®^“Thrpartv held on the second floor from 3:45 to 5 :00, was an annual get-together The pur
pose of entertaining the new students was to acquaint them with each other and with the stu
dent leaders of Grimsley, as well as the various policies of the school itself.
Anv student new to G. H. S. other than sophomores from the three feeding Junior High

party, name tags were issued
to the participants in order
that they might refer to each other
by name. The student council
members supplemented this con
tribution with name tags of their
own.
The students were introduced to
the gathering, and a question and
answer period followed. Gag sheets
were filled out by the assemblege.
Some suggestions on the sheet
were: “Ask the neared person to
you if he uses the same kind of
toothpaste you do. If he doesn’t
sing three rounds of ‘She’ll Be
Coming Around The Mountains.’ ’’
Such question enabled the stu
dents to learn many pertinent
facts about their new friends.
Cordovas
Later in the program the Cor
dovas. a folk-singing group at
Grimsley High School, sang sev
eral selections for the guests. In
many instances the group was in
vited to join in accompaniment to
the songs. Some songs sung were-
“500 miles.’’ “Sail Away,” “The
Hangman,” and other favorites
For an encore they sang the in
famous “Hang Down Your Head
George Grimsley,” which comes as
the climax to every one of their
performances.
By far the most popular song
to the gathering was some song
about a rooster and a couple of
bird dogs.
Refreshments of cokes, cookies,
and potato chips were served to
the company.

Annual PSAT Tests
Taken By Juniors
1963 Preliminary Scholastic Ap
titude Tests were administered to
all interested Juniors Saturday,
October 19, at 8:30 in the Grims
ley Auditorium.
The PSAT is offered by the Col
lege Entrance Examination Board,
a non-profit organization whose
school and college members co
operate in developing services to
help high school students plan for
college.
An especially useful feature of
the PSAT is its similarity to the
College Board’s Scholastic Apti
tude Test (SAT), required for
admission to many colleges. Col
leges do not accept PSAT scores
in lieu of SAT scores, but because
the PSAT and the SAT ask the
same kinds of questions and mea
sure the same kinds of abilities,
a student’s scores on the PSAT
will give him and early indication
of how he will perform on the
SAT tests.

Before assembling his “Lawr
ence of Arabia” cast and technical
crew. Lean spent six months re
tracing routes of the Jordanian
desert taken by the legendary Col.
T. E. Lawrence during his cam
paign of 1916-1918, when he united
the feuding Arab tribes into a
geurilla army which finally broke
the back of the Ottoman Empire.
Using Lavirence’s maps, as re
produced in his own classic ac
count of the campaign, Seven Pil
lars of Wisdom, Lean scouted and
based his story on actual cities
and locales in Jordan, Israel.
Egypt, and Saudi Arabi.
It is Lawrence’s desire to unite
the Arabs under a self-govern
ment. but the British recognize
that hig idealism can be turned
to military advantage. Lawrence
and the Arabs finally take Damas
cus, but because of the conflict
between the numerous tribes, the
sherifs and sheikhs leave with
their men for their desert homes.
British General Alenby, waiting
for the failure of the Arabs to
rule themselves, takes Damascus.

'The Crucible' Presented October 15
At Aycock Auditorium By NRT
On Tuesday night. October 15, the National Repertory Thea
ter ended, its stay in Greensboro with the presentaton of “The
Crucible”, an engrossing drama by Arthur Miller. The play,
an adaptation of The Devil In Massachussetts, is purported to
be a true account of the Salem witchcraft incidents of 1962.
After watching this play, one can readily see why Puritanism
declned, although it had achieved great heights before that
time. The Puritans thought

that sin itself was not as bad
as hiding the sin, and since
there was no allowance for
imperfections of any kind, the
punishment was cruel and unjust.
Their leaders were often men who
had no outstanding ability of any
kind and who showed their stu
pidity by thoughtless actions.
They believed that evil and good
should be separated, never realiz
ing that this is a practical impossi
bility.
Aycock Auditorium was com
pletely filled as students and
adults alike were entranced by
the inspired acting of the stars.
Farley Granger received great ac
claim for his portrayal of John
Prcctor, a simple farmer who was
forced to choose between saving
his life by telling a lie or dying
for the sake of truth. Notable in
handling the more outstanding
roles were Anne Meacham as his
wife, Kelly Jean Peters as Abi
gail Williams, the young girl
whose tales began the terrible
“witch-massacre,” and Ben Yaffee
as the irksome Reverend Parris.
’The cast was further rounded out
by the performances of Denholm
Elliott as the Reverend John Hale,
Barbara Stanton as Mary Warren,
Betty Sinclair as Rebecce Nurse,
Thayer David as the pompous
Governor Danforth, Osceola Ar
cher as Tityba, and George Turner
in an excellent portrayal as Giles
Corely.
