Trips to Awanita 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,” he concluded. American Poems Basis For (onceri 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. -0^—— 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.” Continned on Page Eight Morgcin Adams tops 'em on "Top 'Em Day" by coming put a second story exit. 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.
