Registration in regard to voting
Governor's School
Candidates Chosen
Nominees from GHS for the
second Governor’s School are Car-
ol Bowen, English; Frances Fer
guson, history; “Taffi” Winston,
math; Louise Homey, science; and
Charlanne Fields, language. This
eight week session is to start June
8.
Students nominated for the Gov
ernor’s School must meet many
requirements. Those selected in
academic fields are nominated on
a combination of IQ scores, teach
er’s ratings and a number of
courses taken in a given area.
Called the “Governor’s School”
for Terry Sanford, it was the idea
of his special assistant, John Ehlee,
who is a novelist and former uni
versity professor. The 1963 Gover
nor’s School which was mostly
an experiment, enrolled mostlp^
400 students nominated in differ
ent fields. By the end of the ses
sion, each student had completed
an equivalent of a year’s work
in the subject in which he majored.
Last years Governor’s School
was a success. All students were
given a questionnaire asking if

will operate ona different scale
from that of last year. In past
years registration by a student was
required before the primary elec
tion and also prior to the final
election. This system allowed ev
eryone to vote in the primary but
only those who had re-registered
were able to vote in the final elec
tion. One could have voted in the
primary election and not in the
final election thus creating a defi
nite reduction of votes in the final
and most important election.
This year the first and fore
most registration enables one to
vote in both the primary, April
28, and in the final election on
May 28, and in the final election
on May 4. This procedure adopted
for this year’s election will assure
a more certain opinion of the stu
dent body in regard to their par
ticular candidate and will prevent
the practice of non-voting.
Convention
April 28 has been designated as
the date for the convention which
is the primary for the main of
fices of the student body. This
convention will narrow the margin
down to two candidates for each
office. Convention procedure fol
lows the electoral college system
as established by the Congress of
the United States. Each homeroom
will vote on each particular cand
idate. The voting being completed,
the homeroom will then elect two
delegates who will represent the
decisions of that homeroom at the
convention. The first hour of the
convention will follow the general
pattern of an assembly; however,
after the first hour of the conven
tion, only the delegates will re
main. The delegates may cast their
votes in any manner they deem
necessary or may split their votes,
one for one candidate, and the
second for another candidate.
president of the International
Rotary Club, will extend a
formal invitation to Rainer
shortly and reveal more de
tails.
The Grimsley chapter of Inter
act, which is sponsored by the
Greensboro Rotary Club, has re
ceived International attention for
the past two years. At last year’s
International Rotary Club conven
tion at St. Louis, Missouri, the
Rotary Advisory Committee, of
which Dr. Tom Henson of Greens,
boro happened to be a member,
granted special recognition to the
Grimsley Interact for its remark
able record of accomplishments.
An article about the Grimsley
group and a picture of Rainer
Trebin appear on the front page
of the current issue of the Rotary
Magazine.
The purpose of the Rotary clubs
are to provide service and to pro
mote international understanding.
Rotarians organized the first In
teract (stands for Internationa]
Action) clubs in November of
1962. They feel that students are
most impressionable and most
suitable to learn international un
derstanding at the high school age.
Rotarians would like to see many
more Interact clubs formed.
All books belonging to the
Grimsley High School Library
must be returned not later than
4 p.m. on May 25, 1964. The
library will be open for refer-
...ence only and for clearing
records until examinations be
gin. A fine of 25c per day per
book will be charged for books
returned after May 25.

Bigger and better are the words
that can be used to describe the
plans for HIGH LIFE for the year
1964-1965.
Jane Turpin, who was chosen
as Editor in Chief, says that the
look of the paper will be much
the same as this year’s paper. Of
course the staff is planning a big
ger paper, but the main thing
they are going to try and work for
is an improvement in writing.
News Editor, Fran Upchurch, is
not planning on n^any drastic
changes. Like Jane, she plans for
the writing to be better. Make-up
of the front page, as of the rest
of the paper, will be much the
same as that of this year’s HIGH
LIFE.
John Taylor, Feature Editor,
has made plans for several
changes in the feature page. Bud
dy Powell will have an original
column for Bill’s Bull. If John
decides to keep “Ann Slanders”
he will alternate it with an eti
quette column.
There will not be many changes
in page three, the Culture Page,
except in its name. It will now bo
called the Review Page.
Paula Main, Assistant Sports
Editor this year, will become
Sports Editor in 1964-1965. John
Giles will replace her as Assistant
Sports Editor. Paula’s plans for
next year will include more cover
age and pictures with more pages
making this possible. She plans
on leaving out “Sportsology” and
the various sports quizzes that
have appeared this year.
The new staff, as announced in
the March 27 issue of HIGH LIFE
have included several of these
changes in this, their experimental
issue.
