Spring Elections Underway
Elections of junior and
senior student government

week.
The policy on student
council representatives and
class representatives has
been revised. There will be
four officers for each class
and seven officers for the
student council including
the new position of Vice-
President. The student coun
cil President must be a

There More To Daisies
Than Meets The Eye
By Lisa Berkelhammer
“May Daisies?” They
mean a lot more than a love-
me-love-me-not game or a
project for our GHS French
Club. This year there was a
gross of 3,187 daisies.
That’s a lot of daisies and
quite a bit of money.
Mme. Ann Oakley, French
Club advisor and chairper
son of the French depart
ment, stresses that the
money will be used for
“. .. educational purposes to
benefit the students of
Grimsley.” The sale profits
go into an account where a
portion of the funds are used
for rejital of films for all
French classes.
The excess funds are sav
ed for future projects. The
original allocation idea was
for an “amity aid.” The
Amity Association is an
organization which trains
future French educators.
However, the hosting school
must pay part of the ex
penses.
student council positions are
undesignated. The class
representatives come from
each grade level.
In the process of elections,
applications are available in
the guidance office, a can
didates’ meeting is held, a
campaign week is held, and
then speeches are given
prior to the day of voting.

Mme. Oakley envisions
many projects such as a
classroom video tape system
so students can clearly see
their mistakes in French
skits and conversations.
Another possible project
might be the sponsorship of
an exchange student or the
subsidizing of a gifted stu
dent for “an experiment in
international living.”
Perhaps enough funds could
be saved to purchase accom
panying tapes and film
strips for the new texts to be
adopted in 1982.
According to some par
ticipants in the project, the
money raised is almost
secondary. Getting and/or
giving a May Daisy makes
that day special. The sym
bolic flower can be a gesture
of admiration, respect,
friendship, or love. Mme.
Oakley emphasizes how the
entire sales campaign cuts
across all socio-economic
barriers in the student body
in addition to “giving spirts
a lift.”
‘Who’s Who’ Qianges Policy;
46 Whirlies Inducted
By Lisa Von Aspem
Who’s Who In Greensboro
Youth, an annual search for
outstanding high school
students in Greensboro,
changed its selection pro
cess this year.
In the past, the nominees
were self-nominated, judged
by the Greensboro Youth
Council, and chosen. This
year, however, the full staff
of each high school submit
ted the names of students
who had shown outstanding
qualities. Those students
whose names had been sub
mitted the most number of
times were then named to
Who’s Who In Greensboro
Youth. Each school was
allotted 50 spaces: 25 for
seniors, 15 for juniors, and
10 for sophomores.
According to Guidance
Counselor Mr, Bernie
Henkel, the process was
changed because there were
complaints in the past, and
students who did not take
the initiative to nominate
themselves were being
overlooked. Henkel also
pointed out that most
students seem to feel that
being nominated by a facul
ty member is a greater honor
than self-nomination.

who were selected Who’s
Who In Greensboro for 1981

Maybe it’s not Longfellow’s “host of goldioi daffodils,’’ but
the French Club certainly did sell a lot of white daisies.

bring to their American
family the cultural enrich

and a sincere desire to learn
about our daily life here.
This is a
family adventure, one in
which the family will grow
to understand another
culture and learn more about
their own country as they
explore their community
with their exchange student.
