Page Pour High Life March 1, 1965 “Which one shall I nab? Ouuuu, he looks cute! Forget It. Barbara Nance, Mary Nelle Smith, and Penny Armistead, juniors, and Mildred Davis, senior, look out for prospects for Twerp Day. Male Society Thrives On March 12 As Females Slave For Masters BY PAULA MAIN It’s a man’s world, or at least on Twirp Day, March 12, when the male society takes over the females slaves! No, this isn’t India, Pakistan, Arabia, or Israel, but a city named Greensboro at the renowned school of Grimsley. Twirp Day, an old custom at GHS, gives the girls a chance to see how the other half lives, or rather works. The boys enjoy the luxury of having their every wish obeyed. A stranger, especially a man, walking down the halls of GHS might think the world was saved, for look who is carrying all those books, “a girl!’* Laden with her lover’s hook in addition to her own, the twirpie garely makes it to her class. Here twirpies find more duties. Pencils need to be sharpened, at which the twirps are very effici ent in supplying, paper needs to be borrowed, homework consulted. Book of Matches Transplants Yankee To Tar Heel BY SUE BILUMAN From Yankee to Tar Heel and all because of a matchbook! Thus John Sackett, senior at Grimsley High School, was transplanted from Skeneateles, a town in up per-state New Year near Syracuse, to Greensboro. The story goes like this: In August, 1964 John came south “just for the trip” with Bruce Fritch who is a student at Oak Bidge, a military academy outside of Greensboro, and has friends in Greensboro. One night the boys went to a party. In the course of a conversation with one of the girls, John pulled a match- mook from his pocket imprinted with the name of a funeral home where he had previously worked. The girl looked at the match book and said, “My dad is a fu neral director, why don’t you see him about working here?” Things were not quite as simple as this, for there was no opening at the funeral home and John returned back to the North with Bruce. However, the idea of coming back to Greensboro was never lost; in fact John decided to come back, e had never liked the ago nies of the classroom with unin teresting assignments, and “dull” teachers. Yet he knew that an edu cation was vital if he wanted to fulfill his hopes of becoming a funeral director and not disap point his father who was a guid ance counselor. Greensboro had good schools he had been told. Why not come back, enroll in one of the high schools and get a job in another funeral home? John’s father “FEATURING BEST MUSICAL BRAND NAMES” MOORE MUSK (0. 615 W. Market St, Phone BR 4-4636 agreed to this plan, and soon John and Bruce were heading for North Carolina with a loaded station wagon. Before the fall semester, the boys had found an apartment and John had registered at Grimsley. He has enrolled in the D.E. pro gram this ye^r and is on a two- year program with Lambeth- Troxler funeral home. “I like Grimsley very well. I find the students friendly and the teachers interesting,” John ex pressed. John’s most interesting subject this year is English. His favorite hobbies are cars and water skiing. To make a long story short, John is gradually be coming a Tar Heel although he does still find it hard to under stand the Southern dialect at times. and the windows raised or low ered. The pitch of events comes that night when at 8:00 p.m. the girl rings the doorbell and calls for her date. Of course, she waits while he powders his nose for fifteen minutes and finally they are off to the big Dog Patch Dance. Clad in cut-off dunarees and moon-hats, while the girls give flow'ers to their dates, the twirps and trirpies dance to their hearts content. At last the clock strikes 11:00 and they must be off for John ny’s mother said he must be in before 11:30. They get home but Johnny won’t get out of the car. Oh, Susie gets out and opens the door for him. What a night! I’m glad I’m not a boy! THE BOAR AND CASTLE Greensboro’s Most Popular Sandwich Shop Spacious Parking Ground West Market Street Ext.

For the past three years, the William Randolph Hearst Foun dation of California, in conjunc tion with the U.S. Senate has sponsored the Senate Youth Pro gram. This program is designed to acquaint students with the in ner workings of the Federal gov ernment. There were two repre sentatives from each state, chos en either by a test prepared by the American Political Science Association or by holding an of fice in the State Student Council Congress. We stayed at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington which in previous weeks had been the sight of one of the Presidential inau gural balls. Our first day started with an introduction to the Su preme Court by Arthur Goldberg. He discussed with us the impli cations of the Civil Rights bill and payer in school. Quite candid ly, he expressed his own opinions on democracy and justice in the courts today. The balance of the afternoon was spent at the state depart ment where we were addressed by Averell Harriman on U.S. foreign policy. Aid to the U.A.R. was a prime topic with Mr. Harriman because on the following day the Senate was to vote on this bill. Tuesday, all hundred of us spent the entire day serving as interns in our respective Sena tors’ offices. It was on this day that I had lunch with Bob and Ted Kennedy. I was eating lunch in the Senate lunchroom when both of the Kennedys’ walked in. They recognized my Senate Youth badge and asked if they could join me for lunch. Well, to say the least, it was a fascinating hour and a half! They are both charming and have marvelous senses of humor. The remainder of the day I spent working in Senator Ervins office, having com pleted my work in Senator Jor dan’s office. Wednesday was our big day! We attended a luncheon at the White House with President and Mrs. Johnson. Both were most gracious. I found the President to be an animated person, full of wit and humor. After lunch, he addressed us on “Youth—Ameri ca’s Hope”. On Friday, we had perhaps our finest speaker, Sargent Shriver, head of the Peace Corps. Never have I met a man who had more enthusiasm than Mr. Shriver. He outlined the basic points of both the Peace Corps and the Anti- Poverty Program. He singled out Greensboros Dr. Otis Singletary for recognition as a vital man in his Job Care program. All in all, it was a week I’ll never forget. What impressed me most was that the top people of our government were willing to take their time to come and speak with us. They all tried to impress upon us that our generation must have faith and trust for in a few years—the government will be in our hands.
