/outh Week Highlighted
3y Teen-age Carnival
A.gain this year, the Greensboro
uth Council held the Teen-Age
rnival. The Carnival is held
help high school service
lbs from the four city high
lools to raise money for their
ojects the next year. It was
Id out at the K-Mart parking
a switch from the Friendly
opping Center, on Thursday,
iril 24th to Sunday, April 27th.
At the carnival, there booths
nging into all categories — one
aid throw, bowl, smash or crash
5t about anything he wanted,
particular interest seemed to
the booths at which one would
; people with jello, cream fill-
g or even mayonnaise. They at-
icted a lot of attention and
Te quite successful in the
)ney aspect.
Our student council had a good
oth where one would throw an
lount of money and if it landed
a colored area, you would have
jltiplied and returned. It looked
sy, but one soon found out it
IS rather difficult.
There were booths of destruc-
m and skill such as bashing on
car to relieve tension. Throw-
g darts was a very successful
:m. Skill games such as bowling
knocking over a pin were at-
icting people.
The rides which were there
emed to be a big attraction,
ley ranged from a Merry-Go-
lund for the youngsters to a
rris wheel for people who like
go up and down and finally,
the stomach turners.
Clowns and Barkers were high
lool students who volunteered
to help out. They were provided
with costumes and went around
providing people with suckers and
directions.
Altogether GYC put together
another successful carnival. Mon
ey was raised and the area was
provided with a carnival for a
few days this year.
Sophomores are: Jan Westmore
land, Maid of Honor; Pam Wrenn,
and Tisa Curtis.
Undoubtedly, the May Day cere
monies will be completely suc
cessful considering the numbers
of people who have helped and
the hours spent in creating such
a spectacular scenario encompass
ing such a work as The Wizard of
Oz. Though there are too many
people involved in the presenta
tion, both outwardly and covertly,
there are two other characters
who must not be omitted; Nancy
Robertson (Glinda, The Good
Witch) and Carl McNeill, who
plays the taxing role of a Guard
at the Wizard’s palace.
