Jokers Three nightclub here
in Greensboro. They should
prove to be good, and consid-
ering the female vocalists, they
will present a different show than
the usual.
Decoration, in order to blend
with the combo atmosphere, will
be simple but highly effective.
They will consist of silhouettes in
the shape of the different athletes
who participated in school spon
sored athletics. Refreshments will
also be served; and funds for those
will be provided by the Mono
gram Club. Proper dress will be
school clothes. No ties!
Last year the initial dance was
sparsely attended, so let’s show
our appreciation and support this
year’s Coaches Combo.
JCL Students Place
On March 21 at Chapel Hill
two Grimsley students placed in
the state Latin contests being
held David Grimes, a junior, won
second place in the second year
contest on English derivatives. The
fourth year award for second place
in “Roman History and L4fe” con
test went to John Gaddy. (John
is a junior who is presently tak
ing second year Latin.)
These two students were attend
ing the N. C. Junior Classical
League Convention at UNC-CH.
Also attending from GHS were
thirty-four other members includ
ing Cynthia Wharton, state JCL
secretary and Rainer Trebin. Al
though he is not formally a mem
ber of the Junior Classical League,
the GHS chapter was delighted
that he came to “observe.” Mrs.
Madlin, school advisor, and Mrs.
Wilder accompanied the students
to this convention.
Homey Places In Fair
Louise Horney, a junior student of advanced biology at
Grimsley High School, was one of five students who placed

For her project, “Quantitative Soil Anolysis of Field Ecosys-

Spring Dance To Be Held April 17
Friday, April 17, is the date for the annual spring combo sponsored by the Athletic As
sociation. The dance represents the appreciation of the coaching staff for the fine student sup
port and funds supplied by the Athletic Association. The social committee of Student Council
has contracted a 7-piece combo named the Monzas. The Monzas consist of 3 girl vocalists and
four male instrumentalists. This group, though new to this area, has played many successful
engagements, mostly for fraternity houses at UNC. They also come highly recommended by

School Beautiful Activity
Centered Around Clubs
Composed of eleven members, the School Beautiful Com
mittee centered its activity around the projects of the service
clubs.
Each committee member acted as a working advisor to a
particular club to coordinate and outline carefully the various
undertakings. By working so closely with the service clubs the
committee itself was able to work upon a limited budget of
$200, allotting $150 for gravel,
$30 for repairs and chains, and
$20 for photography and the
scrapbook.
Girls’ clubs—the Jaycettes, Sub-
Juniors, O. Henry Juniors, and
Charioteers—took charge of plant
ing boxes in the grove, while the
Exchangettes and Seniorettes
worked in the girls’ athletic field.
Boys’ service groups tackled a
variety of tasks. The Civitans were
responsible for the much-needed
sidewalk through Okefenokee
Swamp, the Key Club constructed
a gravel driveway from the teach
ers’ parking lot to the Science
Building, and the Jaycees under
took spreading dirt and planting
grass in front of the Boys’ Gym.
The Jaycees also agreed to clean
the wooded area along the drive
through the campus. The Exchange
Club has worked on a gravel drive
way near the Cafeteria Building,
Interact has thinned the trees
bordering on Benjamin Parkway,
and the Hi-Y Club has improved
the front of the school. Because
many clubs have spent large sums
on their beautification projects,
several groups have not been able
to contribute to the committee’s
treasury. The Jaycettes, Civinettes,
Key Club, Sub-Juniors, O. Henry
Juniors, and Interact have donated
money to help meet the budget,
however.

Vaughan Wins Scholarship
To Duke University
Dee Vaughn, a senior here at
Grimsley, recently won an Angier
B. Duke Scholarship to Duke Uni
versity.
Dee requested the scholarship
when she applied for admission to
Duke. She received a note saying
that she was a finalist. On March
19 she journey to Durham to stay
on campus Thursday and Friday.
Finalists were invited from all
the districts—from North Carolina,
South Carolina, Virginia and oth
ers. Before their arrival they were
assigned to read “The Two Cul
tures: The Second Look” by C. P.
Snow, and “Art and the Analect”
by Harold Taylor. (While at Duke,
Dee had two opportunities to hear
Dr. Taylor speak.) She attended
a seminar which was divided into
two discussion groups. “The Two
Cultures” was discussed by Dee’s
group. She was given a list of
classes she could attend and cohse
the French and religion classes.
In the French class the well-round
ed professor sported such a mus
tache, spoke such beautiful French,
and looked so exotic that Dee
knew in a moment he must have
come straight from France. She
was disappointed when her
Frenchman turned out to be a
Floridian. The professor in her
religion class talked about the
other professors in the Divinity
School for partcipation in a civil
rights demonstration.

The Greensboro Garden Club
Tour, scheduled for April 15 and
16. will include the GHS grove
on its list of garden spots for
viewing. This to-ur is expected to
bring 10,000 people from various
parts of North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Virginia to the
grove. To meet all of the gard-
ners’ expectations the committee
with the help of the student body
hopes to keep the campus neat
and attractive.
Final Day Held
The final school-wide workday
has been set for April 11. Thirty-
one tons of gravel were spread
and trash in the parking lot was
removed during the Easter holi
days. The April workday will only
involve cleaning and raking the
grove in preparation for the
Greensboro Garden Club Tour.
The committee members are
Betty Ann Benbow, Bob Millikan,
Keith Gulledge, Dave Grimes,
Jimmy Wilkins, Dean Morgan, Lari
Powell, Kathy Pearce, and Tommy
Cannon. Bret English, heading
workdays, and Francie Ferguson,
in charge of planning, act as Co-
chaimen. With Mr. Jessup as fac
ulty advisor, the group works very
closely with Mrs. Joe M. Hunt,
PTSA advisor.

Larry Hannibal Receives
Scholarship From State
Larry Hannibal, ace senior
member of Coach Bob Sawyer’s
1964 Whirlie tankmen, has accept
ed a partial swimming scholarship
to the North Carolina State Uni
versity at Raleigh.
Hannibal, the fastest backstroker
in the state, swam the fastest 100-
yard backstroke of any high school
male student in the history of
North Carolina. He announced his
acceptance of the scholarship
March 23.
In a dual competition meet of
fering plenty of stiff competition,
Hannibal swam the 100 yard back-
stroke even in 59.6 seconds. Then
in the state championship meet at
Wake Forest, he swam in the same
event and was timed at 59.7 sec
onds, just one second lower than
his previous record.
Larry also finished second in
national competition during the
year judged on the times of all
boys between the ages of 15 and
17 who swim in the AAU confer
ence for his time in the 220 yard
baskstroke.

sample to discover its texture,
water-holding capacity organic
content, and pH (acidity). Don
Dalton took photographs of
the fields, and Martha Kistler
drew abstract pictures of them,,
drawings and photographs were
included in Louise’s exhibit.
Louise entered her project in
the Senior Biological Division of
the fair. The five other Science
Fair entries from Grimsley were
also in the field of biology. These
were; “Effects of Colchicine on on
Mitosis in Onion Root Tips” by
Susan Stansbury, “Effects of
Ozone on Paramecium” by Doris
Rouse, “Chemistry of Digestion in
the Paramecium” by Jim Alexiou,
“The Learning Ability of the Ham
ster” by Joanne Rouse and Frank
Beck, and “The Effects of Fluoride
on Pansy Plants” by Anne Smith.
Prizes Awarded
At the district fair prizes were
awarded not on a “first place, sec
ond place, etc,” basis, but judges
chose five projects to “place.”
Louise displayed her project
April 3 and 4 at the state Science
Fair at Duke University with thir
ty-four other entries. Saturday,
Grimsley’s Science and Medical
clubs traveled to Duke to- attend
the Science Fair, as well as the
Health Careers Convention.
Teachers who advised Grimsley
entrants of the district fair in
cluded Mrs. Poer, Mr. Whitely,
and Mrs. Livengood.
Louise found working on her
project “a lot of fun” and “worth
while.” It involved a lot of hard
work, though, too.
