Student Council
To Present Platform
Members of the Greensboro Sen
ior High Student Council met in
a called meeting last Thursday to
decide on what action the student
body as represented by the council
should take in the recent renaming
of Greensboro Senior High to
George Adonijah Grimsley Senior
High.
It was decided by the Council to
draw up a platform in which would
be stated the reasons why the GHS
student body feels that Greensboro
Senior High should be retained
as the name of the school. This
platform will be presented by some
member of the executive board of
the council to the Board of Educa
tion. The student council member
to make the presentation has not
yet been chosen.
The Council will meet every day
until the platform has been drawn
up to the set specifications.
Mr. Lody Glenn, assitant princi
pal who spoke to the Council at
the initial meeting, said, “The
proper thing to do is to decide
what they wish to present to the
School Board concerning this mat-
ter.”
“Petitions, demonstrations, and i
the like will do no good, but will]
only create more problems,’’ he
continued.
In order to preserve the G of
GHS, the Board of Education de
cider unanimously to name the
school after Mr. Grimsley. A super
intendent of the city schools for 12
years from 1890 to 1902, Mr. Grims
ley then served as an insurance
executive and as president of Jef
ferson Standard Life Insurance
Company from 1913 to 1919.
