Page Two HIGH LIFE ^Feb. 19, 1968 Guys, Gals Return To Old Ways As Twirp Leaves For Year As WC. iO out- ^CAVTAlt^ CMOL 5 ^waKei^cdL sc Mud CKploSf^N Last Friday was the big day! The gals finally had their chance to hook their favorite guy. TWIRP was the day when both the guys and the gals found out how they stood with their favorite “part ner.” If the girl was turned down, then she learned (the hard way) that her romance was not meant to be. On the other hand if the boy was not asked for a date, then his ego was knocked down a couple of notches! He realized that he was not the only “Mr. Wonderful.” TWIRP let the girls know what it was like to take the initiative to ask a person out for a date, and also to experience the cost of a night on the town. The boys finally re- ahzed what it was like to have to sit impatiently hoping to be asked out for a date. But for once they could enjoy themselves without having to worry about the expense. Friday at GHS girls slaved for guys as they opened heavy green doors, carried stacks of books, helped the boys over mud puddles, and picked up any object that they accidently dropped. Even the traf fic squad members had their day of rest from their strenuous jobs. The girls moved traffic along speed ily by their shouts of encourage ment to “move on.” The annual Sweetheart Court was chosen as baby pictures of boys were placed in the main hall where TWIRP king was to be selected. Each vote cast was designated by a penny. Now that the annual TWIRP event is over and the routine of Letters To The Edi Dear Editor: I would like to comment on an incident that occured at the GHS- Page game Wednesday, February 7. This was the fact that some of our students made up and chanted their own cheers. Now I have noth ing against school spirit. In fact, Fm all for it. But when it comes to yelling “Go to hell Page” and “Go to hell ref” then that’s where the school spirit should stop . . . if you can even call that school spirit. I realize that no one meant this seriously but did anyone hear Page yelling “Go to hell Grimsley!” I didn’t. What has happened to our ideals of good sportsmanship? I think that some of our students should take another look at what school spirit should be. Carol Groover Class of ’70 Dear Editor: Whirlpool wants YOU! This year Grimsley is having a literary magazine, WHIRLPOOL. For it to be a true success it needs your support. WHIRLPOOL vsdll be on sale soon at the price of 50 cents apiece, but for us to have a good magazine we need your subscrip tions. It is a tough job to direct a magazine but the help of the stu dent body with their subscriptions makes it easier. Other high schools across the state. Page included, have been very successful with their literary magazines. So let it never be said that Grimsley is ever less than the best. Students, subscribe to WHIRLPOOL and let’s show the state the literary abilities of our high school. Grimsley lifje has returned, the girls are faced with their old prob lems again—sitting around waiting for “him” to call. The guys have to work again to pay for their nightly flings. Everyone should cheer up, though, because there will always be a TWIRP *69 when the fellows and gals again change places for one delightful day. Many Careers Offered In Institutions Today By Milton S. Eisenhower President, The Johns Hopkins University A university is a small scale mod el of our society, and within our 2000 institutions of higher learning there are a multitude of career opportunities. The professors and researchers are the heart of the university, charged with its traditional mis sion of discovering and dissemi nating knowledge. Because the uni versity has become the crossroads of our modem society—educating millions of students and providing this knowledge for progress in every area of endeavor—the need for teachers and researchers in creases every day. The road to a teaching career is a rigorous one, and only those with an insatiable curiosity, a con cern for young people, and a dedi cation to scholarship should set out on it. The rewards of a teach ing career, however, are unmatched to any other profession. And more important is the unique freedom and the rich intellectual and cul tural offering that you will find on the lively and exciting campus. As the teaching and research functions in higher education have expanded dramatically in recent years, so has the administrative function. The university needs an administrative staff to serve the academicians. It must have admis sions officers, counselors, placement directors, writers, accountants, busi nessmen, fund raisers, technicians. CONCERT TO BE GIVEN FOR MARCH OF DIMES Sharon Rhoades Business Manager Whirlpool The youth of Greensboro have gathered together and have decid ed to bring a concert to Greens boro Sunday afternoon, February 25, for the purpose of raising mon ey for the March of Dimes. All pror ceeds will be given to this organiza tion. The Tams, the Drifters, Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, and the Showmen will present the concert at the Greensboro Coliseum. Be cause the program is for a good cause, everyone should make an effort to be there. Tickets are only $2, 2.50 and $3. This program will give everyone a chance to make a contribution to the March of Dimes. It’s the youth of Greensboro working, there fore the youth should do their small but important part of support ing the project. Because radio station WCOG, Greensboro youth, and others have worked hard to bring these talented groups to Greensboro, the entire coliseum should be filled with cheerful, enthusiastic, young peo ple. It’s your way of saying that the teen-agers do care. The teens can really help the March of Dimes this way, so everyone be sure to mark the calendar and make plans to be at the coliseum Sunday after noon at 2:30, February 25. secretaries and many other spec ialists. An administrative career offers many of the advantages of the teacher’s career: the campus atmos phere, the freedom, the involvement in a social institution that is vital to the progress and survival of our way of life. To prepare for a career in uni versity teaching or research, you must study. Whatever your particu lar interest, you must become a specialist in it. This means going beyond the bachelor’s degree, then to the master’s degree, then to the doctorate, and perhaps even to post doctorate study. Nor can you stop there, for a teaching career re quires a lifetime of study. , An administrative Career also re quires specialization. Your experts in business, or journalism, or per sonnel work must be accompanied by an expert in higher education itself. Second he (s off jlke. flash ■io-ihe. scene of -the cn'me.-..

According to figures taken during the 1964-1965 school year, approximately 500 classes of phys ics were being taught in high schools throughout the state. This was an increase in study of 48 per cent from a poll taken in 1951. Only 20 per cent of students in the twelfth grade have been en rolled in physics classes. This is really poor when today science and discovery are becoming more and more important to our nation. How ever, North Carolina rates favor ably with the number of physics classes when compared nationally. Thus, the whole country’s youth are suffering from lack of higher studies. A major problem directed with the physics classroom, as the maga zine stated, is that the teachers are not qualified to teach the course. Many (65 per cent) had no physics other than the first year course. During the last 10 years of their teaching, 38 per cent of the teach ers had not had a refresher course in physics. This problem may be mitigated only if more students be gin studying physics, thus in creasing the demand for teachers. When more teachers are in de mand perhaps their educational qualifications will be stiffened in stead of letting them be cast aside. It has been suggested that physics be discontinued if qualified teach ers cannot fulfill positions. How ever in answer to this, a traveling teacher of high educational stand ard could be used in one area having several schools. Since most schools have only one class of phys ics, the teacher could teach at sev eral schools. This would decrease the number of needed teachers. Reforms such as the use of sum mer school, educational television, and filmed courses could help strengthen the physics course. If careers in physics were encouraged for more students, this would broaden ideas. Another solution is raising sala ries of teachers who engage in the more critical areas such as physics. The magazine article ended stress ing that most definitely physics must be made more attractive to both the student and teacher in the future.
