all-day visit to “Six Flags Over

Christmas holidays.
This year. Campus Life is be

Valley, S.C., and Windy Gap,
which are Young Life-sponsored
camps, are always a highlight of
the year.
“We consider that high school
people are real people and are
able to face real questions such
as who they are and what their
purpose is,” says Mr. Cochran,
“and that is what we will try to
accomplish.”
“We also urge everyone to
come out and give Young Life a
chance; you’ll be glad you did,”

Choir Director Ron Hill is pre
paring the members of the Grims
ley Choir for a join concert ■with
the choirs of Smith, Page, and
Dudley.
Together they will perform a
“Choral Symphony on American
Poems” on Nov. 20 at 8:00 p.m.
in the Smith High School Audi
torium. An orchestra, made up
of members of the music depart
ments from the schools, will ac
company the choirs.
The concert will promote bet
ter relations between the city
schools. The Greensboro City
School Association is sponsoring
the concert by loaning the choirs
by loaning the choirs the money
to finance the expenses of the
performance. Ticket sales should
cover the cost of music, and the
excess funds will be placed in,
the individual choir’s treasury.
Jack M. Jarrett, composer of
the score, will be the guest con
ductor at this special perform
ance. Mr. Jarrett, a professor at
UNC-G, will visit each school to
rehearse with the choir. A Sun
day rehearsal and several other
weekday rehearsals have been
scheduled for the 200-voice choir
during October and November.
The music, especially written
for this age group, consists of
four poems depicting some aspect
of American history. The poems
are (1) “Concord Hymn” by Ralph
Emerson, (2) “The Statue of
Old Andrew Jackson” by Vachel
Lindsey, (3) “Out of May Shows”
written by Walt Whitman, and
(4) “In Praise of Johnny Ap-
pleseed,” also written by Vachel
Lindsey.

New Pep Leader—
‘‘Dandy’ Dan
“Dandy” Dan Franklin, the'new
pep board chairman, really has
things moving. According to board
members, committees are being
formed and people seem to really
be getting interested.
One of the most innovative
ideas is the spirit jug, the re
ward for the old cheer where
sophomores, juniors, and seniors
^stand up and yell.
According to some students this
yell seems to be a farce, for
every year the seniors “win.”

Llewallen Heads Up
Dystrophy Group
“Teens Against Distrophy,” an
organization to help children who
are afflicted with muscular dis
trophy, has helped many chil
dren in many different ways.
The program was formed three
years ago, after several teen
agers returned from the muscular
distrophy camp where they were
counselors.
These people felt a need for
continuing interest, throughout
the school year, instead of one
week during the summer.
Mouse And Mums,
Crown And Crowd;
Homecoming Held
There was nothing Mickey
Mouse about this year’s Home
coming, even though the theme
was Walt Disney. The big day
was Friday, October 20, at our
game with Reynolds.
The court was nominated on
Thursday, October 5, by the sen
ior football players and the boys
who are senior student council
representatives. Voting for the
court was done by juniors and
seniors on Tuesday, October 10.
Committees were set up with
primarily junior chairmen: Elec
tion—Sharon Brewer and Sam
Stephens; Props—Ross Little and
Kay Shoffner; Programs—Kathi
Garrett and Pattie Parrett; In
vitations — Debbie Gutterman;
Flowers—Barbara Shaw, Blanche
Osborne, and Beth Cameron; Club
Projects—Jimmy Matthews; Dance
—Angie Dixon and Anne Mp-
Daniels; Music—Randy Kaplan.
The festivities began with a
banquet held on Friday, October
20, during fourth and fifth pe
riods, for the homecoming court
and their escorts.
The group began to grow stead
ily and now has almost fifty
teenagers involved in the Greens-
' boro area.
“This organization has proved
to be very worthwhile, and I
found a definite desire to help
these children,” stated John
LlewaUyn, statewdde president of
Teens against Distrophy and a
student at Grimsley.
John got involved purely by
coincidence. He was listening to
the radio one day and heard
TAD making an appeal for more
teenage camp counselors. He de
cided to look into it and became
a camp counselor last summer.
After returning from camp, he
decided to devote a lot of time
to work with these special chil
dren.
John, along with several other
youths, accompanied four pati
ents (three of which were wheel
chair patients) to the Page-Grims-
ley game October 7.
They entered at the North
Gate and sat along the gravel
pairallel to the football field.
The patients have enjoyed con
siderably the previous games
they attended with TAD.
John is planning to t3k;e nine
patients, aged 10-18, to a college
football game, as soon as the
arrangements are completed.
Other projects for this fall in
clude collecting Halloween candy
and distributing it among the
patients. Also, they will take a
few children trick-or-treating
and will atttend a few more
games.
TAD was formed for the youth
and by the youth. However, it
does need more active teenage
help. People who are willing to
help in any way are asked to
contact John LlewaUyn at 288-
6631, or Muscular Distrophy As
sociation at 272-0654.
Cross Section Of
Students To Make
Affairs Committee
Along with the implementation
of desegregation came six prob
lems which had the potential to
cause disruption in the schools.
They included (1) student in
volvement policy, (2). facilities,
(3) restrictions, (4) cross-cultural
clashes, (5) classification of stu
dents, and (6) increasing politi
calization of schools.
To meet head on with these
problems is the purpose of the
Student Affairs Committee. Where
as Student Council is involved
with relations between students
and the administration. Student
Affairs is involved with rela
tions among the students—all the
students .
While members of the Student
Council are elected, members of
the Student Affairs Committee
are elected and appointed. Twelve
members will be elected, and
twelve will be appointed.
There will be 8 representa
tives from each grade (4 elected,
4 appointed). The committee wiU
be 50% black and 50% white; it
will include all types of students
—the poor, the rich, the miUtant,
the not so militant, the intellect
ual, the not so intellectual, and
the all-round average student.
If the administration discovers
that an elemen|; of the student
body is not represented on the
committee, it will use its “power
of appointment” to fill the posi
tion.
With such a.diverse committee,
it is hoped that integration, bet
ter human relations, and a sense
of brotherhood can be accom
plished more easily.
Thousands Attend
College Program
At Exhihifion Hall
t
Over four thousand area stu
dents flocked to the Greensboro
Exhibition Hall on October 2nd
and 3rd to ask questions and re
ceive literature from over one
hundred colleges, universities, and
trade schools representing the en
tire eastern seaboard.
The Kiwanis Club of Greens
boro rented the Exhibition Hall
and worked with the GHS Key
Club to help set up tables and
chairs and hang signs.
The Vocational Guidance Com
mittee from Kiwanis worked with
the Guidance Counselors from
the city and county schools in
ironing out all of the many de
tails involved in this project.
The chairman for the city
schools was Catherine Ray, and
serving as chairman for the
county schools was Janice Res-
seger.
“This proved to be a bigger
success than we had ever hoped
for, and I’m sure there will be
more planned for the future,'”
says Mr. Hoyt Price, a Kiwanis
Club member.
