Ed. Note—Partial elections have
been reported at the time of go

contested. The following people
will serve as officers, student
council, and Youth Recreation
Committe members for the year
1970-1971.

dent will be Randy Hudson, the

The election for president and
other executive officers took place
on Friday, April 23. This was the
second vote and was done on vot
ing machines. The second ballot
was needed because of a recount
and check of registration books
called for by Joe Frazer, a candi
date for president. The count
found 157 more ballots than peo
ple registered. Robert Mosely, at
torney for the city school board,
was called and asked about the
legality of the matter. He said
the election on executive board
should be done again because of
the wide discrepancy.
The sophomores will elect their
officers after the first six weeks
of school in the fall term. At that
time they will join the juniors and
seniors who will already be in
student council and Y.R.C.
Seniors Hold Dance As
Money-making Project
The Emphatics made the mu
sic as the seniors here at Grims
ley held a dance on Saturday,
April 25, at the girls’ gym. It
was their main money-making
project for the year.
The senior class has been hav
ing difficulty all year with re
gard to making money. The ever
present ribbons, which usually
succeed in bringing in a large
share of the class’s money didn’t
do as well as expected, so Mr.
Glenn authorized a second project,
the selling of parkas. Several
large shipments of the parkas
were ordered; the first of which
was to be delivered at the school
on December 15 of 1969. When
this first shipment had not ar
rived by March 15th of this year,
it was decided to make a quick
change. Realizing the predicament,
Mr. Glenn promptly authorized
the dance as an alternate project.
The profit from the dance and
other projects will go toward the
class gift for the school, and, as
in years past, the seniors want to
present as best a gift to their
Alma Mater as they can.
There have been quite a few
drawbacks, but hopefully, the
Senior Exams Made
Optional By Dr. House
Ddctor House, superintendent of
Greensboro Public schools, an
nounced at the April 21 school
board meeting that senior final
exams will be optional this year.
This decision came after the
faculties at the four senior high
schools voted for the plan. The
plan makes exams optional to a
senior, instead, group seminars

and other activities will be of
fered during exam time.
The plan was proposed by Fred
dy Robinpon, Grimsley district
director of the Greensboro Youth
Council. It was then, presented
to Doctor House who took it to
the four principals. He then de
cided to let the faculties vote on
whether or not to have them.
The vote at Grimsley was taken
after much debate. The plan af
ter its initial presentation was
put into a committee of five stu
dents and five teachers. They
were to recommend on whether
or not it was a feasible idea. The
committee also brought up the
proposed discussion and seminars.
After its recommendation the
whole faculty voted on it. It
passed.
Final approval was made by
Doctor House. It was announced
in the Greensboro Record prior
to the meeting on April 21.
money from this dance has proved
to be enough to supplement the
otherwise low amount on hand.
