January 29,1981 HIGH LIFE Page 3 rrials And Tribulations: Exam Week Woes World Lit India Speaker On the night (and early oming) before semester ;ams, I locked myself in my om ready to bum the idnight oil. I sat at my desk ith stacks of textbooks, med with a gallon of ffee, in an effort to learn I the material that I hadn’t amed these past eighteen seks. I gazed at my Chemistry )ok, wondering why there a Carbon and a Carbon 12, ong with many other Car- ms. CAEBON has six tters. Therefore, Carbon’s mbol should be Carbon 6. And my chemistry teacher thinks I don’t know any thing! After studying all my other subjects in the same manner, I was ready to take my exams with the as surance of doing well. So, it came, the beginning of exam week. I wondered why two hours were allotted for the tests when I knew I could complete them in half that time. (Maybe it’s be cause few people know the material as well as I do). When I got my test I stared in disbelief. I had By Anne Henry never seen this material before in my life.! I looked around at the other students who hovered diligently over their tests. Could it be that I was in the wrong class? No, the room number was the same as the class that I had been walking into all along. I began to tremble; my heart lodged in my throat. Suddenly I had a thought — maybe if I had come to class prepared. . . maybe if I had kept awake during films and lectures. . . maybe if I had taken notes. . . maybe. . . maybe. . . maybe. . . In The Long Run e Soltesz , , By Steve Soltesz Running, the growing lysical fitness fad through- it the United States, has tracted many competitors local races. One such arathon (26.2 miles) ap- saled to Alan Fry, a UNC-G udent and recent Grimsley aduate. To understand the strug- e a runner must go through en to think about compet- g in a marathon, one must :perience it. Total dedica- in to training, a strong body, and a little insanity is required. Fry possesses all of these qualities. Through his achievements in wrestling, track, and cross country at Grimsley, Fry gained confidence in him self, yet was not satisfied. The marathon stood in his way. “A month before twelfth grade track was over, 1 decided I was going to run,’ ’ said Fry. After three months of his running thirteen miles a day. Fry’s chance came. On a slightly humid Saturday in October, out of a field of 90 participants (68 of whom finished). Fry finished thir teenth. His time was 3:13:22, approximately seven and a half minutes per mile. Fry achieved his goal. He finished where he did be cause the hard work and determination he began to develop at Grimsley paid off in the long run. Whirlies Take Three Big Wins By Bob Gay arimsley stopped Page for 5 second time this season an exciting contest. The lirlie boys eiIso defeated 3Stem Guilford 61-52, dth 51-4'7, and were bea- i by Reynolds 56-51 earlier s month. Against Western, Cedric kely poured in 22 points to ;d the Whirlies, and Juan stin added 12. In another se game, Grimsley edged nth when Mike Hinson’s >t with eight seconds re- lining, and the score knot- 1 at 46-46, was ruled good goaltending, and atechni- , Grimsley also scored two free throws by Hinson er receiving the ball. The [lirlies were also accessed ;h a technical foul when il Foster slammed the ball wn, after Hinson was foul- , and the game ended with lith’s David Taylor hitting 3 free throw. Hinson )red 15 points in the losing ort at Reynolds. Once again the Page game ls a thriller. The outcome, ■55, was not obvious until ge missed two desperation ots at the end, one which is blocked by Hinson. Grimsley was led by kely with 22 points, 13 sounds, and 5 steals, onnie Sweeney contrib- buted a good defensive game that included 7 blocked shots, and Austin added 10 points.

Heart has achieved a great deal since their early years. From their debut album, “Dreamboat Annie,” which went platinum in seven weeks, to their latest, “Bebe le Strange,” they have gain ed many hit songs along with acquiring many loyal fans. Their new album contains many of their best songs, including a few live record ings, a combination that is nearly imbeatable. The songs on this album range from their hard rock hits “Barracuda,” “Crazy on You,” and “Magic Man,” to the softer ballads such as “Dreamboat Annie,” and the classic “Dog and Butterfly.” Even though these songs are Heart’s “greatest,” the live recordings highlight the albirni. Most of the live songs are Heart’s materisd; however, the album also contains their version of the Beetle’s “I’m Down” and “Long Tall Sally,” and an excellent version of Led Zep- pelin’s smash hit, “Rock and RoU.” Heart’s “Greatest Hits/ Live” is an excellent collec tion of their best recordings, along with a hint of Heart in concert. Let ’Em RoU By Fran Tuberman It’s Friday night and everything’s a bore. What is everyone to do? “Hey, why don’t we roll someone’s house!?” If you haven’t heard this magic phrase, you must have been.in hibernation! This is the new fad — rolling houses — the hottest craze to hit Grimsley students in years. Charmin, White Cloud, or K-Mart special — it matters not. Just take your pick, choose a house (preferably one with lots of fi'ont yard trees) of friend or foe, and let ’em roll! put on a beautifuf feeling MMlIECSi m AN S FRIENDLY CENTER FORUM VI
