Students ih the Greensboro
School System were given the
opportunity to exempt exams first
semester under certain provisions.
Studies on the question of ex
amination exemptions began two
years ago and finally came to a
conclusion. The committee which
drew up the procedures was ap
pointed this fall by Dr. W. J.
House.
Students, teachers, principals,
and central office personnel were
represented. The proposals were
approvd by Dr. House and be
came effective this January.
This exam committee shall
evaluate the plan at the end of
the current school year. A com
plete review shall be made at
the end of the three-year period.
Any student who had a 3.0 se
mester average with no letter
grade lower than a C could have
exempted the exam in that class
regardless of grade averages in
other classes.
A conduct grade had no effect
on exemption procedures.
o
Varioifs service clubs and the
P.T.S.A. donated $1,250 in the
1970-71 school year. These con
tributions went toward the pur
chase of the audio-visual equip
ment. Before Christnias, the Inter
act Club contributed $100 which
will be ued for a second cabinet.
According to Miss Herring, Stu
dent librarians are doing an ex
cellent job in the library. Each of
these students devotes his time
and efforts during his studyhall. '
Miss Herring considers herself
“blessed with a fine staff.”

From Russia WithlLore
GHS’s international ties were
strengthened during December by
the travels of Miss Mozelle Cau
sey. Miss Causey, an English
teacher at Grimsley, journeyed
through the Soviet Union from
Dec. 22-Jan. 1. The trip, spon
sored by Delta Kappa Gamma,
was part of an educational pro
gram between the USSR and the
U.S.
While in Leningrad the group
visited the Hermitage, the Palace
of the Czar and Czarenes, and
the Czar Paul’s Paulousk.
The American educators stayed
at Hotel Russia, the world’s larg
est hotel. While in Moscow, the
group saw the Kremlin, St. Basil’s
Cathedral, Lenin’s Tomb, Moscow
University, the Exhibition of Ec
onomic Achievement.
Highlights of the trips were
visits to see performances by the
Bolshoi Ballet, Kirov Opera
House, and the State Choreogra
phy Ensemble.
The main purpose of the trip
was for American educators to
compare the Soviet educational
system with ours. Seminars and
visits to Russian Schools conduct
ed by Soviet academians, provid
ed the Americans with a first
hand view of Soviet Education.
While in Leningrad, Miss Cau
sey presented the Key to the City
of Greensboro, as weil as its
flag, to the chairman of the
school board and the president of
the Leningrad teachers club.
Postponed Play
Now Planned
For March
Yes, Junior Class, there will be
a play this year! Its success (or
failure) depends on class mem
bers. Due to the untimely and
lengthy renovation of the audi
torium, the play had to be post
poned. Class officers now hope
to present the play March 16.
With two months for practice
and preparation for this class
project, leaders feel it should
certainly be successful. “Members
of the Junior Class must take an
active interest in working with
the play,” says Mark Abee.
Up The Down Staircase has a
large cast consisting of eighteen
girls and twelve boys. If you are
interested in or have previously
been assigned a part, please see
Miss Causey (room 213) in order
to receive a copy of the script.
Russeii, represented Grimsley.
Ben J. Bowers, president of the
area Sigma Delta Chi Chapter,
presided over the workshop.
The highlight of the day was
the luncheon when North Caro
lina Governor Robert Scott spoke
and held a press conference for
student publications only. It was
the first restricted news confer
ence to the youth by a governor
of North Carolina.
If you have stage fright (or
just don’t qualify as a “ham”)
there are many other jobs essent
ial in the production of a play.
Stage scenery, and props, make
up, publicity, tickets, programs,
and costumes will all need com
mittees of hard workers.
Governor Scott answered ques
tions asked only by students, with
questions ranging from his opin
ion of the destiny of Smith Is
land (Bald Head) to his chances
of running for the Vice-Presi
dency with Muskie.
Announcements and committee
sign-up lists will be made in all
Junior Class homerooms. The
Junior Class officers thank class
members for their continuing sup
port. “Let’s make this year’s play
the best yet,” commented Mark
Abee.
o
“I would consider it an honor
to be selected as his (Muskie’s)
running mate, but I don’t plan to
hold my breath and wait for it
to happen.”
When asked if he would run
for another term for governor if
he could, Scott answered that he
would.
“I look upon the last four
years with the nagging realiza
tion that there’s not a lot of time
left to do what needs to be done.
And there’s so much more to
be done. I feel that if an in
cumbent governor were allowed
to run again, he would do these
things that he knows need to
be done.”
Scott feels that Muskie will
win the Democratic nomination,
but if Humphrey should win,
Scott will support Humphrey.
