Chess Team Organized
Jennings Advises Group
Faculty advisor for the Chess
Team of Grimsley High this year
is Mrs. Jennings. As of the pres
ent, the team has not encountered
any opponents; however, they plan
to play the team from Durham
High School in the near future..
Playing first board this year
will be John Keen, who, along
with Harry Boyte, also from
Grimsley, and the highest rating
of any high school chess player
throughout the state. Charles
Pressley will be playing second
board. Third and fourth board
players have not yet been decided.
The team is looking forward to
a year such as they had last year.
It was the Chess Team’s most suc
cessful year since its beginning a
few years ago. Aside from having
the most highly rated players, Har
ry Boyte and John Keen, they also
were rated among the four best
Chess Teams from high schools in
North Carolina. In playing
matches, our team has suffered
no defeats in playing high school
team competitors. They also play
local colleges. They tied the score
in the game with State College.
They have also played Carolina
and Duke University.
The Chess Team meets at 3:30
p..m. in the Band Room on Fri

ers. The Dean Langmiur Foun
dation sponsors the theme
reading project. Dr. Bish told
that the Foundation had made an
excellent beginning, and the mon
ey given to the project has been
doubled.
Dr. Bish works closely with the
Academically Talented Child in
the United States Department of
Education. Dr. Bish spoke on de
veloping talents of the students
rather than putting emphasis on
intelligence quotient tests. He em
phasized the place of the academi
cally talented child in our time;
on school set up; and what should
be done or expected from the AT
child. He said that the students
are not getting smarter, but are
more precocious and the teachers
must prepare them for problems.
There is a need for more teachers
rather than money.
Earnest creativity in a child can
compensate very well for a high
intellect,” quoted Dr. Bish,

Holiday Aefivities Begun
At GHS Service Clubs
With holiday seasons close at
hand, the sponsoring of needy
families, charity drives, and good
will services are but a few of the
many things the various school
clubs recently have had and will
have as interests.
Grimsley’s service clubs have ac
cepted various projects pertaining
only to the holiday season as well
as others concerning school and
community.
The Junior Jaycees will con
struct a Nativity scene overlook
ing Westover Terrace, as has^ been
done in the past. This project has
been adopted as an annual occur
rence. Service to the community
ranks first on their agenda. Illus
trating this, the Junior Jaycees
have recently been devoting their
Saturdays to the beautification of
Hamilton Lakes and Starmount.
The sponsoring of a needy fam
ily has been adopted as the task
taken on by the Key Clubs a3 the
festive season looms closer. A
combined effort from all members
is to be directed toward the cloth
ing and feeding of the chosen
family. Service to the school is
prevalent in the Key Club as the
long awaited directory approaches
completion.. The Key Club direc
tory, which lists names and ad
dresses of the entire student body,
is to be distributed sometime be
fore Thanksgiving; however no
definite date has been reached.
Charioteers
Whirlie women do not lag idly
behind. The Charioteers present a
lengthy list of service projects.
Among these is the planting of the
largest area of the grove. Numer
ous azaleas and dogwoods have
been planted, and as an added at
traction, a bird bath is to be erect
ed in one of the flower boxes;
however, it will not feature a
statue of the naked Venus as its
center piece. The Charioteers have
adopted the project of attaching
streamers to cars, prior to athletic
contests, and they participate ac
tively in charity drives. Volunteer
work at the Historical Museum
also is deserving of mention.
Service projects are carried on
abroad as well as at home. Mem
bers of our G. H. S. Inter-Act Club
have taken it upon themselves to
sponsor an exchange student. The
student will come from Regens
burg, Germany (Bavaria), and is
to arrive sometime in January of
this year. The exchange student
will reside at the homes of vari
ous club members and will at
tend Grimsley for a period of a
year.
The Civinette annual project
will again be put into effect as
clothes and other vitally needed
articles are to be sent to a pre
scribed family in Kentucky. The
most destitute family is the one
receiving the benefits of this or
ganization.
Clvitans
The Junior Civitan club is soon
to distribute pocket bulletin
boards featuring the 1963-64 bas
ketball schedule printed on the
back. Their yearly fruit cake sale
is expected to yield some six or
seven hundred dollars. Money
from the fruit cake sale will be
used as the basis for future serv
ice projects. A “projects night”
will be held in January and proj
ects will be discussed and voted
on. As an added attraction, the
cheerleading stand was donated to
the school by the Civitans for use
in football contests.
