rapid source of information for
any questions arising in their
minds about the school. All stu
dents are urged to cooperate by
sending questions to the staff by
either handing them to Miss
Lovett in room 410, or to any
member of the news staff. Ques
tions should be confined to topics
concerning some facet of the
school or school life. This week,
several people were asked if they
had any questions or suggestions
about GHS that they were unclear
on. We hope these examples will
give you an idea about the types
of questions we are looking for.
CHOIR CONCERT
Grimsley’s choir will present an
assembly of Christmas music on
Friday, December 19 during the
first and second periods. The
Madrigals will also sing several
numbers.
Among the songs the choir will

associate director. Miss Polly
Teague is the accompanist.
There will also be a speaker for
the assembly. ,
Q; What and -when is College
Day and who is it for?
A: College Days occur twice a
year. Juniors and seniors may go
and visit a school at which they
intend to apply. College Days can
be taken in the middle of October
and the middle of-May. One must
write to the college or university
to obtain an appointment with the
admissions office. Dean Stanton
must also be notified in order to
certify the absence as excused.
Contact your guidance counselor
for more information.
Q: Is any student at Grimsley
allowed to contribute articles to
HIGH LIFE?
A: Definitely. The HIGH LIFE
staff encourages students to con
tribute articles or editorials for
publication. As HIGH LIFE is a
newspaper for the students, they
are urged to participate in and
support it activities. Writers can
remain anonymous or have their
names printed with their works.
Please feel free to submit any
articles to Miss Lovett In room
410, or to any member of the
HIGH LIFE staff.
Q: Will the Juniors get back
the results of their last year’s
SCAT tests? If so, when?
A; Results of last year’s SCAT
tests have been available at the
guidance office since January.
They are still available for any
one who wishes to pick them up.
See your guidance counselor and
she will help you analyze the
grading system.
We hope that the student re
sponse will be enough to get this
new column off the ground. Many
students, especially sophomores,
have hnanswered questions about
the school. Let us know, and
we’ll do our best to answer them
for you, quickly and concisely.
Thank you.
Again this year the Greensboro
Youth Council will sponsor a
tenage night at the Barn Dinner
Theater, December 29. The play
to be presented will be the Odd
Couple.
The comedy play, which was a
movie starring Walter Matteau
and Jack Lemmon, is under the
direction of Taylor Greene, a
resident of Greensboro. Oscar,
the sloppy reporter, is being play
ed by DeWitt McCarley and the
neat tidy man will be played by
Jack Knight. Poker players will
be Walter McNeil, Jim Palmer,
Woody Edwards and Frederick
Smith. The Pigeon sisters will be
portrayed by Judy LeDuc and
Cindy Huffling.
The play begins when Felix’s
wife throws him out of the house
for his crazy habits. Oscar invites
him to live with him not knowing
what he was getting into. One of
the rituals is a Friday night
poker game which is held at Os
car’s apartment. Instead of the
usual slum the poker players find
that Felix has turned Oscar’s
apartment into an imaculate place.
Every time they make any mess
Felix is right there cleaning up.
Seeing things are not working out
too well, Oscar suggests that they
go out and date. They take out
the Pigeon sistesr who live up
stairs. After Felix absolutely
ruins everything for Oscar he is
thrown out of Oscar’s house. Later
Felix returns and they start over
again.
The dinner will be served at the
Barn Theater at 6:45. It is one
especially provided for the holi
day season. Entertainment will be
provided from 7:45 to 8:15 and
the play will begin at 8:15. The
price is $3.00 per person on a
first come, first serve basis. Res
ervations should be made by De
cember the 24th. When confirmed,
one will receive a card in the
mail which should be presented to
the hostess when entering the
Barn on the 29th. A maximum of
300 people can be taken. Contact
the Greensboro' Youth Council for
more information and for making
reservations.
spirit here at Grimsley. To ac
complish this, let us try to have
harmony and peaceful co-existence
with your fellow students and
maybe even some of the teachers.
During this season, let us try
not to give the teachers a hard
time. No longer shall we make up
flimsy excuses for not having
homework. If you don’t have your
homework, make up a decent ex
cuse, one a teacher can really
swallow. Also, let us not break
into fits of uncontrollable laugh
ter and yell out smart remarks
while Mr. Glenn is giving an
nouncements. When the P.A. sys
tem goes, “(click) Glunka-glunka-
glunka”, let us whisper our smart
remarks and sustain our laughter
until the completion of the an
nouncements. Let us make this
last week, “Be kind to Sopho
mores Week”. Let’s face it, they
cannot overcome this physical
handicap knovra as “Sophomore”.
Remember you were a sophomore
once, maybe not as bad as these,
but nevertheless you were once a
S.O.P. Also be especially kind to
the following teachers, .
They need all the help they can
get.
Do all these things to promote
peace in Grimsley, good will to
ward men, women, boys, girls,
dogs, cats, teachers and sopho
mores.

Chrlsfmas Program
On Tuesday, December 16, the
JCL had its annual Christmas.pro

We Kept Our Word
HIGH LIFE has kept its word!
When this school year started,
we promised the student body an
improved newspaper. The general
opinion around school is that
HIGH LIFE has definitely done
so. We promised an in depth arti
cle on drugs and we gave that to
our readers. We promised a semi
weekly Whirlie Words column of
student opinions and we have
done this. The propiised movie
and record reviews have also ap
peared. HIGH LIFE will be the
first to admit, though, that we
still have room for improvement.
Any suggestions will be considered
by the staff. It has been suggested
that we have a column similar to
“Hot Line” in the GREENSBORO
RECORD. This appears for the
first time in this issue. We empha
size that any student who wishes
to do so may write for this news
paper. We welcome the addition.
HIGH LIFE has attempted to im
prove itself this year and we
hope the student body has thus
far enjoyed the paper.
In this issue of HIGH LIFE is
a music review of 1969. The staff
has done a lot of hard work on
this copy of HIGH LIFE and are
glad to have it completed. We
think it is our best paper so far
this year. All of the music articles
are factpal and written with no
bias toward a single artist. Much
of the information came from
music trade magazines. Extra
copies of this issue are available
in the HIGH LIFE room.
Page Senior Wins
Miss Christmas Seal
This year’s Miss Christmas Seal
is Jacky Reilly, a Page senior. She
was chosen from among five girls
representing the high schools in
the Greensboro area. There were
two representatives from Dudley
and one each from Grimsley,
Page, and Smith.
Girls from the four high schools
wishing to participate in the con
test filled out their own nomina
tions. The representatives from
Grimsley, Page, and Smith were
chosen from their school’s nomi
nees by the student body. Stu
dents voted by putting money into
a box for their candidate. The
girl with the most money won.
Money received from the voting
went to the Christmas Seal Cam
paign.
The two Dudley representatives
were chosen by ballot voting. The
voting was done during two
dances held at the Warnersville
and Windsor Community Centers.
On November 26, a Miss Christ
mas Seal tea was held at the
alumni house at UNC-G. Present
besides the five girls, were vari
ous Greensboro businessmen, Clara
Martin, and several people from
WBIG. Also present was Mr. C P
Brown, head of the Christmas Seal
Campaign.
The girls were given points on
their answers to a serious and a
humorous question. The amount
of money each girl received dur
ing the voting at her school gain
ed her a few points also. The
girl with the most points won.
Barbara Holt, a Smith senior, was
runner-up.
Gary Clemmons represented
GHS in the contest.
