This March, GRIMSLEY’S
Theatre Workshop will present
“Messages from the Asylum’’ at
the Southern Eastern Theatre
Conference in Lexington, Ken
tucky. They will be one of ten
staes represented. The drama
group qualified to represent
North Carolina after taking first
place in the regional Carolina
Dramatic Association last Febru
ary and state CDA last March.
The Whirlies’ next accomplish
ment was taking the North Caro-,
lina Theatre Conference state title
in October. Ronald Tucker and
Lisa Morton also received Best
Actor and Actress awards.
In addition to all of these
honors, the theatre workshop will
present a one-act play, "Ken
nedy’s Children,” at the 50th
anniversary of the international
thespian conference. The con
vention will be in Munice, In
diana, and will be held in June.
GRIMSLEY was chosen as one
of 60 schools from throughout the
world to attend this conference
after presenting “Flowers for
Algernon” at a regional Thespian
conference. The production was
given at North Carolina School of
the Arts, in Winston-Salem.
These awards represent the
dedication that the drama stu
dents have, and the hard work
and practice they put into their
productions, “Short Subjects,”
their most recent endeavor was
sold out both nights. This should
show the Theatre Workshop that
GRIMSLEY is behind them, all
the way to Kentucky!

We are lucky to have so many
fine teachers at GRIMSLEY.
Their dedication spirit is worth
more than this smalt amount of
recognition.
A number of social study
teachers have traveled across the
U.S. and abroad. Their expedi
tions lend themselves easily to
interesting stories. Armed with
these, teachers can reach out and
touch the vivid Imagination of
youth.
Our science teachers are con
stantly taking classes during
their spare time to keep their
students well informed of the
changing world around them.
Let’s not forget our English and
Math teachers, who are forever
attending workshops and semi
nars.
Teachers of the language de
partment are very dedicated to
their classes even though the size
of language classes has been
slowly dwindling as the years go
by.
Lastly we as students at
GRIMSLEY SENIOR HIGH
SCHOOL should recognize the
teachers of the physical education
department for the time and
effort they put in toward GRIMS
LEY’S excellent athletic pro
grams.
They all deserve not only
recognition, but our appreciation
and respect. We as students still
have a long way to go. The
knowledge our teachers share
with us will be our key to doors in
the future.

Although SAT scores here and
on the national level continue
their decline, GRIMSLEY’S
scores remain the highest in the
city and are above the national
average.
The average GHS student scor
ed 432 on the verbal section, and
477 in math, while the national
averages were 429 and 470. Our
SAT results were far above the
state and Southern averages as
well. North Carolina’s figures
were 394 for verbal and 425 for
math; in the South, 410 and 444
were the average scores.
The superiority of college board
results is an example of GRIMS
LEY’S excellence as a high
school. It is a reflection of the fine
education we are receiving here,
and is due in part to our caring,
quality teachers. But deserving of
the most credit are the students at
GRIMSLEY, who, after all, made
the highest SAT scores in
Greensboro.
