Next year Smith Senior High School will be the third Greens
boro high school in the Central 4-A conference. They will pre
sent their major threat in their first year on the baseball dia
mond. They have a strong defensive team and at the present
are workng on their offensive attack. It will be interesting to
watch the body of the school rivalry grow especially if Smith
turns out some strong competitive teams.
The Grimsley Junior Jaycees and Jaycettes are currently
selling tickets to the Greater Greensboro Open to be held from
March 29th through AprH 4th. The tickets are $12.50 for all
seven days. The GGO will have more participants this year
than ever before and will be carried coast to coast on national
television. An added honor will be the participation of former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the tournament itself.
The track, golf, baseball, varsity and Jayvees, and tennis
Whirlie athletic teams have officially opened their 1965 sea
sons. Each of these sports deserve the interest and attend
ance of the entire student body. The baseball and golf teams
are defending state crowns this spring. Coach Dave Murr will
try hlb hand at baseball coaching this season taking Coach
Lewis McCalls place.
Censored Nonsense
BY BUDDY POWELL
I wish students wouldn’t prac
tice in the music building during
the period we have TV history. It
,keeps the whole class awake.
How does the Key Club get
away with not having an advisor?
Some of our Seniors are taking
their college days to go to some
rather wierd colleges eh Root,
Lawrence, and Snipes.
The boys in the orchestra have
volunteered to paint shirts on
the murals in the auditorium;
however I don’t think this mod
esty is necessary.
We want a CONVENTION! ! !
Can we have one if we promise
not to get gross?
The Civinettes who wash the
black boards have been missing
two spots on the board in room
301.
In family life we have made
up a list of interesting things to
do on a date. Here are a few
choice suggestions:
Visit the emergency room at
the hospital
Disect fetal pigs
Learn braille
Weave baskets out of bull rush
es
Look up dirty words in the
dictionary
Drop frogs from the Jefferson
Building (also a game)
Students Over Flu,
Spring Fever Hits
“Spring has sprung” and it
looked as though Grimsley teens
were springing all records set
in the past. What records? Just
that phase of the year when win
ter gives way to spring and stu
dents STOP being absent from
school.
The usual practice in previous
years has been to give up the
colds, flu bugs, and sore throats
and dig into the spring semester,
then affected with “spring fever,”
but they are here.
So what happened this year?
The first weeks of March brought
empty desks, office absentee lists
five pages long, and, from those
students present, the chorus of
sneezing, coughing, and the rus
tle of kleenex.
This was the year the flu bug
hit late and the cold germ ex
tended its visit. Rumors that near
ly 300 students were absent
spread over the campus. And the
clinic started compiling the long
lists of the “whys,” and “whens”
of all those absent.
Now things are looking up
though. Spring arrived last Sun
day . . . absentee lists are getting
smaller . . . and only the persis
tent spring fever justifies the
■dreamy stares students cast out
the windows.
Of course, there will always
be those who skip the pursuit of
learning a day or two for an ap
pointment in court (driver’s train
ing must be getting pretty tough
for those who insist on throwing
their teacher through the wind
shield at the sight of stop signs;
an upset stomach (at the thought
of the chem test); college en
trance tests (assuming a lot, aren't
they?); or because they are need
ed at home (Herman, the family
seal, needs a playmate).
But to all of you who found
themselvse victims of virus, colds,
etc., etc., etc., WELCOME BACK!
