MARCH, 1969 THE GRIER SCRIPT PAGE 3 FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE NEWS Recently, Mrs. McDonald’s fifth grade presented MGM’s newest production of “The Lewis and Clark Expedition.’’ Captain Lewis was played by Lori Wilson, Captain Clark was Holli Yates, starring as Sacajawea was Tammy Withers, the French trapper was Sheila Settlemyer, and finally President Jefferson was played by Ellick Wilson. The play was thought to be the most interesting, after all with such good actors, how could they miss! In the last issue, the students were asked what they most liked about the fifth and sixth grade. They are now going to tell us what they most dislike about it. Class work is a bore and so is homework, they complain. Report cards are terrifying. Restrooms, lunches, and being weighed are most dreadful. They are now studying how to divide, conservation, the Middle ages, Spain and Portugal, verbs, maracas, and drums. The students were asked what teacher they most like in Junior High. Their answers are: Nathan Connor > Mr. Connor because he is my Daddy. Chris O. Blake - Mrs. Brooks because she is pretty like me. Terry Creasman - Mrs. Cline because she is my boyfriend’s teacher. Traeye Clayton - Mr. Meeks, he’s very friendly. Chris Dickens - Mrs. Wise “cause she’s cute.” Omer Heracklis - Mr. Tiddy because my sister says he’s funny. Pam Farm - All of them are pretty good. Mark Hyne -1 hate them all! Eilerbe Page - Mr. Keener, be cause he looks cute. Jeanne Campbell - Mr. Costner, he’s nice. Leslie Edism - Mrs. Johnson because she has red hair just like me! TEACHER AND SKIRT LENGTHS Recently, we conducted a sur vey of the teachers in the eighth and ninth grade halls. The question was: “What do you think of the length of the skirts at Grier?” Mr. Keener - Too long! Mrs. Tiddy - They vary. Mrs. Vlaservich and Mr. Bancroft - Too short on some parts. Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Shiflet, and Mrs. Brooks - Fine. Mrs. Wise - As a teacher - too short, as fashion goes - fine. THE OLD AND THE NEW In the seventh grade, the teachers range from “Old Man Conner” to “New Lady Sibley.” For many of you who do not know the seventh grade teachers, here’s a chance for you to get acquainted. First, let’s start with one of the old, Mr. Conner. Mr. Conner lives on Fairfield Drive, has two children (Nathan and Candy), and loves, and we mean loves, to talk!! Seriously speaking, Mr. Conner is a jolly old chap. Mrs. Edwina Schooler is our next seventh grade teacher. Mrs. Schooler is younger than you think, has mixed grey hair, and enjoys Classical records, bridge (really poker), and Tronel. Mr. Gary Tiddy is young at heart. He dislikes digging up weeds and students. He has a daughter, Alacia Ann, who is two years old, and of course his wife is that good old English teacher Mrs. Tiddy. Mr. James Costner is one of our newer seventh grade teachers. He claims that he has sexy blue eyes, and goes to Go-Go Clubs, Mr. Costner has nice pets - snakes, and also a set of children. Mrs. Elizabeth Grigg is also an old timer here at Grier. She lives at 553 Eastwood Drive where she eats German Chocolate Cake all day long. Mrs. Grigg claims she is sixteen with a son seventeen. Mrs. Rachel Cline says she is thirty-four but is really hitting the forty line mark by four points!!! She enjoys everything and has two children, Jim, seven, and Linda age five. Mrs. Elfreida Brooks lives at 818 Cameron Avenue. She enjoys traveling and reading and dislikes nothing! Mrs. Brooks has one daughter, Elizabeth Faye, who is ten years old. Last we have our newest addition to the seventh grade faculty, Mrs. Opal Sibley. She lives at 2200 Williamsburg Drive with “Mike.” She has brown hair, sea blue eyes, and dislikes having snow in the winter. All the teachers were asked what they would do if they found a Jaguar in their bathtub. There answers are: Mrs. Sibley-Trade my Firebird in! Mrs. Brooks-Jump! Mr. Tiddy-Lock the door and call the game warden! Mr. Connor-Pull the plug! Mr. Costner-Strip the gears! Mrs. Grigg-List it for taxes! Mrs. Schooler-Put it on a shelf! Mrs. Cline-Run! FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE SPORTS These past school days, the sixth graders have been enjoying their new involvement in the sports world. This year under the direction of Mr. Johnson, they have begun to participate in sports. This allows the students to begin developing skills which will be useful to them in future P. E. programs. Among these sports are soccer, volleyball, and ba^etball. Besidesjust playing these games, they learn the funda mentals, and begin to learn the meaning of sportsmanship. They practice every afternoon at 2:30. The sixth grade boys also have been getting some experience in football through Gray-y. Although all their games didn’t turn out in their favor, the experience was good and they all agree it was a bunch of fun. They are hoping to organize a Gray-y basketball team in the near future. We wish the Gray-y team lots of luck. HAVE YOU HEARD? The seventh grade is really getting into the swing of things lately? Mrs. Grigg’s English classes are speaking Spanish? “Como usta usted”? Mr. Tiddy’s Math class is mixed- up? Is it the math or Mr. Tiddy’s crying spells? They were disecting oshie, goshie worms in Science? The attractive and original dis plays in the library recently, were seventh grade work? Current events are brought in, or else? They are really trying to im prove themselves? Some of the boys are finally noticing that the girls are girls? Some were able to go to the “Mint” and found the trip fun, yet interesting? About the seventh grade re bellion? FIFTH, SIXTH, AND SEVENTH GRADE FASHIONS Our elementary students are a real fashion-conscious bunch. They’re up-to-date on leather jumpers and matching skirt and sweaters. Tights and loafers, leather-suede boots, and saddle oxfords are the most for leg apparel. Topping this off, are fur and leather coats of white, black, and brown. Their hair long or short, is kept in style. As far as we can see, they really know what to wear and how to wear it. LETTER GIRLS Have you seen the letters G-R-I-E-R spelled out by a group of ninth grade girls? If so, you have seen our new Letter Girls. These girls were chosen to help aid the cheerleaders and to help boost school spirit. There are six Letter Girls. Denise Ball, who is the chief, wears the letter G, Tammy Russell letter R, Susan Stroup letter I, Kathy Williams letter E, and Pam Puett letter R. Last, we have Candy Rhyne, who bears the Knight emblem and is the co-captain. These girls are active in school, members of the Pep Club, and other committees. Their other ac tivities include boys, sports, swimming, playing the piano, and eating different types of food. With help from Mrs. Jenkins, they designed their own uniforms. These include low waisted gold pleatedi jumpers, with black letters, black turtleneck sweaters, and white socks or black tights. All the girls were very surprised, yet pleased to be chosen to help the student body become more involved in school activities. So far, these girls have done a very good job of helping out at pep rallies and at games. (The students could show how they appreciate them by really yelling at games and rallies.) Let’s wish them luck and hope they can continue their good job through out the remainder of the year! SECOND - RATE CITIZENS Recently, a large group of seventh graders appeared before the Co-ordinating Committee with the complaint of not getting enough dances. This is just the beginning of their troubles. They do not get a chance to participate in gym classes even though there is an open period, they have little representation on the student council’s committees, and, in fact, do have less dances. It seems the only advantage they have is first lunch. Something is being done about the latter too, thanks to the group who appeared before the Co-ordinating Committee. These seventh graders are getting pretty tired of being referred to as “those little seventh graders.” We appealed to the P. T. A. and student council to help better the situation of these “second rate citizens.” They deserve better and the Grier Script stand firmly behind them in their attempts to participate in school affairs equally with other Junior High grades. Work hard seventh graders, do a good job with every thing that comes your way, and keep pushing.
