cessfully without the full coopera
tion of the student body,” Ralph
said, and in closing he praised
“the most respected member of
the faculty, Mr. Glenn for his
willingness to discuss student
complaints with any member of
the student body”.
Skip Holt, retiring Pep Board
Chairman, opened his sPeech with
words that he had said twelve
months ago during his campaign
for office: “Running for a school
office is like dancing at a GHS
Open House—no matter which
way you turn you rub somebody
the wrong way.” Although he had
praise for this year’s Pep Board,
Skip regretted the restrictions
placed on the member’s activities.
“We speak so often now of the
failure to communicate between
the two generations. I have felt
any one of a hundred different
emotions this year because I could
not communicate with the faculty
I have tried to do things dif
ferently but I have wanted to
communicate also. It may well
have been my very nature that
has caused' the failure to do so.
And because of my frustration,
my 'disgust, and my complete ex
haustion, I have given up. I am
a good student now—I no longer
make waves.” Skip closed his
speech with the words, “And it
will all have been worth it, if
the efforts I have made shall not
be forgotten—if they have affect
ed at least one of you.”
Treasurer Don DeBragga gave
the year’s financial report, in
cluding the expenses for Home
coming, May Day, and schnol im-
prevement. Don praised the
achievement of Project Hope, and
the fact that for the “first time
in Whirlie history, the Pep chair
man spent less than w.^s 'desig
nated for his use by the Coun
cil.”
Secretary Carol Pleasants then
gave the year-end Council re
port, naming such projects as
Homecoming, elections, the Hon
or Challenge, and the upcoming
student bill boards and book
cases. Carol closed with the wish
“that I had the chance to be on
council nexit year.”
Senior Class President Mark
Morris declared that “this year
has been 'disheartening, enlight
ening, and encouraging, all at
the same time. I have seen that
Grimsley students often do not
really care about the things that
they claim are important to
them.” He did mention certain
people who “have carried a great
deal of the responsibility of the

Wins Scholarship
A year ago March two class
rooms of students gathered to
take the National Merit Scholar
ship qualifying test. When fall
came, 18 Grimsley students were
notified that they had become
National Merit Semi-finalists.
They are: Jane Garvey, Rie Davis,
Cindy Johnson, Marcia Kennedy,
Julie Inman, George Sharp, Sam
Jacobs, Susan Cocklereese, Jo
Tuska, Susan Gibson, Kathy
Shields, Carolyn Tucker, Ben Bul-
len. Bob Jones, David Heinz, Car
olyn Kornegay, Kathryn Jones,
and Jeff Smith. The National
Merit Board reviewed these peo
ple and decided who would be
the finalists to receive scholar
ships. Carolyn Tucker, a senior
at Grimsley, won as scholarship.
There are two types of scholar
ships available to the finalists.
The first is the regular National
Merit Scholarship which is $1,000
for one year at any college chosen
by the student. The second type
is a scholarship sponsored by a
company for various amounts and
is renewable for all four years.
The Merit finalist, however, has
no choice of which scholarship
he or she will receive. This is all
done by a National Merit Board.
