and Sarah Ward. They worked in
one of the following departments;

ing, Personnel, Plant, Public Re

Banquet Given
After working all day, a ban
quet was given in honor of theso
students where they were award
ed certificates for working from
each department head.
Terry P. Morgan, general per
sonnel manager from Charlotte,
N. C., was the speaker for th(»
banquet. He explained what he
thought the goals of life should
be. Mr; Morgan stated that curi-
ousity was an important goal
Asking questions should be done
more often so that a person will
know what he is doing.
“To be thorough” was the see
ond goal for a person to strive to
achieve. Mr. Morgan stated, “Do
whatever job you do well.” Pa.y-
ing attention to details is an in»-
portant part of this, for a person
should dig into his job and find
out what it is.
Continue To Learn
The continuance of learning
was explained as an aspect of
life which presents many oppor
tunities to be nourished. A person
should acquaint himself with peo
ple who know different things
and have different ideas. Mr. Mor
gan said. “Stretching your brain”
is the key to knowledge.

Books Collected, Sent
To Soldiers Overseas
Grimsley’s Student Council col
lected paperback books and sent
them to Viet Nam for distribu
tion to American soldiers as the
Christmas project for this year.
Collection of the books took
place November 8-11 in a box set
up at the desk in the main hall.
Friday afternoon the books were
taken to the Greensboro Red
Cross for shipment.
Rebecca White was in charge of
the collection. Allison Albright,
Billy Hall, Mark Morris, and Sue
Wyatt were also members of the
informal committee which orga
nized and ran the project.
Goal for the three-day project
was 500 books. Eight hundred and
three was the total, the most
books being brought in by stu
dents on Friday. The figures were
as follows; Wednesday, 83 books;
Thursday, 175 books; and Friday,
545 books.
Send Something To Soldiers
The idea first arose when some
one suggested that the council do
something for “our boys in Viet
Nam”. The council’s first idea
was sending Christmas cards, but
later a desire to do “more than
that” prompted Rebecca’s consul
tation with Mrs. Campbell, youth
director of the Red Cross in
Greensboro.
From the large list given to
them by Mrs. Campbell, the stu
dent council narrowed their proj
ect down to one thing to avoid
confusion and to aid collection.
“We thought if it were a long
list, students would either not
bring anything or bring things
not on the list. Everybody has
paperback books,” Rebecca stated.
Cost Stated
Mrs. Campbell also told the
council how much it would cost
to mail the books. They were
shipped by the Red Cross for the
student council and will be dis
tributed by them in Viet Nam.
