On City Youth Council
Cam Harris, Mary Earle, Bill
James, and Penn Holsenbeck are
representing Grimsley Senior High
School on the Greensboro Youth
Council, which met last Tuesday
night at 7:30 in the Municipal
Building for primarily organiza
tional purposes.
At this meeting a chairman was
elected, and the council tried to
define more clearly its purpose
and to decide in what areas it will
operate.
At the recommendation of the
Mayor’s appointed Committee on
Youth Planning early this month,
this council if young people was
formed. Working closely with the
Mayor’s Committee, the Council’s
purpose will be to express its
ideas on matters concerning the
youth and help plan community
action directed toward the young
people. Through the council stu
dents may express ideas on ways
to act on suggestions made by the
Greensboro Committee on Youth
Activities early in October.
Two weeks ago a meeting was
held to introduce the Youth Coun
cil to the adult Committee of
Youth Planning and to establish
the purpose of the council.
•Membership
At this time the Youth Council
consisted of four students from
Page and three from Grimsley—
Cam Harris, Mary Earle, and Bill
James. Curry, Notre Dame, Besse
mer, and Dudley Senior High
Schools each have one representa
tive each. Since this committee
is to be operating on a permanent
basis, the Youth Council voted
unamiously that each school se
lect a junior to serve on the coun
cil so that its work could be car- ! Board
Tied on more effectively in follow- | phillip
Lucille Brown, Guidance Director
for Greensboro City Schools; and

While the Youth Council is co
operating with the Committee of
Youth Planning, the School Board
has designated its own committee
to study social and service club
activities.
School Board Ruling

tivities of, any social club shall
not be permitted to participate in
the extra-curricular program of
the Greensboro Public School
System, to hold any office in the
schools, or to represent the schools
in any off-campus activity.”
This statement was a part of the
ruling passed by the Greensboro
City Board of Education last week
in their “Policy Statement re So
cial Clubs,” which will become ef
fective at the beginning of the
second semester of the 1962-63
school year.

it clear that it does not have the
authority to ban social clubs. It
can, however, exclude members of
social clubs and students who par
ticipate in any social club actlvl
ties from athletic teams, cheer
leaders, majorettes, dramatics
choir, band, orchestra, publica

GHS Rings Arrive
Grimsley Senior High School’s
order for school rings arrived this
week.
Distribution of tbe rings began
Wednesday and will be completed
this afternoon. The total cost for
each ring was $13.67, which in
cludes the two dollars down pay
ment and state and federal taxes.
Down payments for five hundred
rings were made in September,
but in order to receive his ring,
each student must present his re
ceipt to show proof of purchase.
The rings resemble those of past
years in that it will be centered
around a large block “G”, which
is set off on each by a facsimile
of the main building and the GHS
shield.
The ring has retained its present
form since 1941, when the United
States entered World War 11. Be
fore 1961 the school colors were
gold and purple, and so a purple
stone, the amethyst, was mounted
on the ring, Czechoslavakia sup
plied this stone, and when the
Czechoslavakian people entered
World War II, they were no longer
able to supply this stone. Thus
the ring was changed to its pres
ent form.

six movements including “Wol-
sey’s Wilde” and “Jhon Come
