An Honest Look At G. H. S.
National Honor Society
By Jim Mobberley
irchlight is perhaps the most
inderstood society on our
pus. Someone is always com-
ling that so-and-so should or
lid not have been tapped.
;e complaints, however, usually
e from persons who simply
t know about how the aelect-
is done. So, I will attempt to
jhten those in the dark,
p untii about 1960, the stu-
;s at Grimsley High School
lys had some part in the vot-
in of Torchlight members,
ever, at the State Convention
lat year, Mrs. Madlin and Miss
IS were informed that this was
irect violation of the national
titution, which permitted no
ent participation whatsoever,
some reference to a popu-
,y contest. Mr. Routh, the
cipal at the time, wrote a let-
to the national headquarters
aining that Grimsley had been
ying students to have voice in
tions for nearly forty years,
reply stated flatly to follow
laws in the national constitu-
or lost the charter. Mr.
th and the faculty, of course,
:ed to follow the laws. Stu-
;s were disappointed by the
ien cut-off, and (naturally)
lly expressed their sentiments.
:pite of the coricrete explana-
some students began refer-
’ to Torchlight as a “Faculty
or Society.” This is still done
ly—there are still some stu-
;s who resent the absence of
ent voice in the election of
abers. This prohibition was
a local affair, but one over
:h the faculty had no control,
even now, nothing can be
e about it. We must follow
onal laws or lose our charter,
ver since 1960, a highly ef-
ive system of selection has
1 in operation. A list of names
dl the students with averages
5.4 or over is drawn up. The
re faculty then votes on those
lents who they feel best fit
requirements of character,
lership, and service. Then,^ a
ilty Advisory Council consist-
of 12 members is chosen by
Mr. Glenn. The four guidance members (as opposed to graduate
- , .v j. +n
counselors and Mrs. Madlin and
Miss Mims are on the council
every year. The other six are ro
tated, but Mr. Glenn tries to get
a cross section of all teaching
areas (i. e., one from vocational,
one from English, one from math,
etc.). These twelve go over each
of the names on the list of 3.4
averages or over, starting with
the ones who receive the most
votes on the faculty ballot. They
consider each person on the basis
of character, leadership, and
service. As the number of active
Summer Employment
Programs Now Being
Set Up
Two summer employment pro
grams for the summer are being'
set up now. Through the combined
efforts of the Chamber of Corn-
members) must be kept down to
a workable level, the council must,
of course, leave some good stu
dents out of the selection. Re
member, though, that the stu
dents with the best qualifications
are selected.
If there is someone who you
think should have been tapped
who was not, he might have had
a 3.3 or 3.2 average, which is just
not acceptable. Also, he might
have been caught cheating, or in
some other private affair. Or, the
greatest posibility, his leadershipj
service, and/or character did not
measure up as well under the
careful eyes of the faculty coun
cil as the selected members.
Another complaint of many is
that the society itself does noth
ing for the school. Well, it isn’t
supposed to! It’s a national so
ciety, not a service club. Once a
year, it holds a talent show to
raise money for scholarships, but
otherwise it is not obligated to

The Christian Folk Music has
a new sound . . . the old message
... in today’s words . . . today’s
spirit . . . the gospel to the “now”
generation that God lives . . . and
loves.
It is a Folk musical about God.
It is a captivating hour and a
half of drama, lighting, staging,
narration, and choral speaking as
weil as choral and solo singing.
The fast tempo and strong beat,
the dramatic and worshipful mo
ments, and swinging melodies and
enchanting harmonies all reach
out to rap the listener in fun and
inspiration. Then it sends you
away humming a new song, pat
ting your foot, and seeking a
close relationship with God.
The “Good News Singers” are
made up of over 200 young peo
ple from churches all over our
city. They represent some 32
churches of different denomina
tions.
This worshipful program will be
presented in the Greensboro War
Memorial Auditorium on April
18 at 8:00 p.m. and April 19 at
2:30 p.m. Tickets are $1.00 for
adults and $.50 for children 1!^
and under. Tickets may be se
cured from any cast member, the
coliseum box office. The Gospel
Book Store, The Calvary Baptist
Church, (275-9062) or by calling
299-6727.
The production is designed to"
give a modern day challenge to
find joy, daring excitement and
a dsmamic life through faith in
the living God. Within a 90 min
ute expression of the gospel, one
is led to find that God is real and
personal and not merely far away
in the heavens. It brings into
view the problems of today such
as the draft, poverty, and drugs
and gives a solution to the count
less problems that groping young
people face, each day.
If\ you are seeking real mean
ing in your life, then come to
the Greensboro Auditorium Sat
urday night or Sunday afternoon
oh April 18 or 19. You won’t he
sorry. In fact, you’ll, come out a
lot better for doing so.
Many Scholarships Being
Offered To Grimsley Students
This is not its purpose.
Finally, the worst complaint of
all. There is quite a bit of criti
cism aimed directly at Mrs. Mad
lin and Miss Mims. Rumors tell
of students polishing the proverb-
Madlin and Miss Mims carry no
more weight (if not less) in the
selection of members than any
other member of the advisory
councii. They do, however, spend
many hours on the stacks of
paperwork that go with the up
keep of a chapter of this society.
This kind of criticism is not only
useless but harmful. The purpose
of the selection of members is to
Criticism of this sort is damaging
to the dignity and integrity of
Torchlight and its members.
If you have a suggestion, check
first to see if it is valid, and if
so, direct it to the entire society.
Several scholarships are being
offered to Grimsley students.
These are Torchlight, Sears, Jun
ior Jaycee, and Key Club Schol
arships.
The Torchiight schoiarship is
for $200. A committee selects a
student from among the appU-
cants to receive this scholarship.
The student chosen to receive
the Junior Jaycee schoiarship is
aiso chosen by committee. The
amount is $300. The Key Club
scholarship is restricted to Senior
Key Club members only. The,
amount is $200.
Sears gives six $200 scholar
ships to Grimsley students. The
principal selects a faculty com
mittee, each member of whom
reads the applications and gives
them rank order. The six students
to receive the scholarship are
chosen by the sum total of their
rank orders.
In addition to these scholar
ships, there are medical scholar
ships offered to just GHS stu
dents. They are given by the
Moses Cone Hospital Auxiliary
and the Wesley Long Community
Hospital Auxiliary. Both are open
to people wishing to enter any
medical field. The Cone scholar
ship is for $250.
The Greensboro Exchange Club
offers two $500 scholarships to
Greensboro students as a whole.
Applications for this and the
above scholarships must be in the
guidance office by April 15th.
Delta Kappa Gamma offers a
scholarship to Greensboro Future
Teachers of America members.
The National Secretaries Associa
tion offer one to any Greensboro
student planning to become a
secretary.
Both the American Business
Women’s Association and the
Piiot Club International give city
wide scholarships to students in
terested in any field.
Collegee and universities gener
ally offer their own scholarships.
At UNC-CH, there are the More-
head, Johnston, and Whitaker
scholarships. At State and Guil
ford. there is the Richardson Fel
lows Scholarship. At DavidsoiL
there is the Baker as well as the-
Richardson Fellows Scholarship.
The Angler B. Duke scholarship
is at Duke and the Hankins, at
Wake Forest.
These scholarships are more
like awards or honors than are-
others. Students are selected tP
receive these on the basis of in
terviews, leadership, character
recommendation, and scholarship.
Need is of less importance with
these scholarships than -with the
purely competitive ones. The
amount, however, of the Angler
B. . Duke Scholarship is deter
mined by need.
At times, companies such as
General Motors, Proctor and Gam
ble, and Westinghouse make
money grants to colleges. The
colleges then award scholarships
on a competitive basis to students
going into a particular field.
To recei-ve a scholarship from a
college, nearly all colleges re
quire that parents fill out a Par
ents’ Confidential Statement. 'This
is a form indicating the family’s
financial status. Based on the
P.C.S. form, The College Schol
arship Service, which issues the
form, then recommends to col
leges where the student seeks
admission, the amount of aid the
student needs in order to attend
each college. This works similarly
to the reporting of SAT scores,.
There is a fee involved.
