You will thus dis cover the real meaning of the phrase ‘experiment in interna tional living.’ ” Karen plans to leave for Fin land on Tuesday, June 20.

Spring Elections Begin; Two Candidates Unopposed Grimsley campaigns for the 1967 Spring Elections were begun in assembly Tuesday, April 11. A total of 144 juniors and sen iors are seeking an office. Out of this number, only a possible 48 students may be selected by the student body to hold offices. Susan Odenwald, Student Coun cil Elections chairman, explained the reason for the assembly. “It’s your chance to see all those who are running.” Candidates for next year’s Jun ior Class officers were then in troduced. Nine students will rep resent the students in the Junior Youth Council and the Junior Student Council. Eight students, will be elected on the Senior Youth Council and the Senior Student Council. At the beginning, Curtis Weaver president of the student body, urged more student participation in the upcoming elections. Despite this fact, there are still two offices in which the candi dates are running unopposed. These are the offices of 'Traffic Chief and president of the Senior Class. Only Student Council and Youth Council members from the Senior Class attended this assembly with the underclassmen. The survey showed that 615 boys worked sometime during the year as compared with 580 girls who worked. It also indicated that of these students the Sophomore Class had the most students work ing. Althouarh the Sophomore Class secured the most jobs, the Senior Class made the most money, earn ing approximately $189,000. 'The Junior Class was next, receivin.g approximately $148,000. The Soph omore Class earned approximately $98,000. Contributing to the factor that the sophomores had more jobs, there were a total of 23 sopho more homerooms surveyed in com parison to 17 junior homerooms and 15 senior homeroom.s. Grimsley boys earned approxi mately twice as much money as Grimsley girls. The males re ceived about $323,000 whereas the females received about $114,000. The survey showed that stu dents at Grimsley spend the greatest part of their earnings for clothes, school, expenses, record players and records, gasoline, car and motor cycle payments, dating, and just generally having a good time. Much of this would fall into the categories of wise spending (even investing) but some “just disappeared with nothing to show for it,” as one student described his spending. Some unusual comments about how their earnings were used were: “I don’t spend money, I save it;” “At Least 50 per-cent of my wages went into the bank for college;” “I buy wrecked cars;” “I am buying, government bonds;” “Most of my money paid for a trip to Nassau;” “I bought my girl an engagement ring;” and “I am saving to buy my own busi ness.” The classes also participated in the survey sponsored hy General Foods, Co., to determine the in terests and habits of teenagers Greensboro was chosen as one of two cities in the United States to take part in the survey.
