Mistake In Counting of Ballots Found;
Huttic Kent Not To Be Our May Queen
Due to the inability of many Student Council members to count and due to the tragic results
>f such abnormality, there was an error in the totaling of votes for May Queen. Nancy Hutton
Kent will NOT be Queen of the May.
Instead Steve Cumbie will crown pretty petite, green-eyed Uttle M^s Maureen Chiquita
Karunba. (“Mau,” “Chi,” or “Kar” for short. She also likes “Umba Baby .
Miss Mau a transfer student from Plow and Pliar Industrial School in Coalisblackboro, W^t
Virginia, lists many beauty achievements. At the age of ten, she went to her first party; she
was THE belle of the ball.
Beach Week-End Banned;
Parents To Go Instead
Nope, sorry. There will be no Beach Week-end in May, nor
will any trips to the beach be allowed until school is out, be
cause of the recent ruling of the Greensboro School Board.
Several reasons were given for the edict. First of all, this
year the second week-end in May is going to be Parents’ Beach
Week-end. All parents are urged by the city fathers to journey
to OD and Myrtle of South Carolina and see what it is that
attracts their prodigy there every year.
(It was her party and no one
else came, and she looked like a
cracked, bell.)
At age twelve, her school had
a School Beautiful Contest; thanks
to Chi’s help, her school won the
award of “Most Improved Cam
pus”. (Chi was absent the day of
the judging.) Upon her arrival at
GHS as a unior at the age of 29,
she immediately made the foot
ball team.
Kar, who measures 43” 57” 51”
48” (there’s so much of her, that
she comes in fours), released the
following statement to the press:
“See, see. Look, look. I am Umba
Baby, Queen of the Jungle. Sorry
Hut, some of us have it and some
of us don’t. Now I will be Queen
of the May, if I may in May.”
Challenged a reporter, “You
mean if you can.”
“I mean if I may.”
“If you can, you can in May.”
“If I may, I may be Queen of
the Can.”
Huttie Kent released her state
ment of concession. “Well, I didn’t
think it would ever happen. The
student body didn’t fall for my
bleached hair. Well, I won’t be
false about everything from now
on.”
Miss Karumba has announced
that her little nieces, Mary Fran
ces Yow, and Sophia Toompas,
and her little cousin, Kirk Crump-
ler will be her flower girls and
crown bearer.
Judy Ellstrom of YCCA, speak
ing for youth of the city, says
that this is okay with Greensboro
students.
“We like to go to the seashore
in May,” states Ellstrom, “for
its benefits for our health. The
sun, wind, water, and sand are so
wonderful. Moms and Dads. Why,
last year, just while I collected
shells all day Saturday, my sin
uses were ctired, even though I
spent both Friday and Saturday
night in an air-conditioned
watching TV.”

Defeated Kent Assails Queen Karrumba
E.-A. And C.J.(.
Unveil Rustproof,
Flourescent Tree
by Stuart George
As autumn leaves settled in a
lush carpet of gold and brown,
the elite members of the Ever-
Acting and Changing Junior Civ-
iky Service Club were meeting
to discuss a project for the com-
in year. The President called the
meeting to order. “Shut up.’’
Then the treasurer gave the fi
nancial report. “We owe $3 to the
refreshment committee.” After
two hours of hot debate over pro
posed projects, someone got a
great idea. “Hey, I’ve got a great
idea!”
All winter long the boys work
ed diligently selling pencils, can
dy, and ribbons. In all, the club
collected $598.99. Another meet
ing of the community - minded
Ever-Acting and Changing Junior
Civiky Service Club was held as
March winds began to blow. The
President called the meeting to
order, “Shut up,” and the treas
urer gave the financial report,
“We got $598.99.” The debate
ran hot and thick over what to
do with the money they had so
diligently collected. “What should
we do with the money we col
lected?” they asked their presi
dent. “I dunno, what do ya’ll
want to do with it?” Finally
someone came up with another
great idea. “Hey, I’ve got another

The idea was that the school-

Huttie Kent, just informed that she is not to be May Queen, flails her fists while trying
not to cry. Don’t judge Miss Karrumba too hastily just because her undershirt is showing
and she looks sorta sloppy. She has just come from Soccer practice. Because of a mistake
found in the counting of ballots, Chiquita will be crowned May Queen instead of Huttie.
She has announced that her little nephew, Kirk Krumpler will be crown bearer, and her
cousins Mary Frances Yow and Sophia Toompas, will be flower girls.

No Prom To Be At GHS This Year;
Threats of Bombs In Gym That Night
For the first time in many years, Grimsley will not have the junior-senior prom to close out
the social season. “Before everyone gets all excited and riled up, I would like to explain the
reasons for the omission of the events,” said junior class president, Jim Blackwood.
First, there have been a series of threats stating that if the prom was held, a bomb would
be planted in the gym.
“This, of course, would not ordinarily matter,” reasons Blackwood, “except that everyone
will have on good clothes that night. If it were just a sloppy old openhouse, it would be okay.
Besides the rentals would lose a lot of money if their tuxs were not returned.
Another reason is that there is . , tt j j
Dirty Your Hand, had predicteo
that monsoons will emerge from
all rainforests in Greensboro and
spread over the city, thus pre
venting all transportation.
IS that there is
a shortage of formats on sale in
that popular color, Chartruse
plaid. Nobody, of course, would
want a formal in any other color.
The reason for the lack of char
truse plaid formats is that the
yukamucka berry,., from. which
chartruse plaid dye is obtained,
is found only in Waalawaalahaala
County of the state of Shuchig-
zooknxa in the Belgium Congo.
Recently there was a famine
among the Waalawaalahaalians,
and all they had to eat was yuk-
mucka berry pie. Thus, no yuka
mucka berries.
A third reason is that there
is expelted to be a sharp derline
in attendance at the prom because
of the announcement that “The
Shifters” will play.
Fourth reason for the striking
of the prom from the calendar is
that the N.C. State Spelling Bee
is that same night. GHS will be
entering many people, with its
high hopes set on David Hill,
Tommy Holyfield, and Pete Skal-
chunes, in the boys’ division, and
Bussie McGill, Becky Amend, and
Elaine Bradshaw in the girls’ di
vision.
A fifth reason is that Madame

Defending Beach Week-end,
Elaine Bradshaw said, “It helps
us to get to know each other real
well. Often at school we don’t
have time to even speak. The
week-end is so nice for improving
relations. Everyone feels so close,
you know.”
Anyway, a second reason as to
why Whirlies cannot have any
beach week-ends till June 10. is
that places of accommodation are
under-going improvements These
include the “Raindrop Inn.” “Ma
Platts”, “Lydia GuUedge’s Romns
for Young Men”, and “The Little
Pink House’”, places which we
find it hard to believe need im
provements.
Another reason for the banning
of beach week-end is also associ
ated with the problem of accom
modations. The jails are getting
their spring cleaning and can take
no people. This is where many
spend the night every year, and
they would be out of a place to
stay.

Student Lounge Burns;
All Pool Tables Go Too
Every Grimsley student was
happy at first when he heard the
repeated clanging of th ebeU, sig
nifying a fire drill, on Wednes
day, March 23. Thus, one can
imagine their elation when the
fire engines drew up, and they
knew that it was the real thing.
Band members fervently pray
ed that it would be the mu.sic
building on fire, because Mr.
Hazleman was asleep in his office.
Many hoped that it was the
Main Building aflame. Then the
library would be destroyed, GHS
could get a new one, and no one
would have to vote for the bond
issue.
Some thought that perhaps the
cafeteria was burning. However,
if this were to be true, no one
could tell, because right before
lunch earlier in the day, it smelt
ed like something was burning.
Of course, no one knew for
sure that it was a fire. Perhaps,
it was a bomb scare. A rumor
started that someone had put a
bomb in our fallout shelter.
However, it was a fire, and
when Whirlies saw which build
ing was on fire, there were at
once shrieks of lamentation and
grief. NO! Not the beloved stu
dent lounge!
What is GHS to do without its
student lounge? That wonderful
place where seniors go at break
and where they stone sophomores
trying to enter. That wonderful
place where juniors are allowed
to stand outside the doors and
look inside.
Our student lounge with the
gleaming linoleum floor and pan
eled, sound proof walls. What
shall the boys do without their
pool tables over in one comer
and slot machines in another?
Each of us shall miss the beauti
ful, comfortable modern furniture.
We shall especially miss the
snack bar with hamburgers, hot-
dog:s, every kind of sandwich,
favorite beverages, ice cream, and
everything else. Gone also are
those TV’s on which we watched
Captain Kangeroo early in the
morning. Yes, the student lounge
was great. How can GHS go on
without it?
