents. Girls may ride
in cars to the show Sunday after
noon under the same regulations
for riding to town on week after
noons.
2. No student is allowed to drive
beyond the City Limits of Car
rollton except by special permit
or when driving to and from home.
3. Students may attend a facul
ty sponsored dance in the gymna
sium 6 to 7:15 p. m. each Thurs
day.
4. The time for turning lights out
in the girls’ dormitories will be
extended to 12 o’clock on Friday
and Saturday nights only as long
as there is not disturbance after
that hour. The first instance of dis
turbance after that hour will be
sufficient cause for provoking that
privilege in the dormitory where
it occurs.
5. Signing in and out of all dor
mitories must be main tamed; how
ever, the penalty for failing to do
so is reduced to two days restric
tion.
Teddy Brown, president of the
Student Council, introduced the
petition and it was referred to
the executive committee, which
conferred with administration au
thorities and arrived at the con-
I elusions.
Then at a called meeting of the
Council, the proposals were pre
sented, voted upon, and accepted
by the members of the Council.
It is important to note that these
privileges were granted as a re
sult of student requests based on
the following statements in the
petition: a. “To be given a chance
to prove how grown up we can
be,” and b. “Please give us just
one chance to prove ourselves:”
