How TWIRP Started Page 4 Go Whirlies Beat Smith Tonight! VOLUME XLIV GRIMSLEY HIGH SCHOOL, GREENSBORO, N. C., 37410 FEBRUARY 11, 1969 NUMBER 11 Valiant G.H,S. Faculty Narrowly Loses To Page S. L O.

Evaluation Made Of Covncfl Pro/ecfs Coach Canady shows his skill at recent Grimsley-Page faculty basketball game. The Grimsley Student Council recently conducted a poll in a handful of homerooms to deter mine how successful four of its projects this year had been. The In spite of its heroic play in is year’s Page-Grimsley faculty sketball game, the Whirlie fac- ty narrowly lost to Page in lat proved to be one of the )st exciting sporting events ■imsley students have seen (or ssed) so far this year. At the irt, the Grimsley team seemed be at a decided disadvantage ainst its crosstown rivals. Hav- g neither the depth on the nch (a total of eight men on e team) nor a large cheering :tion, it looked certain that the hirlies were in for a long hard ght against the much younger rates, The Whirlies, however. !re not so quick to give in and lyed inspiring basketball that pt them in the lead for over ree-quarters of the game. The event is a money-making ojeot co-sponsored by the ■imsley Key Club and Page Henry Juniors. The event, which is held two years ago but drop- d last year for lack of a Page -sponsor, attracted a crowd of er 500 students. The first quarter was extremely )se as the score managed to tter back and fourth between e two teams. At the end of the arter. Grimsley was ahead by e point. 11' to 12. During the :ond quarter, however, the •imsley team began to check e Page team and soon had nuli- to a fairly good lead. Stars of the Grimsley surge ;re coaches. David Murr and idy Canaday. Mr. Murr, who lyed at the high post position d was the tallest man on the urt, brought in many a valua ble rebound as well as making a number of goals. Canaday and Murr were the big guns for the Whirlies as they pulied out in the first half. It was the Whirlie defense, however, that made the big difference. While holding the Page team far from the basket, Heart Fund Tag Day Scheduled The 1969 Heart Fund Tag Day has been scheduled for Saturday, February 15. This announcement was made today by Kathy Gray, GYC Service Committee Chairman and Chairman of the Tag Day. Approximately 30 teen-age clubs will be taking part in the day long fund-drive on city streets. Club members will be soliciting in the downtown area and in all major shopping centers. In return for donations to the Heart Fund, club members will give donors their choice of Heart balioons or Heart tags. Tag Day hours are 10:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Special awards will also be given to the club and the indi vidual who collect the most money. The club award is $25.00 while the individual winner will receive a special gift from the Heart Association. These awards will be made at the GYC office in the Recreation Dept, at the end of the Tag Da.v. and occasionally stealing the ball from their often careless or poor ly-drilled opponents, the Whirlies managed to hold Page down to a few outside shots, while bringing in most of the rebounds. At half time. Grimsley led 30 to 23. During the third quarter Grims ley held at first, but then began to fade. As the game wore on, the speed of the Page team began to tell on the Grimsley five with out the bench support of Page, began to tire. With only seven men seeing any real action, the Grimsley faculty was understand ably exhausted. At the end of the third quarter Grimsley re mained ahead by only four, 39-35. During the fourth quarter. Page scored on a number of successful fast breaks and passed Grimsley at 41-43, halfway in the final quarter. Page continued to pull ahead, but Grimsley gaining a second strength for a moment pulled within three points. It didn’t hold, however, and Page again pulled out against a fight ing, but exhausted Whirlie team. In a valiant clutch effort, Grims ley Coach Robert Glenn took Herbert “Wilt the Stilt” Hazel- man off the bench with only seconds left. Those in the crowd who had been yelling “We want Herb” began to cheer as their stylishly garbed band director dribbled evasily up the court and fired an heroic, all-or-nothing shot from midcourt. The ball, barely missing the backboard, fell into the hands of a Page teacher and the buzzer soon sounded, ending in the defeat of the tried but noble Grimsley faculty team. results of the poll were released to HIGH LIFE and are disclosed below. The first question of the sur vey concerned the work of the Pep Board. Each different area of its work was rated by the stu dents as either very effective, mildly effective, or not effective. According to the results, skits, both at assembly and at Pep rallies, were the most effective of all Pep Board undertakings. Car painting and special pep days were also considered ef fective by most students, while all other area (Banners, An nouncement, Bulletin Boards, and Stadium Decorations) generally received “mildly effective” eval uations. The ballot also urged students to make special sugges tion on the reverse side. The most frequent suggestion made was that the Pep Board should have more skits than they are presently allowed. The second section of the poll dealt with this year’s school char ity drive for project Hope. The questions and results were: “Did you think the ‘Project Hope’ asembly was worthwhile?” Yes—114, No 18. “Do you think that ‘Hope was a good selection for a project?” Yes—147, No 12. “Do you think the method of collecting the money was effic ient?” Yes—51, No 109. The third question dealt with this year’s controversial Home coming. For the first time this year the Homecoming Court was chosen by a special committee instead of the traditional method of having members of the football team sponsor contestants. On the questionnaire students voted 113 to 51 in diapproval of the new method. This decisive “no” vote was accompanied by a number of suggestions in which students complained that the football play ers had not received their share of honors from the event.—63% also felt that the Homecoming as a whole was not a success. The scheduling of Midwintre’s imdeiwent a change this year. The dance usually scheduled for .Tanuary, was held in December. Did you think that December was a better time for the dance TWIRP Dance i February 15lh Well, the time has almost come when the girls trade places with the boys! This year’s annual TWIRP Dance, sponsored by YRC, will be held on Saturday, February 15th. The action will begin at 8:00 p.m. and last until 11:30 p.m. The music will be pro vided by James Crosby & The Meditations. This year’s theme will be Valentine’s Day and the dress will be casual.
