Greensboro Young
Out To Save Zoo
People
Many young people in Greens
boro are concerned about the
problems of the mistreated ani
mals in our “zoo.” The Youth
Representative of , the Save the
Zoo Committee, Candy Caldwell,
and many other concerned high
school students are doing some
thing about them. Volunteers are
and will be soliciting funds and
sponsoring money-raising cam
paigns all around Greensboro. The
downtown shopping centers will
be the centers of GYC and high
school service club sponsored
money-raising drives in the next
few weeks.
A few days ago a display was
set up downtown by a local man
for the Save the Zoo Committee.
It was a collection of life-like
plaster animals in cages represent
ing the present “zoo.” Page stu
dents and members of the Pep
Committee collected donations
which were put in toward the
goal of $270,000 needed to build
the new zoo.
. GYC is planning a festival at
the park in the coming weeks to
raise more money to meet the
monumental goal. The Save the
Zoo Committee had also been
: planning a festival, but that will
be postponed until after the GYC
festival is held. The zoo as it
stands now is sorely in need of
repair. No, not repair—abolish
ment! The poor, desolute inhabi
tants do nothing but pace from
: one end of their tiny, dirty, ce
ment-floored cages to the other,
longing for the freedom that they
! once enjoyed.
The new zoo will provide large
i areas of grass for each of the
i animals, and a stream will flow
through the area. An island in
the stream will be reserved for
monkeys, and will have no wire
for cage at all. The monkeys are
free to roam all over the limits
of the island, providing as much
freedom as possible.
The site of the new zoo is the'
area where the • old rides were
torn down. When the building is
completed, the landscaping will
include trees, ground cover, and
a barn for smaller children to
pet tame animals. Volunteers will
soon be offering projects for par
ticipants here at Grimsiey. It is
up to us to be a part of these
projects, in order to do our part'
to save the zoo. PLEASE HELP!
At the present time, the Jaycees
are soliciting funds from small
businesses by letters sent on Sat
urday. They will follow this up
by visiting these businesses later
on. The Sertoma Club will soon
be sponsoring a “walk-a-mile”
campaign in which people and
businesses will pledge an amount
of money for each mile a certain
selected person (hopefully the
mayor) walks in a certain day.
It is expected to be held in March,
and announcements will be given
in advance in the schools. Mrs.
Harriet Zauber is soliciting funds
from larger businesses and indus
tries. Since the adults of the
Gate City are doing so much to
save the zoo, the youth can work
just as hard for so worthy a
cause. Already, volunteers from
GYC built a float for the Christ
mas Parade which won second
prize ($10.00). It may not seem
like much money, but at least
they’re doing their best. But what
about the majority of us at Grims
iey who aren’t directly involved
in this affair. Surprisingly enough,
the success of the program lies
with us. The Save the Zoo Com
mittee cannot raise $270,000 by
themselves. It is up to us to
provide participation and dona
tions to provide a decent place
for these virtually imprisoned an
imals to live.
Anyone interested in saving the
zoo can contact Candy Caldwell
at the Greensboro Youth Council
office.
Grimsiey High School is once
again competing this year in the
Greensboro Youth Council’s High
I.Q. Bowl on Feb. 21, 1970 in

the basis of the G. E. College
Bowl. There are rounds of twenty
minutes in which each team tries
to amass the most points. There
are ten point toss-up questions in
which they have ten seconds to
answer. Bonus questions worth
ten to thirty points are asked to
the team winning the toss-up.
The questions are compiled by
a national testing service and
local colleges. They are geared
for local high school seniors.
Questions are in the areas of
mathematics, science, English, so
cial studies, geography, current
events and humanities. Each round
is relatively the same in diffi
culty.
High I. Q. Bowl is a second

Survey To Be Made
Some students from the schools
in Greensboro have established a
committee which will compile sta
tistics and information on the
effectiveness of student councils.
The committee is working on a
survey which will ask students of
different high schools their feel
ings about their student councils.
Some of the questions which
might be asked, are how the
council members are elected, do
they represent the student body,
does the council take a political
stand on issues, etc.
The committee plans to distrib
ute the survey to a wide variety
of schools. Schools which will
take the survey will be picked;
according to size, integration, ec
onomically, and the location,
whether its city or rural.
V The survey should be out some
time in May. Then, after the sta
tistic and information has been
gathered, a pamphlet will be-
made which will show the infor
mation gathered from the survey.
The committee comes under the
TASK FORCE, which is headed
by the State Department to get
a better understanding of prob
lems in the high school. The Task
Force has alloted the students a
budget in which to work in.
Congratulations to
Mr. & Mrs. Canady
