VOLUME XLII GRIMSLEY SENIOR HIGH, GREENSBORO, N. C., MARCH 20, 1967 NUMBER 19
N.C. Conference On World Affairs
Attended By 12 GHS Students
Twelve Grimsley students at
tended the North Carolina Con
ference on World Affairs Thurs
day, March' 9, with their history
ciass.
The students were Lynn Fer
guson, Ronnie Gallimore, Sherry
Haber, Lyn Labell, Aileen Ponder,
John Perry, Mike Ramont, Sarah
Ruffing, Jimmy Thomas, Roger
Tripp, Tanya Ward, and Vince
Yegge. They met at the Univer
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill (UNC.CH) and listened to
talks from three speakers.
Dr. Dorothy Hutchinson, chair
man of the International Execu
tive Committee of the Women’s
League for Peace and Freedom,
discussed for her main topic
“World Community Without World
Citizenship.’’ The doctor explain
ed that countries of the world
should unite and work together
but not under one common govern
ment.
At the present, the United Na
tions goes into a country and
stops the fighting, but the U. N.
forces may be there for years.
Dr. Hutchinson suggested that
there should be a set time for the
troops to stay in a country and
if the dispute had not been set
tled, the forces should return to
the U.N.
There, both sides of the argu
ment should listen to each other.
If this idea did not work, arbi
tration should be used. She con
cluded saying “It’s too early for
ivorld government but too late to
3o anything else.”
Ten percent of the gross na-
ional product of the United
states is used for defense. This
itatement was explained by Mr.
Seymour Melman, Professor of
industrial and Managgement En-
jineering at Columbia University.
Uso for defense, two-thirds of all
;echnicians and researchers are
ised. These were two main ideas
vhich he explained as he dis-
;ussed “Our Depleted Society.”
“The greatest threat to peace
ind safety in the world today is
Imerican military colossus built
ip around the world to take the
dace of the British supply life-
ine,” remarked Wayne Morse, a
senator from Oregon.
he summarized that the main
problem since World War II was
that we didn’t follow President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s plan at
the Tehran Conference. At this
conference, the President warmed
that France would lose Indo
china. He suggested that a trust
eeship be set up for that part
of the world, but no one listened.
Senator Morse continued that
John Poster Duties was the man
who began making foreign agree
ments and then asking for the
permi^ion of Congress. The U.
S. also violated Geneva accords by
entering Viet Nam.
Mr. Jay M. Arena, a history
teacher at GHS, accompanied the
students to Chapel Hill.
Great Decistons Program
Discussed In Town Crier
“The Town Crier,” a bi-monthly
paper published by the Parks and
Recreation Department’s Youth
Council for the youth of Greens
boro, recently printed an article
about the Great Decisions pro
gram.
The article explained that the
Great Decisions program was a
discussion program which is spon
sored by the Foreign Policy As
sociation (FPA). In recent weeks,
a weekly discussion has occurred
on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. in
the auditorium of the Greensboro
Public Library.
Among the programs are “Com
munist China and the U.S.”, “In
dia and Pakistan,” “Vietnam.”
“Yugoslavia and Rumania,” “The
Spread of Nuclear Weapons.” and
“New Deal in Chile.”
Further explained in the article
was that the association “takes
no position on any specific issue
of the United States Foreign Pol
icy.” This was in accordance with
the By-law of the FPA. Because
of this, only noted speakers are
asked to speak at the discussions
on specific topics of foreign pol
icy. After each lecture, a discus
sion period occurs and each per-
son is left to form his own opin
ion about the topic.
Anthony Austin from the “New
York Times” will be the speaker
for tonight’s lecture. His topic
is “NATO in Crisis.”
Next Monday, March 27, the
lecture wil be “The War on Hun
ger.” It will be given by Harris
Wofford, a member of the Peace
Corps.
eight lectures will have been pre
sented by next Monday night.
All lectures are free.
Grimsley Student Council
Visits Pirate Council
“It is to see how they carry on
their business and find possible
improvements for our council,”
remarked Sue Wyatt, secretary of
Grimsley, as she explained the
main reason for visiting other
student councils.
Joe Coleman, Rig Dees, Mary
Sue Hamann, David Nickell, John
Perry, Jean Thornley, Curtis
Weaver, and Sue, members of
Grimsley’s student council, watch
ed a Page student council in ac
tion Tuesday, March 7.
After the meeting, the GHS
students were introduced to the
Page Executive Board. Differenc
es about the council were dis
cussed and suggestions were
made.
She added that the main dif
ference between the Pirates’ and
the Whirlies’ councils was that
the Page council meetings were
more formally operated. Another
difference was that their council
was larger because there was a
council member from each home
room.
Visiting other student councils
is an annual event.

annual event, TWIRP, which occurred at GHS Friday, March
10.
The girls in the traffic squad were selected by boys who
are members of the regular squad.

Debaters Win Tournament;
Finals Occur At Page
Monday, March 13, the Grimsley
debating team won the Round Rob
in Championship Tournament in
debating.
The finals of this tournament
occurred at Page High School.
Ronnie Gallimore and Jerry Pin-
sker on the affirmative side and
Jay Pringle and Jimmy Thomas
on the negative side debated for
GHS. The topic which was debat
ed was the proposal of whether
or not the Foreign Policy Pro
gram should be limited to non
military assistance only.
The ^ four schools which were
represented in the final rounds
were GHS, Page, Western Ala
mance, and Williams High School
in Burlington.
The teams debated twice Mon
day morning and once in the
afternoon. Each person on the
affirmative and negative side of
the schools spoke ten minutes. A
brief period was allowed for the
teams to study what had been
said. Speakers were then given
five minutes of talking to com
plete their ideas.
Debaters from GHS also at
tended the North Carolina De
bating Union Conference, Friday
and Saturday, March 10 and 11.
This speech festival, which met
in Winston-Salem at Wake Forest
included plays, debates, and other
oral exercises.
The debating seminar occurred
during the morning Friday and
also Saturday afternoon. College
students, who were the judges,
released the final scores at 3:30
p.m.
One main purpose of the speech
festival was so that students
would have an opportunity to tour
Wake Forest and consider attend
ing college there.
Litterbags Known
Throughout Stale
Recently an article appeared in
the March issue of the “North
Carolina Parent-Teacher Bulle
tin” about the Grimsley litter-
bags.
“Realizing that litter is such
a serious problem, and is danger
ous as well as unsightly, they
(the Greensboro Council of Gar
den Clubs) attacked the problem
through Grimsley High School in
Greensboro by the presentation
of 600 litterbags to students”
The article quoted part of the
message made over the loud
speaker to GHS students as the
bags were presented to the stu
dent body.
It further explained how to
make the bags including the di
mensions and the type of mater
ial needed.
The article ended in urging
more North Carolinian schools
to participate in this beautifica
tion project.
