Grimsiey Celebrates Homecoming Big
With Displays, Pep Rally, Game, Dance
Homecoming came to Grimsiey and every Whirlie made a day of it as festivities began
early in the morning and lasted through late that night.
Various club members rose with the sun at 5:45 that morning in order to get their school
spirit displays set up on the GHS front lawn. These displays were ready for the public to view
at 8:00.
Charioteers swept display honors for the second straight year with their Whirlibird “stew
ing a victory ...” with various Whirlie grid opponents as ingredients in a big black pot.
First runner-ups were the Civinettes. They had four different Whirlibirds dressed in for
eign attire.
First runner-ups were the Jun
ior Jaycettes, who, with their
parade to school at 7:30, attracted
publicity for Homecoming from
newspapers and radio stations.
The Jaycettes’ float was a house
on which was perched a stork
holding a football in a diaper.
The theme was “We’re Expecting
Victory.’’
Tihr runner-ups were the O’
Henry Juniors. Their float was
a huge football field, complete
with yardmarkers, goal posts, and
both Whirlie and Smith Eagle
players. It was very obvious that
the Whirlies were whipping the
Nest builders. A large Ban bot
tle brought out the theme,
“Whirlies take the Worry out of
Being Defeated.”
ORIGINALITY
Other displays also showed
creativity. Mary Nelle Smith,
YRC Chairman, stated that she
“. . . certainly thought the floats
contributed so very much to rous
ing school spirit for the very
special day . . .”
Later in the day, the cheer
leaders held a pep rally in the
Gym. A big trophy was given
to the display winner. Then a
mock Homecoming Court was pre
sented to the student body.
GAME, QUEEN, COURT
Football was the next event
to mark the day. The Whirlies
presented a 21-0 rout over Smith
to 1965-66 Homecoming Queen
Dee Dee Zane, escorted by John
McNairy, and crowned by Stu
dent Body President Steve Cum-
bie. Becky Ball, escorted by Steve
Sparrow, was Maid of Honor.
Bry Richardson, 1964-65 Home
coming Queen, escorted by last
year’s Student Body Vice Presi
dent, Bret English, was present
for the crowning of the new
queen. The old and new queens,
maid of honor, and other girls on
the Court circled the field in an
impressive parade of new con
vertibles.
This year’s Homecoming came
to a close with a dance featuring
Chester Mayfield and the Casuals.
Steve Cumgie crowns Dee Dee Zane as 1965-66 Homecom
ing queen amid all the half-time excitement at the GHS-
Smith game.
Sadie Hawkins Day To Be
Held At GHS For First Time
Students! November 19 is not
just an ordinary Friday night. It
is the big night! Sadie Hawkins

ment of forgetting today’s wor
ries and pressures and becoming

billies!
Beginning at eight o’clock, the
lucky ones (who beat the seven,
ty-five cent ticket ritsh) Will
dance through the doors of the

GHS Tops In Total
For Youths-of-Month
Steve Cumbie, Grimsley’s Stu
dent Body President received the
Youth of the Month Award for
October.
This is the second time this
school year that a GHS student
has been chosen for the monthly
honor. Only two sets of youths
of the months have been selected
so far.
In the last school year, 1964-
1965, more students were picked
from Grimsiey than from any
other school for Youths of the
Month.
For the past two years, Whirl
ies have also been chosen for
Youths of the Year. Senior Class
President of 1963-1964 and Dave
Grimes, 1964-1965 Student Body
President, were selected for the
big annual honor

school for Youth of the Month
and the winners are chosen by
a committee composed from the
Greensboro Parks and Recreation
Department.
Randall Williams, co-president
of Notre Dame High School, was
Girl of the Month for October.
Grimbley*s Judy Eflstrom was
Girl of the Month in September.
Whirlies Become Top Executives
In Junior Business Companies
“First of all, a lot of business experience is. gained. Also,
working with other people will bring about a sense of talent
for the work that a future businessman will need,” says Ken
McArthur, executive secretary of a Junior Achievement Com
pany.
Junior Achievement Clubs give students a chance to learn
about the business world on a smaller scale because the stu^-
dents themselves organize and operate their own business.

at the dance. So, boys, watch out!
The girls are really going to be
after you, because a card dance
it will be, with the ladies asking
the gents at the ringing of a
bell. Eeryone come stag, and then,
girls, you’ll grab your beau!
A talented combo will be anx
ious to play popular hit tunes
and during the break the Stu
dent Council will entertain with
a genuine square dance..
So if you’re tired of the modern
trend and are willing to live like
the country folks for a while,
come to Sadie Hawkins’ Friday
night activities. You’ll be glad
you did!
The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance
and festivities will be postponed
if the Whirlies participate in the
football play-offs. At press time
the Whirlie gridders had only to
beat Winston - Salem Reynolds
High School in order to rank
third in the Central Conference.

WHIRLIES TAKE OFFICES
One company manufactures tell-
adress, which is an illuminated
sign for house numbers that is
put in the yard. Jim Klauber is
the president of this company.
Paper towel racks are made by
the company in which Margaret
Parker is the assistant secretary-
treasurer.
Duke Power Company buys
the surveying stakes sold by the
company in which Ken McArthur
is the corporate secretary.
“1 didn’t know anything about
buying in business and this has
helped me to learn,” says Liz
Morrah, who is now the purchas
ing agent for her company. Paper
towel holders are her company’s
project.
When asked why he joined a
Junior Achievement club, Steve
Cowhig replied, “I had no special
reason. I just liked the assembly
we had on it.” Steve’s company
manufactures paper towel holders.
They are paid 20 cents an hour.
Money made on stock sales
from all the companies is depos
ited in the Lacklen Bank and
Trust Company.
“It is a lot of responsibility,”
remarked Monty Recoulley. Mon
ty’s company makes foam rubber
throw pillows.
The main advisors for the Jun
ior Achievement Clubs are Dun
can Stevens, Jim Melvin, and
Jack R. Markley, local business
men.
Each company rents a room for
about a month. Necessary ma
chinery, equipment, and furniture
are also leased.
BIG-TIME BUSINESS MEETINGS
A typical meeting of a com
pany begins at 7 p.m. with a
business discussion. Then the of
ficers leave to fill out reports
and do any other things neces
sary. The rest of the members
work on production.
Meetings for the individual
companies are scheduled once a
week for two hours.
Grimsiey has obviously come
to throw its full support behind
the Junior Achievement program.
Many Whirlies belong to the var
ious companies. Moreover, many
GHS students hold important of
fices and shoulder big responsi
bilities on which the success of
their business depends.
Write Musical Works
Grimsley’s Music Department
has, for many years, been recog
nized nationally for its talent and
ability. Recently it has been able
to claim still another honor, as
the departments faculty has be
gun to write music.
This summer. Miss Martha Leo
nard, director of the GHS Sym
phony Orchestra, had an offer
for her Orchestration of a Con-
certo for String Bass by Cappuzzi
for a New York publishnig firm.
Two years ago the concetto was
not available for Grimsley’s An
nual Concerto night, so Miss Leo
nard sat down and wrote her own
arrangement of it. Now her ar
rangement is available for other
orchestras.
Mr. Louis Labella, bass spe
cialist for Greensboro and Grims
ley’s Orchestra, writes jazz music
for bands. Mr. Labella was very
modest when he said, “Most of
the time it isn’t very good, so I
tear it up and burn it.” Various
orchestras in Greensboro have
played Labella works.
In the past three years, Mr.
Herbert Hazelman, GHS band di
rector, has written and had pub
lished five pieces. The major one
was Trilogy for Four Days in
November, 1963, a musical tri
bute to John F. Kennedy.
