The sec ond term will open July 13 and 74 Grmsiey Students Selected As Who's Who Tea And Honors By GYG Seventy-four Grimsley students are recipients of the Who’s Who in Greensboro Youth.

Registra tion dates are June 4 and July 12, respectively. No Saturday classes are involved in either term. Rising juniors and seniors in high school who are interested in the program can obtain fur ther information by contacting Dr. Wells’ office at UNC-G To register, students need to make application to the UNC-G Sum mer Session Office prior to the registration date. Such students will need a transcript of their grades and a letter from their high school principal or school counselor. A flat fee of $45 is charged each term to residents of North Carolina to enroll in Summer Session, plus a $21.50 registra tion fee. Dr. Wells explained that high school students will be accepted only as day students because campus housing will not be avail able to them. He emphasized that the courses being offered in this program are not in competition with high school studies. “I would see it, instead, as a reflection of the good job the high schools are doing in preparing kids for col lege work sooner than has nor mally been the case.” Rising juniors and seniors in high school will be permitted to register for selected courses dur ing the Summer Session in the following areas of study; art, bus iness, economics, chemistry, class ical civilization, drama, speech, English, geography, German, health, history, math, music, nurs ing, philosophy, physics, politicak science, psychology, religious stud ies, French, Spanish, sociology and anthropology. Dr. Wells added, “If a student has real talent in a given area, those courses might well keep his interest from stagnating before he gets to college. “It’s also an opportunity for high school students to get start ed on their college work and per haps get a feel for what college level work is like.” In some instances, perhaps a newly graduated high school sen ior would like to get a couple of required courses out of the way before he or she enters college in the fall, noted Dr. Wells. “This would give the student more flexibility later,” he ex plained. “Clearly, one of our aims is to sell the students on enrolling at UNC-G,” he stated. “But we believe this program will give high school students a taste of college work which will benefit them wherever they go.” Thirteen Grimsley students have been awarded scholarships to help continue their education. The National Merit Scholarship corporation granted the following: Thomas A. Alspaugh, Jr. — Cone Mills Corporation Merit Scholar ship at UNC-G; Rodney L. Cole man — Cone Mills Corporation Merit Scholarship at North Caro lina State University; Kenneth J. Ries—Furman University Merit Scholarship at Furman Univer sity; John S.
