In fact, they are as busy as ever as the centennial commit tee organizes the Centennial Celebration, which will conclude the celebration of the historic year. Chairman of the centennial committee is Faurie Katz, who, with over 40 other com mittee members, began planning the year’: events during the summer of 1998. The yearlong celebration began at the Giimsley/Page football game, where Mayoi Carolyn Allen read her Centennial Procla mation during halftime and recognized sev eral former Grimsley principals as well. Now, seven months later, the committee is gear ing up for the culminating celebration, which will take place on Thursday, May 20*. The event will begin at 7:00 p.m. with a con cert in the Grimsley auditorium, which will fea ture the Madrigals, the orchestra, and the band. The Madrigals are celebrating their 30* anni versary this year and will be joined by former members during their centennial performance. Mr. Hazehnan, one of Grimsley’s former band directors and composer ofthe 50-year-old alma mater, is in the process of writing a centennial march, which the band will perform at the con cert. The PTSA will honor Mr. Hazelman, along with other former faculty members, between the performances during the concert. A reception in the gym will follow the con cert, during which students, alumni, faculty, and former faculty can get together and catch up on old times. “Our goal is to bring every one who has had any connection to Grimsley into one room so that alumni can hook up with their teachers and current students can see the history of the school,” says Mrs. Katz. The PTSA will also honor former Grimsley coaches and introduce a new coach as well. Several classes will set up booths to show how Grimsley has progressed through out the years. The IB Art Design students will display their artwork, the yearbook staff will display old yearbooks, and the High Life will have a school newspaper from each de cade. The archives department will have nu merous artifacts for people to see, and Peter Byrd, the school historian, will sell copies of Grimsley’s history. Bill Mangum, who painted a watercolor of the main building two years ago, will sell autographed copies of the painting. Notecards of the painting will also be for sale. The committee also invited the cheerlead ers, JROTC, and the flag girls to participate in the celebration. There is no cost for admission, so the cen tennial committee has been working hard to keep the cost of the celebration at a minimum. All of their funding has come from a small PTSA budget, which has covered signs and invitations for distinguished guests. As the event draws nearer, the centen nial committee is constantly planning even more activities to celebrate the closing of the centennial year. “Our hope is that any one who has any connection, past or present, will come celebrate this historic year with us,” says Mrs. Katz.
