.earns About
By Taylor Green
On Saturday night, March 5, 1966, the “DYNAMIC DUO” of interviewers, Paul Allen and my-
elf of W.G.B.G., were on hand at the Greensboro Coliseum with the same ole’ routine questions
nd aquiring always new answers from two “DYNAMIC” personalities in their own rights. Herb
dpert of the Tiajuana Brass and a surprise guest, Jimmy Rodgers. Here now, for the first time
a print anywhere, are a few of those “new answers.”
Q; Herb, how were you able to find the musical formula that has made you into a nation-
dde hit?
HERB: We got the idea back in 1962 while we were watching a bull fight in Tiajuana. We
,rere all intrigued by the sound of the band that was playing in the stands and we got the
lea of fusing two sounds together, that of the traditional Latin beat with American jazz as an
Bdercurrent, thus producng the sound we have today.
Q: Jinuny, how did you begin ,
3oy the singing, which I always
have for as long as I can remem
ber, and then I love being before
an audience and working with
them.

results of the theft were not

picture to Iw necessarily dis^

Interviews Herb Alpert;
World of Popular Bands
Recently, GHS Principal, A. P.
Routh, came upon a profitable
idea which would help to dispel
much of the confusion and be
wilderment of incoming sopho
mores.
For many years, Mr. Routh has
traveled to Central, Kiser, and
Lindley junior highs to talk to
the ninth grade students about
their coming registration and
courses at Grimsley.
However, this year Mr. Routh
invited the freshmen to GHS,
and the Student Council helped
by taking the host role as their
project.
When Mr. Routh did go to the
junior highs, he did not have the
time to tell them of the many
facets of Whirlie campus life.
Thus, the Student Council de
cided to, and did just that, by
having everything fijom honor
rolls to athletics to parking spac
es explained to the young ladies
and gentlemen.
When the junior high students
arrived on campus at 9 a.m. on
Thursday morning, March 3, they
were immediately ushered into
the auditoriiun.
There Steve Cumbie, Student
Council President, welcomed the
Centralians, Kiserians, and Lind-
lyans and introduced the speakers.
Kathy Pearce, voted Most In
tellectual by her senior class,
went first. Kathy spoke to the
audience on scholarship. In her
speech, she emphasized the im
portance of studying, and then
told of some of the privileges,
such as the exemption of exams
and early leave from class, which
are given to those who make the
honor roll.
Grimsley’s librarians were next
on the agenda of speakers. Mrs.
Blakeley and Miss Herring brief
ly explained the operating pro
cedures of and admission to the
library. They said they would
look forward to seeing the ninth
graders in the library next year.
Mrs. Stanton explained that
the Dean’s Office is for tardy
slips and that it also serves as
a clinic. She said she was prob
ably the only person to tell them
that she hoped she would not
see them next year.
Mrs. Lambert explained the re
quired years of physical educa
tion and talked about girls’ vars
ity athletics, intramurals, and
cheerleaders.
Coach Bob Jamieson followed
Mrs. Lambert, and described the
athletic program at GHS and the
many sports which are involved
and the advantages of partici
pation.
Mrs. Moody expressed the guid
ance coimselors’ willingness to
help the students anytime they
could.
Mr. Glenn then told the young
sters how to obtain a parking
space next year, and how to go
out to lunch.
Mr. Whitley next talked about
the school store and how to ob
tain lockers next year.
Mjr. Routh explained Driver
Training and the new Data Pro
cessing registration. He also list
ed the courses available to in
coming sophomores and explain
ed the requirements for gradua
tion.
After these speeches, the fresh
men were dismissed as groups,
with each group asigned to a
member of the Student Council.

Both boys put on a memorable
performance with Jimmy singing
his old best selling hits, “Honey
comb” and “Kisses Sweeter Than
Wine” with some new songs
thrown in. Herb occupied the sec
ond portion and played his hits
like, “The Lonely Bull” and
“Tiajuana Taxi”. Both of them
played before a capacity crowd.
The only complaint of the whole
show was that it wasn’t long
enough.

Symphonic Orchestra on March
24 in the auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
The afternoon before, the Sym
