StudenI Council
Endorses
Swimming Pooi
On February 5, 1970, the Grims-
ley High School Council passed a
resolution endorsing a swimming
pool-classroom complex on the
campus of this school. After this
resolution was passed, a letter was
drawn up and sent to all the
members of the Greensboro School
Board and the Guilford County
Board of Commissioners. A copy
of this letter was sent to every
parent of a student of Grimsley.
This idea was originated in
1967 when the Greensboro Swim
ming Association offered to donate
$65,000 to help alleviate some of
the expense of construction of
the structure. Nothing was done
about this issue until a deadline
of February 19, 1970 was set down
by GSA. The stipulation of this
donation was that the structure
would be built on Grimsley’s
campus and not on another of the
city’s high school grounds. Two
classrooms are to be built in the
structure to help ease the in
creasingly crowded classroom sit
uation.
The issue has increased in in
tensity with factions, both for
and against, using their influence
in the matter. Letters have been
written to the newspaper and to
city officials expressing the di
vided interests on the issue. The
final decision will be made by
the Greensboro City School Board.

G.Y.C, SERVICE COMMITTEE
SPONSORS MANY PROJECTS
The Service Committee of the
Greensboro Youth Council spon
sors quite a number of projects
which are- heard of only through
service clubs. Among these many
are Tag Days, Project Sharp, Miss
Christmas Seals, Library Book
Collection and G.G.E. (Greater
Greensboro Egg.)
Tag Days are when service clubs
are given a certain area in which
to solicit funds. They occur on
Saturdays and all the money col
lected goes to the drive which
the day is designated for.
Project Sharp is Saturday Hous
ing Area Renewal Project. It is
when service clubs go to recrea
tion centers about once a month
to work with underprivileged chil
dren. They teach them games and
organize activities such as arts
and crafts for these underprivi
leged children. Each year in Sep
tember a workshop is given for
the service clubs on how to plan
and prepare these activities.
The Miss Christmas Seal Con
test is organized to raise money
for the Tuberculosis Campaign. It
begins with candidates being nomi
nated for the honor. Then there
is a series of dances in local
community centers with the pro
ceeds going to the T.B. Campaign.
The girl who becomes Miss Christ
mas Seal is the one who receives
the most penny votes. (The boxes
are set up in local area banks).
She' is then honored at a tea.
Library Book Collection is co
sponsored by the service com
mittee and the Jaycees. They pick
up these books on one of their
paper drives. They are then taken
to the Public Library where they
are sorted, inally they are dis-
tribbuted through Project Sharp.^
The Greater Greensboro Egg^
will be coming up around Easter.
It is where admission is charged
to an Easter egg hunt at which
valuable prizes can be won. 'The
Money collected is then given to
the Easter Seal Campaign.
