There’s something in the air
at Greensboro Grimsley High
School. That has been the chant
for the past week or so as unex
plained occurrences abounded
around the campus. “There’s
something in the air” shouted one
frantic, bleary - eyed sophomore.
'‘Thank goodness it’s still not the
something coming from in front of
the boys’ gym rejoined a laugh-
happy senior in an air of self
dedication. The senior was of
course speaking about the over
night appearance, seemingly from
nowhere, of the many brown
mountains of “smelly dirt” in
which all of the local gardeners
believe is contained the power to
grow virtual “stalks” of beautiful
green grass leaving, no room what
soever for unfortunate water pud
dles as has been the case in the
past. (However, as of yet there
have not sprouted any blaides of
grass therefore, as a precaution
ary measure 35 gallons of green
paint have been put on reserve,
to paint the “smelly dirt” should
anything go wrong.)
Back on the Okeefenokee front!
Now there is only a maze of Junior
Civitan concrete, with hardly a
place anywhere where one might
splash water upon his clothes or

his tassels. The concrete walks
are now solid, and as dry as they
will ever be, and all the Civitan
initial guards have retired from
the scene. The Junior Civitan Club
did not recognize the gold mine
that they had in their “wet” walk.
A smart service club would have
capitalized on such an investment
and sold plots to Grimsley lovers
for hearts with initials, love notes,
and other such “tom foolery.” At
two bucks a square inch someone
could have really “cleaned up,”
and paid for the walk in the pro
cess.
The GHS student parking lot is
still making plans in anticipation
of the predicted population explo
sion. Recently, scientific guessers
set the new standing, pavement
date at 1970, which will make it
nice seeing that the U.S. will put
a man on the moon in that year
giving GHS students two things to
be happy about at one time.
Now we are hearing teenage
disc-jockey shows on radio station
WCOG in the afternoons. Hunter
George, a brave lad from Notre
Dame High School in Greensboro
was one of the first to give it a
“go”, and he proved he had a
knack for speaking. Adding hu
mor to the radio program he open
ed his show casually with “Hi,
I’m Hunter George, from Notre
Dame High School. Stick around
now because I’ll be playing all
the latest news for you, records
and weather too, till 5 p.m.” Later
on in the show he was still in high
gear. “The time now is 4:11.” Bob
Robin then helped out with “and
the temperature?” “Oh, yes,” said
Hunter, “variable cloudiness, to
day, tonight, and tomorrow with
the possibility of some thunder
showers, the temperature now is
70 degrees.”
In the world of folk music we
still have our own, renowned
critic, Mr. John Gaddy, who holds
the potential to pop in on practi
cally any unsuspecting hootenanny
in this area to make sure no one
will get away with, “poor” talent
to the public.
In closing we are reminded that
not every senior can be in class
day, someone has to be in the
audience.

GHS Teacher Madlin
Co-Authors Latin Book
In the Science Building, on the
first floor, in room number six,
in a grey steel drawer hides a
large October-sky-blue book bear
ing the title Progress Test for
LATIN for Americans — Second
Book. The first pages of the book
announce the publishers—the Mac
Millan Company—and the authors.
One is B. L. Ullman, Kenan Pro
fessor of, Classics Emeritus at the
University of North Carolina. The
other is Mary B. Madlin. the head
of the Latin Department at Grims
ley High School in Greensboro.
North Carolina.
Dr. Ullman has been writing
textbooks since 1929. His books
are used all over the country, and
now this Progress Test handbook,
the first ever originated for his
second year book, will serve as its
traveling companion.
Obviously, as his own companion
in authoring the handbook. Dr.
Ullman has chosen his long-time
friend, Grimsley’s Mrs. Mary
Madlin. He knew her through Jun
ior Classical League work, the
state testing program in Latin at
the University of North Carolina,
and membership in the Latin sec
tion of the state curriculum com
mittee on foreign languages.
When Mrs. Madlin opened the
request letter, she was surprised
and gratified. She needn’t have
hesitated; her classical background
is formidable. She assimilated in
high school four years of Latin
and three of Fench, which was
“all you could get.” In college she
majored in Latin, minored in
French and English, and took two
years of SpaJiish! After graduate
work at Syracuse University, she

began teaching: five years in New
York, fifteen years at Greensboro
Senior High School, two years at
Grimsley. At one time French
and English were her subjects,
but Latin is still her special pet.
For approximately a year and
a half Mrs. Madlin and Dr. Ull
man met frequently at Chapel Hill
iu conference on the content of
the manuscript, although Dr. Ull
man did take a few months off
now and then to fly to the Eter
nal City. When asked how many
woman-hours she had spent on the
project, Mrs. Madlin replied, “All
I know is that it was a lot!” She
explains that the whole thing is
done with a fine-tooth comb. The
writers send the company the
manuscript. The company sends
the writers the galley-proof. The
writers send the company the
approved galley-proof. The com
pany sends the writers the un
bound, unpolished form. The writ
ers check and send the company
the form.
Dr. Ullman composed the com
prehension. derivative, and word
study sections. Those students who
knash their teeth over the vocab
ulary, syntax, and Roman civili
zation quizzes should save their
water balloons for Mrs. Madlinl
Some fiendish consolation might
be derived from her statement
that “They are more or less the
type of tests I give to my own
classes.”
Mrs. Madlin says that even the
thrill of signing a contract with
MacMillan and Company doesn’t
match her pleasure in working
with Dr. Ullman. He is such a
scholar that association with him
in itself was an honor and a
privilege. He s wonderful as a
person too. Her whole association
with him during that period was
simply “invaluable, satisfying,
gratifying.”
