Jaycees Build Patio
For Front Campus
Grimsley’s Jr. Jaycees are at
it again! A committee headed
by David Nichols set out to beau
tify the area next to the main
walk on VlTestover Terrace.
In late December the Jaycees
made plans for a patio to occupy
that space. Actual construction
began in mid-April and was com
pleted the last of April.
Approximately two hundred
dollars was spent. This included
the cost of brick, four stone
benches and urns for cigarette
butts. Along with this were
shrubbery, petunias, boxwood,
and Japanese Cherry trees to
add to the landscape.
The Jaycees worked for the
money spent doing various jobs.
All money made at the GGO and
working for a Garden Club in
Hamilton Lakes was spent for
the patio.
Working with David were Dav
id Thompson, senior, Richard
Newby, junior, and Ronnie Mer
rill.
David Thompson state, “We
probably got the idea for the
patio from the grove and the
immediate need for improvement
to that area.”
The Jaycees did this for the
School Beautiful committee and
will receive credit.
Other things planned for this
spring by the Jaycees are the
annual scholarship given by the
Jaycees and the Roger Hobbs
Memorial Trophy.
Jan Petrchn Tours N.Y. City, Capitol;
Interviev/s UN Delegates, Leaders
Jan Petrehn, GHS senior, re
turned recently from an all-ex
pense paid, four-day tour of New
York City and Washington, D.C.
As Grimsley’s first place winner
in the annual American Freedom
Association’s United Nations
speech contest, Jan joined the
Smith and Page High School
winners and 78 other students,
teachers, and chaperones from
tliroughout the 'State for her
trip.
Arriving in New York City late
Sunday evening, April 24, Jan
stayed at the HO'tel Piccadilly
located in the heart of Times
Square. “Monday morning I saw
the United Nations for the first
time. It is just as majestic as I
had dreamed it would be,” she
relates. Upon being addressed
by the UN delegates from Yu
goslavia and India, the group
had the opportunity to interview
the delegates. “We were all in
terested in the Red China ques
tion. Being accustomed to Uncle
Sam’s refusal to recognize the
Chinese Communists, I guess I
was a little surprised by the dele
gates’ sincere desires for Red
China to be admitted to the
United Nations.”
Monday afternoon Jan was
caught up in the whirl of New
York City sights. “We saw every
thing from a Buddhist Temple
in Chinatown to the Manhatten
skyline as seen from the deck
of “Miss Liberty,” the boat which
took us out to the Statue of
Liberty.
“I saw my first Broadway play
Monday night. I’m not sure whe
ther I was dazed more by the
play itself (“Wait a Minim” star
ring seven actors from around
the world) or by the hundreds
of limousines and chauffeurs
which were literally packed into
every inch of the streets there
in the middle of Times Square.”
Following her tour of the
United Nations, she joined the
^oup of contest winners for
lunch in the Delegates Dining
Room.
She then visited the Trustee
ship Council meeting being
staged in one of the council
rooms near the Secretariat.
The busses arrived in Wash
ington, D.C. Tuesday night. “We
were fortunate in that it was a

joyable and the best-attended
concert ever presented at Grims
ley. The Class of ’66 is indeed
proud to sponsor it.”
Talent Show Winner Performs
It will also be the most varied
concert. Hardin Matthews, first
place winner of the Torchlight
Talent Show, will play a very
wild piece on his saxophone.
Marion Scott, voted Most Talent
ed by the senior class, will pre
sent a short, fast piece on the
viola.
Skip Spenser, Most Talented
boy, will sing, “When I Look
Upon the Maiden.” Kathy Lil-
burn. North Carolina All-State
first chair celloist, will be a
soloist and Steve Adair, presi
dent of the symphony Band will
solo on his oboe.
Lari Powell will put aside her
cheerleading long enough to
zoom through a very unusual
piece on her bass, which is rare
ly a solo instrument, and G. H.
Sharp, concert master of the or
chestra, will present a concerto
along with Charleen Pyron.
Kathy Howe will also solo on
the French horn and Chris Ef
land will solo on the flute.
iReception for All Seniors
The reception following will
be very pretty, with candles and
roses upon white linen, and of
course, delicious food.

Clubs Contribute More Service
As School Year Begins To Close
As school draws near the end
of its 1965-1966 year, service
clubs have busied themselves with
taking advantage of the last
chance to contribute to GHS life
before summertime.
Exchangettes built a badly
needed gravel path parallel to
the cement walk running from
the Science Building toward the
halfway point between it and
the Main Building.
Exchangettes also earned a city
wide first place for collecting
the most in the Cancer Drive.
Jaycees recently built a very
attractive patio on the front
campus and also helped the
Greensboro Jaycees with the Car
Rodeo.
Jaycettes Hostesses This Summer
In April, Jaycettes presented
picture frames to the art de
partment. These will be used for
student pictures to be hung in
the main hall.
At the end of April, Jaycettes
