and have been awarded numerous
prizes.
Eight students from Grimsley

tions will be shown at the Weath-
erspoon Art Gallery. Debbie Hall,

Another contest entered by 22
students from the art department

40. If!

from oil, water color, acrylics.
mixed media, pastels, crayon, pen
and ink, charcoal, polymer, tem
pera, collage, woodcut linoleum,
print, and drawing chalk. The
framing for oil and acrylics was
a simple frame while other media
must have been on mats and pas
tels sprayed with a fixative.
There were two levels of com

Robin Wright, and Valeria Low
ell.
Students who visited Smith
were:
Brad Cherson, James Singleton,
Gloria Pinson, Kathy Murray,
Dubby Evans, Steven Hayes, Pa
tricia Watkins, Robin Starolitz,
Alan Elmonds, Doug Glover, Cry
stal Mack, and Kathy Ellis.
These students spent the day
observing the schools and com
paring them to Grimsley.
Grimsley in turn received 36
exchange students who arrived
during first period.
The exchange students and
guides were matched up by sex
and class. This was necessary so
that male guides would not be
taking girls’ gym classes and so
that a sophomore would not have
to sit through his senior guide’s
physics class hopelessly confused.
Guides were chosen chiefly
from Student Council to provide
enough male guides.' The ex
change students followed the
guide’s schedules and attended
their regular classes.
The guides and exchangees ate
lunch during fourth period in
room 521. The Welcoming Com
mittee of Student Affairs made
sandwiches and desserts. The
Coca Cola Bottling Company do
nated the drinks in support of
better human relations.
The exchange students left
Grimsley to return to their own
schools shortly after one o’clock.
Mr. Gwynn, Student Affairs ad
viser, expressed the hope that
some time in the future it would
be possible to increase the num
ber of students exchanged and
possibly extend Student Exchange
Day from a one to a two day ex
perience.

Humanities Offers
Cuiture, Variety
For GHS Students
Humanities, a new English
course this year, links literature
with a study of the Arts: Music,-
Art, Sculpture, Theatre, and
Dance.
This is a new approach to the
study of literature. Each unit of
study begins with a discussion of
current issues, when each student
selects from the past literature
works and pieces from the Fine
Arts which influence contempor
ary trends.
In a recent assignment the
students in Mrs. Hoffler’s three
Humanities classes visited Weath-
erspoon Art Gallery to examine
the exhibit and write a paper on
their observations. The second
sector of their assignment con
cerned their preparation of a
critique of the Rare Book press
es at UNC-G Libarry.
In response to this study Mrs.
Emmy Mills, Director of Special
Collections at the UNC-G Library,

After four years of basketball
and football at Booker T. Wash
ington High School in Reidsville,
N.C., and activities in college
sports at A & T University, Mr.
Jim Jones, GHS Security Counse
lor, received his first athletic in
jury during the Student-Faculty
Basketball Game on Feb. 8.
In the act of a rebound, Mr.
Jones came down off-balance pn
his left foot.
“First I thought that I had in
jured my ankle, but I doubted
this when the severe pains con
tinued,” stated Mr. Jones.
Married and the father of two
children, he further said that he
likes his job and thinks that it
is very important to the school
system. He hopes that all schools
in N.C. will someday have Secur
ity Counselors because of their
, importance.

To Tour Nassau
In Summer Trip
After all is said and done, Nas
sau will be the destination of the
GHS music department tour in
1973 scheduled to take place Jimp
11-16.
This will be Grimsley’s thir
teenth trip to Nassau, the first
one having occurred in 1960. The
project has continued thanks to
the determination of Mr. Herb
Hazelman, Music Department
head, and Mr. Ron Hill, choral
director for the school.
GHS was the first school to
take extensive trips to different
parts of the world. Although olh-
er countries and continents have
been visited, Nassau remains as
the place most frequently toured.
The group is to leave June 11
and fly direct to Nassau via a
chartered jet. In past ye'ars, the
students have been bused to Mi
ami where they caught a plane to
Nassau. However, this year they
will fly on aq Eastern plane from
Greensboro
The Sheraton British Colonial
Hotel will house the tourists,
where they will swim on the
hotel’s private beach or pool.

py leisure hours, while night
clubs for young people will beck
on at night.
counselor here, now has a dou
ble work load because of Mr.
Jones’ absence. Mr. Gulla also
feels that security personnel are
vital. He thinks that there will
soon be this type of help in the
school systems all across the na
tion. “Junior high schools in
Greensboro will soon have secur
ity counselors, too,” says Mr.
Gulla.
When asked how long he felt
that these counselors will stay in
school systems, he said, “It just
depends on how well things go.”
Mr. Jones underwent further
surgery on his broken leg on
Feb. 9, after which the prognosis
was good for its mending.
Better Than Ever
Is Ouilook For
Torchlight Show
Wider representation of the stu
dent body and greater variety of
acts should make for a more en
tertaining Torchlight Talent Show
which will be held on March 6th
during 3rd period.
The acts for the show were
chosen from 35 talent tryouts
held on Thursday and Friday,
February 15th and 16th. The par
ticipants in this year’s show ap
pear to be a more representative
group of students than ever be
fore, and should therefore prove
to be entertaining.
Chosen for their knowledge of
variety of talents and their ex
perience in judging performances,
the judges will choose first, sec
ond, and third place winners who
will receive $30.00, $15.00. and
$5.00 respectively.
Last year’s first place winner
was Jay Weatherman, who did
a comedy act. Second place went
to a group called “Skydogs,”
while Carmen Craft took third
as a vocalist entry.
“Students attending the show
should consider the hard work and
many hours of rehearsal the per
formers have put into their acts.
They are contributing their time
and effort to entertain our stu
dents and to help raise money
for a very worthwhile project,”
said a Torchlight member.
“With this in mind students are
asked to remember that a courtr
eous audience is all the reward
many of the performers will get
for their hard work,” she went
on
