Gray Ladles* Presented
Editor Note: This is the account of the scheduled program
for last Tuesdaifs second period assembly. A last minute
caricellation was made after this article hd been sent t0 the
printer*s. As an attempt to reschedule the program was not
successful, this article is offered as a substitute for recog-
nition to this group of students which the capping ceremony
would have granted.
On March 10, at a second period assembly, a little known
service group was presented to the GHS student body. Four
teen students of Grimsley completed a course last January
which enables them to serve as Red Cross Gray Ladies at Wes
ley Long Hospital. The ten hour training course will be fol
lowed by a twelve hour in-hospital training period.
Mrs. Charles M. Rives, Jr., who is on the Gray Lady Com
mittee which is headed by Mrs.
James A. Know, brought it to
the attention of Mrs. Mary
Tom Hoffler, who heads
Grimsley’s High School Red Cross
chapter, that big “Capping” cere
monies were not held for the vol
unteers. They decided that an as
sembly program would be a good
opportunity to recognize these stu
dents who have devoted so much
time to the community.

supervisor in charge of the hospi
tal training. Also participating on
the staff are A. O. Smith, hospital

Rives, vice chairman of Gray

small scraps of paper on the
end of a straw will not be
played again this year; how
ever, they demonstarte the way
which this night will be conducted.
Clubs To Compete
The competitors yill come from
the various service clubs at school,
but any group with twelve students
may enter any of the relays. Stu
dents who come to watch may form
a group and enter themselves in
the contests. Each club will be
urged to have as many members
as possible at the Co-Rec night
since the success of the evening
will depend largely on the turnout.
Mrs. Lambert hopes that every stu
dent will attend this infbrmal
event and, if he does not wish to
compete, wll cheer for those others
who will be in the games
Points will be given the winning
boy and girl service club which
will be added to the record kept
to determine the best two service
clubs in the field of intermural
sports at the end of the school year.
An individual boy and girl winner
will also be chosen at the Co-Rec
nght on the basis of the number
of points obtained by each con
testant.
Hootennany To Be Held
Two other ma.1or events will also
be planned for the Co-Rec night.
The first will be a hootenanny
•in which each service club will
have an entry. Although it is not
yet definite, the committee now
plans to ask a few other school
groups to assist in presenting the
hootenanny.
The second special event yill be
just for the boys of service clubs.
In this event the students will
compete in a sport called “cage
ball.” Some ten or twelve stulents
on each team will line up on the
court and attempt to bounce a
thirty-six-inch ball from one end
of the court to the other.
When Mrs. Lambert was asked
for her estimation of the success
of this Co-Rec night, she was
quoted as saying, “We hope that
the students will find as much en
joyment in participating in this
year’s event as they seemed to
have had in last year’s.”
members are: Bob
Albright- Betsy Bourne, Carol
Bowen, Larry Dempsey, Fran-
cie Ferguson, Charlanne
Fields, David Grimes, Mary Jane
Kellett, Janet Turner, and Cyn
thia Wharton. Miss Sara Mims,
GHS English teacher, was made
an honorary member.
The Torchlight services began
with Dee Vaughan and Joan Wil
liams giving the devotions. Fol
lowing the devotions, Ann Jamie
son, President of Torchlight here
at Grimsley, presided over the
candle light ceremony, while Fred
McCall, Sara Ann Lynch, Ann
Phillips, and Edward McLean
spoke on scholarship, leadership,
service, and character. These are
the four standard requirements
necessary to have in becoming a
Torchlight member. While the mu
sic of “Ava Maria” was being
played, the present Torchlight
members went into the audience
and tapped their future successors.
A new way of choosing the mem
bers was used for the first time
in this tapping. By law, it is now
required that all Torchlight mem
bers are to be voted on by the
teachers. In this way, ones of
deserving character will be a.s-
sured of b^ing chosen.

March 21, 36 JCL members will
go to the state JCL convention
on the campus of the University

be Mrs. Mary Madlin, advisor ol
Grimsley chapter of JCL, and
Cynthia Wharton, state-secretary.
At the convention Cynthia will
be responsible for the roll call
and will read the minutes of the

ICANS series used by GHS, will
