Plans For Another Exchange Student Made
Grimslcy’s chapter of the Inter
act Club has decided to try to
make the sponsorship of an ex-
change student an annual project.
In connection with this aim, the
Rotary Club here in Greensboro
along with the Interact Club at
GHS have sent letters to Rotary
Clubs in Europe and South Ameri
ca.
In order for arrangements to
be made for the arrival of the
new student, basic plans, such as
transportation, where the person
will stay, and part of his activities,
are being made.
Omission
HIGH LIFE regrets that the
name which should have ap
peared with one of the letters
in the last issue was missing.
Our apologies go to Candy
Sauer.
Ralph Beaver, official photogra
pher for “High Life” recently re
ceived his professional photogra
pher’s license.
He obtained his license by writ
ing to Raleigh. Although this was
a very simple process, Beaver said
the license meant a lot to him. He
has been working toward getting
it for some time.
Beaver has been interested in
photography since doing special
slide shows at Lindley Junior High
School. He now takes his pictures
with a collection of several differ
ent types of cameras, both for in
door and outdoor use, and he de
velops them in his own dark
room complete with everything
needed to produce the pictures.
The members of the “High Life”
staff, upon which Ralph serves as
photographer, consider him to be
a valuable asset to the paper. The
better quality in pictures this year
as compared to last is credited to
him and illustrates his skill.
Since he has become profession
al, Ralph has begun to offer his
services to the public.
Prom Plans Given

will be held in the boys' gym on
