her dreams;’’
A more recent addition to
Grimsley’s version of the

According to participants.
The King and I will be the
most spectacular production
that high school drama stu
dents in the Greensboro City
School System have ever
presented.
The idea for this extrava
ganza was proposed by Mr.
Daniel Seaman, head of the
Dudley Drama Department
and teacher of Repetoire
Theatre at Weaver Center.
This is the first production
that is truly city-wide; al
though it is not the first time
such a plan has been tried.
The reason this.production is
expected to be so successful
is that threr will be five
full-time faculty members
participating, each having a
certain job, with Mr. Mike
Parrish, head of the Drama
Department at Weaver,
directing. Each will be work
ing hard to achieve their goal
of perfection in each sep
arate aspect of the produc
tion.
The students will rehearse
for ten weeks before opening
night. Out of the 115 partici
pating students, the largest
number, 35, is contributed
bj^Grims]ew
seniors, voted upon by sen
ior homerooms, make up the
court. One of the ten will be
honored as 'Twirp King with
two others serving as his
Dukes.
“I hope this year’s 'Twirp
Court is taken more seri
ously,’’ said Amy Anderson,
student coordinator for this
year’s dance. “Last year it
was not taken as seriously as
anticipated. I hope it be
comes as important as
Homecoming Court,’’ she
continued.

High IQ Team Places Fifth; Earns Berth In Finals
In an effort to repeat last
year’s championship per
formance, Grimsley again
placed in the top eight teams
to compete in the finals of
the High IQ Bowl. The
five-member team placed
fifth in preliminaries held at
A&’I^ State University on
February 6.
Qualifying for the finals
was the culmination of weeks
of work by Coach Bert Whis-
enant, attestor Peter Hilde-
brandt, and the five member
team: Craig Fleishman, Lisa
Goldmem, Mark Langston,
Capteun Bill Meyerhoffer,
and Ira Sheldon. Grimsley’s
team scored 766 points Sat
urday, not quite equalling
last year’s effort. (The 1980
Grimsley team set a record
for most points scored in
preliminary competition.)
The reputation established
by last year’s first place
team seems to have provided
incentive rather than pres
sure for the team. Hilde-
brandt, comparing the
team’s progress with that
lastjyear before the prelimi
naries, said, “As far as we
can tell, we’re doing better
than they were at this time
last year. ’ ’
