Handbook Describes
Students Life At GHS
Call it the Answer Book, if
you like, but mid-September, ev
ery Grimsley student will be
handed a brand new handbook,
compiled by Mr. Gwynn, admin
istrative assistant. This handbook
is a real work of art, written ex
clusively for the GHS student.
Sixty hours of research and
writing, plus many more hours
of time and energy, have pro
duced the new document. Last
year the administration realized
that during the school year stu
dents and often teachers were un
informed about many school-re
lated policies, rules, and prob-
lems.
With this information in mind,
Mr. Gwynn began his project of
writing an entirely new student
handbook.
His goal was to produce a true
handbook—one that would answer
pertinent and often disregarded
questions. The new book is pack
ed full of information. Over one
hundred subjects are covered on
over sixty pages.
The new student *‘Bible sup
plies facts on almost everything,
including bicycles, snow days, fi
nancial aid, suspensions, athletic
events, and even school pictures.
The handbook contains most of
the information that teachers,
principals, and counselors once
gave out under continuous and
endless questioning.
Not meant to stifle student
questioning, the handbook just
tries to provide the answers.
It appears that the new hand-
book will be a worthwhile Md
most helpful aid in getting
through the school year.
Seven GHS students were se
lected to attend the 10th Annual
North Carolina Governor’s School
this past summer. Nine students,
selected from Greensboro, were
in Mr. Ballance’s 70-71 sophomore
English class.
Students were selected on the
basis of academic achievements
and talents by a board of admin
istrative school representatives.
Nominees in the performing arts
and academics were carefully
screened. Requirements for se
lection also included other facets
of student life besides their areas.
Tom Alspaugh, Randy Craven,
and Elizabeth Proctor from GHS
were selected in orchestral music,
along with Jan Austin, a former
GHS student now at Smith.
Carl Colvard from GHS and
Gini Stout, former GHS’er now
at Ragsdale, were nominated in
the area of French. Susan Pearce,
a GHS student, was selected in
the drama category.
John Russell, also from Grims
ley, attended in the English area,
while David Trader and Carol Os
borne, both former GHS students,
were selected for natural science
and social science respectively.
Approximately 400 students
from the state attended the acad
emy. The campus is located at
Salem College *n the heart of
Old Salem.
Governor’s School, sponsored by
the N.C. Board of Education,
spent over $1000 on each student.
The total budget was estimated at
$430,000. Students were provided
with everything needed except
spending money.
Students studied three main
areas during the session. Area I
consisted of the student’s maojr
subject for which he was selected
to come. Area II was a study of
philosophy with the basic text of
Logic of the Science and Human
izes by Northrop.
Area III dealt with psychology,
which was intended to help the
student adjust to life situations.
A faculty of 40 teachers, the ma
jority from North Carolina, taught
at the school.
The orchestra and choral en
sembles presented a formal con
cert weekly on Saturday nights.
Four modern plays were perform
ed by the drama students. The
last of the dramatic productions
was written by the students them
selves.
Other planned activities, such
as dances, were held during the
session. Students had access to
tennis courts and a swimming
pool.
According to one of the stu
dents, a major highlight in the
extra-curricular activities was
stuffing 39 people into a phone
booth.
LONDON TRIP
BIG SMASH
From Oh! Calcutta to Hair,
London was all that the mem
bers of the Grimsley Choir Tour
had dreamed of. From June 8 to
June 19, the group headed up by
Mr. Ron Hill and Mr. Herbert
Hazelman visited England and
other spots.
Upon the arrival of the large
chartered jet at London’s Hea
throw International Airport, eight
of the travelers booked seats on
connecting flights to Paris, sev
eral of whom attended the 24
hours of the famous Le Mans
race.
For those tourists staying in
London, home became the Albion
Court Hotel, B & B (meaning
bed and breakfast) located in the
West End of London. Mr. Hazel-
man had remarked earlier, “Don’t
expect the Ritz,” and the students
and friends began to understand
as they filed down to the bath
room that served the whole hall.
Optional tours at a cost of $36
per person for a package plan
included Stratford-on-Avon, Can
terbury, Windsor Castle, Oxford,
Stonehenge, Scotland, and other
places of interets.
At night, members of the tour
attended plays including Godspell,
No Sex For Me, I’m British, Hair,
and Oh! Calcutta, and there were
trips to a disco.
After the sixth day, many trav
elers had run out of money, but
a call home remedy the situa
tion. Restrictions were fair, and
except for a lost passport and a
sick girl, all went well.
Youtheatre And Outing
Club Top CYC Summer
Civitans Aid The Disabled
Distribution of food to welfare
families and to disabled people
of Greensboro over 65 has been
a regular part of the summer for
Grimsley’s Civinettes and Junior
Civitans. Other clubs in the city
have participated, also.
Coopterating with the Depart
ment of Social Services and the
Guilford County Health Dept.,
the club members have taken tha
needed food to people in a cer
tain income bracket who receive
food monthly with food stamps.
Most of the deliveries included
dried foods, like milk, eggs, etc.,
and canned foods like lima beans,
shortening, and other staples. All
foods in the packet contain stand
ard nutritional values.
In addition to welfare deliv
eries, the clubbers have visited
elderly folks who are unable to
pick up their food.
Once a month, a representative
for the club picks up the food
in boxes from the warehouse. He
is given a list of deliveries and^
a sheet for signatures of recip
ients.
At the first of the month, the
club member takes the food to
his invalid. If the person is un
able to write his name, his “X”
is witnessed by the club member.
According to Sarah Edwards,
Civinette president, “Most of the
people want you to stay and talk.
All of the people are grateful for,
the help they are receiving.”
GHS Civinettes supply 5 elder
ly folks, and the Jr. Civitans sup
ply 7. “As soon as the school
year begins, we hope to expand
the program,” says Harvey Mitch
ell, a Senior Civitan who initiat
ed the program in the local clubs.
Civinettes have also maintained
their garden on campus. Plans
are being made for fruitcake
sales and other fall activities.
The Greensboro Youth Council
planned a hectic summer schedule
for the youth of the city—a
livestock theater, an outing club,
rock concerts, and the Mainpoint
’72 and GAP broadcasts.
The Livestock Playhouse was
the stand-out in the agenda. A
new venture, the playhouse fea
tured the productions Oklahoma!,
The Odd Couple, Barefoot in the
Par, and Psychic Setback.
The theater is a renovated live
stock arena. It is equipped with
the theatrical necessities, but it
retains the charm and flavor of
the country in its decor. The
casts were comprised of high
school and college students, and
the renovation and construction
work was done by youth volun
teers. The Livestock Playhouse
succeeded in fulfilling a GYC
goal of providing an outlet for
the local youth and service for
the community.
Steve Greece led the Outing
Club, which was a cycling organi
zation. The club was open to any
interested high school or college
student. Along with bi-weekly cy
cle trips to nearby places of inter
est were bicycle workshops where
members learned maintenance of
their vehicles and the finer points
of the sport. The highlight of
the program was a three-day ex
cursion to Williamsburg, Virginia.
Peeler and Lindley Community
Centers were the locales of week
ly rock concerts that featured
local groups like the Majors, the
Villagers, and Partly Cloudy,
Tickets were inexpensive, and the
concerts provided activities for
the local youth.
The above mentioned activities
were the summer GYC projects.
School year projects that were
continued through the summer
were the weekly program Main-
point ’72, a television variety
show on Channel 2, and the GAP
radio program broadcast from
WCOG.
The end of summer was high
lighted by the Youth Leadership
Workshop—a program offering
Greensboro and Guilford County
high school students the oppor
tunity to learn and experience
phases of leadership enabling the
youth to become more effective
in positions of leadership.
These were just the summer
projects GYC presented. Needless
to say, fall will bring about an
even busier schedule for the
council.
