grams at GHS. Working out at the scenic YMCA Pool, the tankmen have the “push” this
year to carry them to a state crown.
Managers and Trainers Provide
Valuable Help To GHS Teams
To effectively run any athletic team, organization is definitely a prime need. At GHS one
of the most important cogs in the wheel of the athletic department is the squad of trainers
and managers, which are a great asset to our school. Although this group of young men is very
often overlooked, knowledgable people realize the value of the trainers and managers.
Grimsley is very lucky to have three excellent trainers—Mr. Jim Balance, faculty trainer—
Bill Tucker, head student trainer, and Mike Caudle, assistant trainer. In the words of Trainer
Tucker, “our job is the prevention and care of athletic injuries.” Although this basic state
ment seems very simple, one
should not quickly conclude
that a first aid book and a
few band-aids are the only re-
quirements to be a trainer. Our
staff is called on to treat injuries
ranging from twisted ankles to
cleat wounds. This past summer
Balance and Tucker attended a
state-wide clinic for high school
trainers. The complex job of try
ing to foresee possible injuries
and treating the actual injuires is
very important. The three trainers
should be congratulated for their
excellent service during the past
football season.
Another vital segment of the
GHS athletic program is the man
agers. This year Ronald Shelton
is serving as the head manager,
with Nathan York acting as his
assistant. It is their difficult task
to handle and distribute the var
ious types of equipment to the
players. Another feature of the
managers’ job is to see that every
piece of equipment is in its right
place at the right time. .The vast
array of sports gegar is amazing,
and Shelton and York perform
their difficult assignment with
great finesse. Equipment handled
by these two boys ranges from hip
pads to jump ropes, weights to
batters’ helmets. The trainers and
managers are a fine example of
real school spirit. Putting in long
hour for little recognition, these
boys are part of a group which
changes GHS from merely a school
to a way of life. By the way, never
call a trainer a manager.
To the sports car enthuiast of
any caliber the Gymkhana held
Saturday, November 10, provided
a common gathering of these for
eign imports. Whether his taste
favors the common Sprite or the
novelty Lotus, there were over
seven hundred different makes
and models parked in the coliseum
area.
Over 100 sports cars entered the
actual competition held on Sun
day. Each car was allowed six
runs around the track with two
of these being timed. If a car
missed a turn, it was required to
back up and try again costing
precious seconds.
The cars were divided into class
es by type and power of the en
gine. The object of this closed
course meet was to make a perfect
run in the lowest possible time.
In order for the car’s time to
count, it was required to come to
a complete stop at the finish of
the course.
Sports Car Associations from
all over N. C. and the South sent
competitors to this race. Several
sports car dealers in the Piedmont
contributed trophys for winners
in respective classes. This race
was an event held in the Greens
boro Auto Show at the Coliseum
by Mr. Bob Kent.
There were several entries from
GHS. Jerry Phillips won first place
in his class in the non-qualifying
race held on Saturday, November
9. Mr. Snyder, Chemistry teacher
here at Grimsley took first prize
in his division Sunday in an MG-A.
Other entries from GHS were Ed
die Edwards, who placed fourth
in his class, driving a Sprite; John
Hill driving an Austin Healy; Mike
Sauer, driving an MG-B; and Jim
my Cook, racing an Alpha Romera.

Sophomores Promising
The cross-country team is very
optimistic about next season be
cause of the promising sophomores
on the team who made a good
showing at the meets.

one junior, and five sophomores.

iors Fred McCall, Tim Hilde-

A boy and his mother stood
looking at a dentist’s showcase.
“If I had to have false teeth,
mother, I’d take that pair,” said
the little boy pointing.
“Hush James,” snapped the
mother quickly, shaking his arm,
“haven’t I told you it’s bad man
ners to pick your teeth in public?”
Student trainers serve as vital part of the G IS athletic program. While taping basketball
players* ankles is only a small part of their job, the trainers keep GHS teams in top phys
ical shape. The large number of special medicines and treatments in the background give
one an idea of the scope of any trainers job.
