Advice Concerning The Future Given
“The concern of most working
eople today has been just
nough to get by. Go the extra
die. The best way to think
lK>at the future is to think
bout others.”
These were the main ideas
lat speaker Bradley Faircloth
ift for the students in Grims-
sy’s Co-op program to think
bout alj the Boss’s Banquet,
pril 20.
“Facing the Future” was the
leme for this twenty-third an-
ual event. Mr. Faircloth made
eference to St. Matthew 5 as
le “best incite on how to face
iie future.” He said that the
est way to do this was to think
1 terms of other people and
ow one may benefit them.
According to Jim Betts, one
E the Board of Directors of the
aycees, the business man’s at-
tude, initiative, and imagination
re his most important qualities
1 his work.
Imagination is one of the more
nportant qualities because good
leas make money. A man should
ot be afraid to use these ideas.
“Live by these three business
paits day by day and you will
uild la reputation from your em-
loyer that can’t do anything
ut help you succeed,” advised
Ir. Betts.
Jim Melvin, vice-president of
he loan department at North
Carolina National Bank, stated
hat one word, enthusiasm, may
[escribe a good citizen. If one
reaves them in his life, he’ll
ind things happen to him that
le never thought would happen.
He continued, “Enthusiasm is
hat certain somthing that makes
s great ... It is the keynote
hat makes us sing and makes
len sing with us ... It is the
roiducer of confidence, the in-
piration that makes us wake
p and live.” .
He ended with, “You can’t be
complete person unless you
ive out what your community
ives you. Service to humanity
5 the best work of life.”

Service Clubs Decide;
Valuable Member Chosen
Grimsley’s 13 service clubs
have a total of 70 officers who
are known to almost everyone.
Yet there are 455 other students
in service clubs who go without
recognition.
For this reason, HIGH LIFE
asked all service clubs at Grims-
ley to have their club vote for
a most outstandirig member,
other than an officer. The fol
lowing are the results, from re
sponding clubs, including a state
ment from each president about
their member.
Key Club—Tom Clark
“Tom was chosen as our most
outstanding member, because of
his participation in not only a
few activities, but all of them.
He has devoted many hours to
Key Club, and the club is ap-
preciative.”
Junior Jaycettes—Fran Upchurch
“Fran Upchurch has been
elected the most valuable mem
ber of the Grimsley Junior Jay
cettes. She was awarded this
honor due to her unfailing hard
work and enthusiasm for all club
activities and projects.”
Charioteers—-Lynn Marshall
“Because of her helpful sug
gestions and enthusiastic work,
the Charioteers have chosen
Lynn Marshall as their most
valuable member.”
Junior Exchange—Bill Lindley
“Bill was chosen because he
is a member of the board of con
trol of the club and one of our
hardest workers.”
Seniorettes—^Patty Lauten
“Patty was chosen the most
outstanding member because of
her interests in the different
fields of our service club. She
participates in most of our
drives, helps on school beautiful
workdays, and possesses a great
deal of vital leadership.”
Civitans—Craig Sousa
“Because of his devotion to the
club, Craig was chosen as our
most outstanding member. He
has worked with school beautiful,
on drives, and with any other
projects we have participated in.”
Exchangettes—Beverly Walfe
“Beverly was selected as the
most valuable member of the
Junior Exchangette Club be
cause of her willingness and de
sire to serve in every phase of
our club life and participates in
every one of our projects.”
Junior Jaycees—Neal Craven
“Neal was chosen to be our
most outstanding member by an
almost unanimous vote of the
club. He has been in the club
for three years, and despite his
involvement with other activities,
he has always worked long, hard,
and often for our club.”

Summer Volunteer Work Available
Summertime brings to many
students the opportunity to work
as volunteers in various jobs
offered for those interested in
helping others.
Camp Joy is a summer project
many high school students, both
boys and girls, participate in
every year.
The camp is for mentally re
tarded children. It is the first
of its kind in Greensboro and
one of the first eleven in the
nation. Camp Joy is supported
by the Greensboro Association
for Retarded Children and the
Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Founda
tion.
The children arrive at camp
by bus, and assisted by volun
teers, take part in a flag raising
that starts the day’s activities.
These activities are supervised
by the volunteers and consist of
pointing, craft work, archery,
nature walks, group singing, and
swimming. All the students who
give up their time without com
pensation agree it is well worth
their time.
Another volunteer work deal
ing with the handicapped is tak
ing the children of the Cerebral
Palsy School swimming at the
Y.M.C.A. Volunteers do not have
to have a Life Saving certificate,
but only the ability to swim and
handle a child with confidence.
The swimming enables the
child to get his needed exercise.
The volunteers are each respons
ible for one child. He has to pick
the child up, dress and undress
him, and return the child home
safely.
Candy Stripers work in three
departments of their own choos
ing. Their work consists of de
livering flowers, transporting pa
tients, working in Pediatrics
playing with the children, carry
ing specimens to labs, and ad
mitting and discharging patients.
Just recently, boy pilots began
working in the hospitals. They
do the heavier work that the
Candy Stripers are not able to
do.
The boys are interviewed by
personnel and, if accepted, go
through a six day training course
with the new Candy Stripers.
At the end of their training,
they also pick three departments
they would like to work in.
Junior Gray Ladies is open
to those interested in Nursing
as a career. They do much the
same work as the Candy Stripers
while working close to the pa
tients and aiding them in any
thing they might need.
