“The only reward of virtue is virtue, the only way to have a friend is to be one. ” Ralph Waldo Emerson VOLUME XVI W. P. GRIER JR. HIGH SCHOOL GASTONIA. N. C., APRIL, 1972 NO 3 SPRING HAS SPRUNG!! WDNCASC AprU the 8th was the date of the N. C. Association of Student Councils Convention. The conven tion was held at Ashbrook High. At the convention elections were held for officers of the western district. Our own president Lynne Triminal is running for secretary. Workshops and discussion groups were held. In the discussion groups problems that student councils have were brought up at these con ventions and all schools benefit from the meeting. APRIL 22, SAT. MAKE UP DAY It was snowing rather heavily when everyone woke up. Everyone was shouting “No school!” But then after it started melting every one got the scare that they usu ally get. When will the day they missed be made up? Some thought it would be during Easter, others thought it would be added onto the end of the year, but the school board said it would be held on Sat., April 22. So it looks like you won’t be able to stay home and watch Tom and Jerry that day. IT’S SPRING! Flowers are blooming Birds are singing Butterflies are flying Spring is springing Trees are budding Bees are humming Grass is growing Spring is coming Puppies are playing Love is near Clouds are floating Spring is here People are lazy Winter is past Skies are blue It.s spring, at last! Anonymous ‘PUPPY LOVE” “Puppy Love” will be the theme of the 1972 ninth grade prom. The prom which is sponsored by the ninth-grade officers will be held in the gym on May 5*. The dress will be formal. The price will be $1.50 stag, and $2.00 drag. The prom will be open for ninth grad ers only. The plans are now being made and from the way things look now, it will really be a big success. Boys, you better ask your date now, because the girls are going fast!!
