cussing plans for the Ball. Upon

the warning of the Fairy God
mother and fled from the Ball.
In her rush from the ballroom
she dropped one of her glass slip
pers, but had no time to stop and
pick it up. Prince Mendenhall,
who had fallen in love with Cin
derella,, proposed to search the
kingdom until he found the own
er of . the clipper. Although she
was a little hesitant in trying it
on, CindereUa was the perfect
fit for the slipper and was chosen
to be the Prince’s bride. As is
the May Day tradition, the flow
ers did their dance which con
cluded in the winding of the May
Pole.
The story and May Court pre
sentations were carried out very
smoothly and even the Student
Chairmen were pleased with the
over-all May Day.

GHS’s Sbir And Madrigals
Halfway Through Busy Month
Grimsley’s choir and madrigals
have a busy month during May.
It started with a concert on May
2nd and ends with graduation on
May 31. In between these dates
there are concerts on the 11th,
18th, and 28th.
The May 2nd concert was one
that involved every group in
the department. Appropriately
enough, it was named the “de
partmental concert.’’ The groups
singing were the mixed chorus,
advanced girls, girls’ madrigals,
mixed madrigals, and the choir.
Mrs. Harris, a math teacher
here at Grimsley, has invited the
madrigals and choir to sing at
her church on May 11. Several
important people have been in
vited, including the music super
visor for this area.
The band will give its final
concert of the year on May 18th.
The choral department will also
take part, as they will sing Mr.
Hazelman’s arrangement of Jesus
Christ Superstar.
Vespers has been a very con
troversial subject among seniors
this year, but a service is still
being planned. As is the tradition,
the choir will sing for the event.
In the three years a student
is at Grimsley, graduation is the
biggest event. It is also the big
gest event for the choir, as they
perform before a very large aud
ience, many of them singing with
the choir for the last time.
Civinettes To Honor
Teacher Of The Year
Teacher of the year will be
presented this year for the first
time by the G.H.S. Junior Civi
nettes at the awards assembly.
Sarah Edwards, project chair
man, worked with the entire club
to develop the idea of honoring
a teacher. The Civinettes debated
at several club meetings trying
to solve such problems as criteria
for the award, distribution and
tallying of votes, and presenta
tion of the award.
Ninety-six teachers were slated
on the ballot. “We felt that a
primary was not necessary.’’ as
serted Sarah Edwards. Ballots
were distributed in homerooms
by members of Civinettes Tues
day, April 27th. Along with the
ballots, sheets explaining the pur
poses and goals of the award
were'given to every student. The
following weekend, most of the
votes.were tallied, but the final
ist will not be announced until
awards day.
“We wanted to honor one teach
er in our faculty who is a tre
mendous asset to our school’s
student body, its curriculum, its
reputation, and its personality.’’
A plaque will be presented to
the outstanding teacher which
will be passed on to his or her
successor.
“Experience is the best teach
er,’’ says one vote counter, “but
it seems that might not apply in
our contest.’’
