HIGH LIFE
Six Teachers To Reti
re
-May 19, 1970
In Jun
Six of Grimsley’s finest teachers
will be retiring this year. Among
these are Mrs. Margaret G. Had
den, Miss Louise Smith, Miss
Estelle Mitchell, Mrs. Grace Al
ton, Miss Sara Mims, and Mrs.
Mary Madlin. All of these teach
ers have put in hard work and
dedication to help their multi
tude of students throughout the
past years. In this issue of HIGH
LIFE three of the six will be
honored. The remaining teachers
will be presented in the next is
sue.
Miss Estelle Mitchell has been
teaching for a total of 45 years.
She is, at present, a French teach
er as well as the head of the
French Department. In past years,
this lady has attended the Sar-
bonne in France and participated
in Alliance Francaise. During
Seventh period Miss Mitchell
helps in the Dean’s Office. As
extra work, she is the faculty ad
visor of the Future Teachers of
America. When asked if she liked
her profession enough to pursue
it again, this French scholar re
plied, “Very definitely’’.
In September of 1947, Mrs.
Margaret G. Hadden joined the
Grimsley faculty as an experi
enced teacher of Distribution Edu
cation and Marketing. She had
earlier received her AB from
Furman University and a MA
from UNC-G. When asked why
she chose this particular profes
sion, Mrs. Hadden replied, “I
love young people and teaching
is an excellent way to work with
them.’’ She once thought that
maybe she would go into law but
teaching seemed to, produce a
harder pull. And, it has turned
Out to be a rewarding and chal
lenging experience. Her advice to
new teachers, or those going into
the field is to “have patience and
understanding; be fair and con
sistent—praise whenever possible.’’
After retirement, Mrs. Hadden
plans to work part-time, as well
as travel and visit friends and
family. She would also like to
do quite a bit of church work.
Another teacher that will be
leaving in June is Miss Louise
Smith, an English teacher. This
will not be the first time she has
“left” GHS for she went here as
a student. She also attended UNC-
G, UNC-CH, Columbia University,
and the University of Mexico.
Miss Smith returned as a teach
er in 1933. Born with the know
ledge that she would be a teacher,
this English major advises all
teachers to “keep a sense' of
humor.” She would like to see
more emphasis put on character
training in the schools of today.
Research and ceramics will be
her major interests after retir
ing. Miss Smith has enjoyed her
life to learning and would do it
over again if given the chance.
^^Woodstock*’—A Truthful Film
Woodstock is a documentary
about /the festival that took place
in White Lake, New York last
August. It shows the event from
beginning to end and all its as
pects. It begins with a shot of the
grassy, pasture type area where
the festival was held. Aerial shots
show the miles of cars and people
headed in that direction.
The film is about- the people
and the music that really made
the festival what it was. The peo
ple are on film exactly as they
were whether skinny dipping,
dancing, sliding in mud, or hav
ing intercourse. The drugs were
also there. Many film editors
would have left some of those
parts out because the acts are

The editors of Woodstock are to
be commended for keeping them
in since they too affected the
festival and what it was. Inter
views and candid shoes gave hu
mor and a sense of authenticy
to the picture.
Then there was the music that
brought these people. Notable in
the film were Joe Cocker, the
Who, Arlo Guthrie, Crosby, Stills,
and Nash, Country Joe and the
Fish, Jimi Hendrix, and Santana.
If you like their music then the
movies is worth seeing just for
that. The Janus people have the
volume on their stereo turned up
loud. It seems to come at you
from all sides and if you’re in
the mood, you can really get into
it.
The film is not one sided. Be
sides the music and the happy
people, it shows the unhappy
people at the festival and in the
surrounding towns. One man de
scribed the festival the scene
after the festival had ended and
most of the people had left. The
green land had become a sea of
mud and trash.
The “three days of peace and
music” for those at the festival
lasts over three hours for those
watching it on film. For those
needing to take a break, I would
advise you to take it while Ten
Years After is playing. Their
number is long and gets to be
tiring. By taking your break then
you only miss a part of their
song which they’ll probably re
peat when you’re back anyhow.
The Janus Theaters are charg
ing $3.00 admission on week days
and $3.50 on weekends. This is
kind of high but it’s worth it.
That Was The Beach That Was
It’s over. Beach Weekend, the
time when everybody forgets the
hum-drum school life and turns,
to thoughts of sun, sand, booze,

and broads. Some of the students
of Grimsley planned for this
weekend last month, while others
made up their minds Thursday
night. Then comes Friday, the
pinnacle of anxiety. Time was of
the essence on that fabled Fri
day. Time dragged on, and finally
3:30 came around. The bell rang,
and chaos broke loose. Some stu
dents broke the world’s records
in the dash for the car. Car loads
of yelling, psychotic teenagers
zoomed down 220 South. Those
students not so lucky sadly went
home.
South 220 became like Pied
mont Drag Strip. Cars cruising
at 150 m.p.h. were filled with
singing, yelling, (sometimes in
toxicated) students.
At about 7:30, the first of the
Greensboro kids hit Myrtle Beach.
By 8:00, most of the hotels had
the “no vacancy” sign glaring on.
These students brought only the
bare essentials to exist for two
days: twenty-five bottles of sun
tan lotion, cool ray shades, swim
trunks, a pair of jeans, a tee-
shirt, and a case of Bud. As Fri
day night dragged on. Myrtle
Beach, O.D., and Cherry Grove
filled up with people ages 14-25.
Parties, consisting of booze, cards,
and girls, went on all night and
most of the next day and night.
Then, Sunday came. Everyone
went out to try to soak up that
last-minute beach sun because to
morrow they would find them
selves two hundred miles away.
