Page Two HIGH LIFE Painters Begin Healing Sad Dull Look of GHS Recently new members of Grims- ley High School have been added. Yes, four men in little white suits have joined our campus. No they haven’t come to take anyone away, but they have come to take the dirt, the dullness, and sadness of GHS away, replacing it with a look of life! How is this miracle being peformed? Hand strokes of brushes in paint of white, blue, pink, yel low, or green are the predominant healers. What does this mean? It means that for the next year four workers Value Of College Boards Questioned By Many College Boards were taken by seniors Saturday, December 2, and wiU be given continuously through out the year. Dvmng each student’s junior or senior year, he will prob ably be confronted with this ex amination. Many of the students will also inquire, “Why do we have to take them? What good are they?” These are the same questions asked by everyone who is tested- However, now even some college professors are questioning the Col lege Board’s true sl'ignificance. College Boards can do either of two things for a pupil. They can help a student by showing the stu dent’s true capacity even though his grades do not indicate ability. Also the scores can drop down be low a person’s grades and school record, thus harming a person’s chance for entering college. Usual ly it is imperative for a student to make a minimum of 800 on his board scores in order for a small college to accept him. This endang ers a pupil who has relatively good grades but who falls down on the test. Some people have difficulty tak ing an examination like the College Boards. If a person s emotionally upset or under much strain when he takes the test, this can affect his score. The scores from the tests are highly relative and can fluctu ate. Therefore, the value should be questioned. Although there are many pro and con arguments con cerning the subject, the final de cision can only be made by educa tional specialists. will be busily paintSng the waUs and ceilings of Grimsley while the students attend their classes, so for all you clumsy students beware of wet paint! The first floor of the main building may have resembled an obstacle course two weeks ago with the never ending line of jun iors purchasing their rings and the obstructions of the painters used for climbing to reach the ceiling. However, it will continue to be so with the workers’ spotted rug cov ering the floor so that paint will not color any GHS spotless floor. As of yet no accidents have been reported where a student walked pass the painters and found himself covered with paint. Students should remember, though, not to bother the workers and get in their way at any t'me. Also anyone who is allergic to paint should see his doc tor for relief. As time progresses and so do the painters, an extra effort should be put forth by each individual not to prop his feet on the waU or wipe his dirty hands on it, for after the ent%e school is painted, the paint job will have to last a long time. It can only do this with each student’s cooperation. Newly paint ed rooms can help to brighten the looks and atmosphere of the school. With special care perhaps the paint ing can even help GHS win the School Beautiful trophy again. Student Parking Lot Cleared By Students of Service Clubs ■ Dec. 11, ige"! Did you notice something posi> tively different about the Grimsley canipus recently? WeU if you didn’t the big surprise is that the student parking lot was cleaned. Yes, members of aU service clubs gathered Sunday afternoon, Decem ber 3, to sweep the lot and pick up the trash. This project was spon sored by Inter-club Council. A large number of members from the clubs showed up to help with the job. This project began at 1:30 p.m. and continued for a few hours. People were asked to bring brooms to help clear trash and glass. After the paved area was rid of trash, students collected paper on the grass of the same area. Because of the work of these stu dents, the lot will be a safer place in which to drive, for glass will not endanger the existence of tires. If a conscientious effort is put forward by all students, especially those who go out to lunch, then per haps the parking lot can stay look ing neat. If people from lunch would not throw their trash on the ground, but instead used the trash cans, this would eliminate most of the needless paper. Letters To The Edilor Dear Editor: Although it may be against popu lar beUef, the 1967-1968 Key Club is printing a student directory. It is true that they may seem late but if records were checked it could be found that last year’s di rectory was not passed out until m)d-December. It might help if students knew that this year’s directory has in creased 40 pages and an additional 400 copies have been added since last year’s printing. It might also interest students to know that the directory is compiled by the Key Club members and paid for by work done by club members. The Key Club is not obligated to print the directory and could save $1,200 by not doing it or by charging 57 cents each to the stu dents. Some students, who don’t seem to appreciate something free, have made some very threatening remarks. They complain and seem to think that k dding about the di rectory is fun. Were they in the club and had to work for the money it takes to do not only the directory but the free basketball programs, honor code plaques. Pep Band musr ic, and other club projects, then they might not be so quick to com plain. Tom Boone, Class of ’68 Support Basketball Team By Attending All The Games The Whirlies’ basketball season has now begun, and this year’s team needs everyone’s support. Perhaps this wUl be harder than ever before for some this year. Why? Coach Bob Jamieson has explained that due to the large size of student bodies of the different high schools and due to the small capacity of the school gyms, some games will be played in the Greensboro Coli seum. Although this location may not be as convenient to students, they should still support the team and do their best to attend most of the games, if not all of them. With more space, students who want to buy tickets at the last minute will not be deprived of attending the game. Also basketball fans will have more room for moving around and yelling for their team. (If a student stands up to yell in our gym, he will loose his seat.) Another advantage of having the games n the coliseum is that the girls will not be con tinuously slipping as they attempt to climb the bleachers. Also there will be no danger of the girls dropping their coats, gloves, or pocketbooks on that far-away floor and having to climb between the bleachers ’in order to regain pos sessions. Everyone remember to attend the games and bring their school spirit with them for a successful basketball season. Remember that the job required the help of many students who gave their time and energy in order td help clean th)s area. In the past; although the parking lot was cleaned, a student could not tell it after a few days. Let’s not repeat the past but instead help keep the parking lot clean and ready foi inspection at any time. Dees’ Debris By Rig Dees Scholastic Aptitude Tests, more commonly referred to as “College Boards,” were recently taken by college-bound hopefuls of Gr msley High. A couple of the questions termed as “moderately easy” stih are vivid in my mind*. They are as follows: (1) Two painters are painting a house. The house is on a square lot 326 ft. X 125 ft. The house it self appears to be green, but most people in the neighborhood think it is yellow. If one painter paints at eight strokes a minute what color isi the painter’s hair on the left? (a) 16.532°, (b) yes, (c) all of these.j (d) false. Hint: “The angle of in cidence is equal to the angle of rfr( flection.” (2) embibe: religion. (a) 7.7, (b) 98.6, (c) 69.0 (d)l 87. Hint: embibe: religion. As one can readily see, SAT’s are' quite an experience. On the way to school the other day, I saw an elderly man attempt ing to cut his lawn wfith a pair of scissors. Even though I was running late, I could not resist stopping myi car to observe his odd display of behavior. Finally I asked “Sir, why are you cutting your grass with a pair of scissors?” He simply ren plied, “Thats all. There is no mow-i er.” Activities are moving at a terrif-: fic pace thus far. Basketball season is here, and more open houses are in store for everyone. The parking lot has finally been swept. Jerry Hornig’s sideburns are getting long-^ er. Marc Ingber shaved his mus-^ tache. The student council is think ing about investing a bicycle rack for the sophomores. And I’m gonna drop out of school and become a garbage man.
