Mrs. Rachel Morton, last year’s
HIGH LIFE advisor, has moved
to yearbook, after Miss Virginia
Powell’s nearly 25 years of dili-,
gent service as yearbook advisor,
ended in retirement last semes
ter. Miss Powell’s presence will
be greatly missed, although she
has returned for the early part
of the school year to get every
thing running smoothly. However,
she leaves her job in the very
capable hands of Mrs. Morton
and a very hard-working staff.
Key Club Student-
Faculty Directory'
Work Underway
Work is underway on the Key
Club Student-Faculty Directory.
The annual project of the Grims-
ley Key Club is expected to
reach the faculty and student
body by mid November.
Directory chairman Rick Blink-
horn plans to enlarge the up
coming directory from the original
4 inches by 8 inches to a 5 1/4
inches by 8 inches format. The
reason for the change, Rick says,
is to compensate for the steady
school membership increase.
Key Club members have been
instructed to begin soliciting ads
The mnoey raised from advertis
ing is used to finance the cost of
the directory.
In addition to the work on the
directory, the club is also making
plans to provide a basketball pro
gram for all home games. Like
the directory, the printing cost of
the basketball programs will be
paid for with the revenue raised
from ads.
Another area of concern for
the Key Club is the posting of
annoucements on the school mar
quee. This year, all club members
will share in the task of chang
ing the announcements regularly

Library Cures Student
Diseases-Assignment Fever
Attention all students! Grims-
ley’s Media Center is designed
to combat the most dreaded of
stuent diseases—assignment fever.
Recent stuies show that there
are two types of fever, type "A”,
and type “F.” Each has its own
set of symptoms. Type "A” suf
ferers exhibit such symptoms as
writer’s cramp and midnight oil
fatigue. But type “A” patients us
ually recover. What’s more, they
build up a tolerance to the di
sease after having it a few times.
The “tools” the media center
offers are 18,000 books, 105 mag
azine subscriptions, and hundreds
of audio-visual aids. Approximate
ly 99% of the Grimsley student
body suffers from assignment
fever, the other 1% is put in two
categories: permanent truents and
mental vaecums. Since so many
students need to use the media
center, various guidelines have
been established for using it.
Some of the majors ofte are:
Hours: 8:15 to 4:30.
Checking out books: Books may
be borrowed for three weeks. Re
newals are allowed unless some
one else has asked for the book.
Five cents a day is charged for
overdue books.
Reserve books; Books on re
serve can be borrowed for use
only in the media center. They
may be checked out overnight
at 3:30, and must be returned by
8:35 the next day. Five cents per
period is charged for overdue re
serve books.
“Stealing” books. Don’t, even-
if you intend to return the book
later. Checking it out only takes
a second.
The media specialists are Mrs.
Robinson and Mrs. Benson. Media
aid is Mrs. Kiver.
Because of its attempt to fight
assignment fever, the media cen
ter is constantly expanding. This
year you will see more books
and audio-visuals than ever be
fore. The lounge chairs are being
reupholstered, and the lounge
area moved to the other side of
the center (on your right as you
come" in). New magazine stands
will be Installed. Best, a coin
operated copy machine is being
put in (five cents a copy). With
all these additions, a bout of
the fever shouldn’t be too severe.
New Renovations
For GHS At Last
This year Grimsley has, and
will make, some much needed
changes. Some of these changes
will not affect us very much,
while others will mean much.
The addition of a new science
building that is to be four stories,
will no doubt help in Grimsley’s
problem of over-crowding. This
building will be the most drastic
change GHS will face.
The looks of the interior of the
cafeteria has been greatly modi
fied by the new furniture and
the freshly tiled floor. It has,
however, been decided that the
appearance of the food remains
much the same as last year.
One of the more noticeable
changes in Grimsley is the re
modeling of all the bathrooms.
Since they have been under con
struction you have noticed the
need for them even more.
The teachers will solely bene
fit from one of the changes to
take place. This change is the
paving of the faculty parking lot.
With this change will undoubtedly
come the organization of numer
ous faculty parking lot sweeps.
The presence of retiled floors
has been very encouraging to see.
It has been stated, though, that
the bright colors of these floors
will be humbled to to the dust
very shortly by the clatter of
students’ footsteps.
On Friday, August 24, this
year’s varsity cheerleaders were
chosen. The cheerleaders are Boyd
Brown, Janice Brown, Terry
Christian, Liz Dowdy, Liz Elkins,
Cam Ellis, Toni Ford, Bonie
Griffen, Cheryl Haithcock, Janette
Inman, Lolly Normandy, and Dar
lene Staton. The head cheerlead
er has not yet been chosen.
Of the 12 girls chosen, four
are returning from last year. They
are Boyd Brown, Janice Brown,
Departing Teachers
Bring New Faces
To Grimsley’s Faculty
Several teachers departed from
Grimsley’s campus last year and
their presence will be missed. Miss
Virginia Powell, WHIRLIGIG ad
visor and a member of Grimsley’s
faiulty for 26 years retired last
year. Miss Mozel Causey, English
drama teacher, and Mrs. Kate
Everhart, biology teacher, also re
tired last year.
Other teachers who did not
retire but departed from Grims
ley’s campus last year were Mrs.
Beth Boccuzzi, student affairs ad
visor and biology teacher, who is
getting her Masters ' Degree in
science; Mrs. Judy Berry, social
studies teacher; Mr. Charles Hill
ICT; Mr. Jay Randal, tennis
coach, Mr. Groves, COE, Mr.
Carrier and Mrs. Betty Efland,
English teachers.
The departure of many of these
teachers has made it necessary
to bring in new teachers. Among
them are Mrs. Connie Enis, an
English teacher who has also
consented to be the new HIGH
LIFE advisor this year; Mr.
Michael Parrish, English/drama
teacher; Mr. Richard Smith, Eng
lish teacher; Mrs. Brooks, history
teacher; Mr. Jerry Lonon, biology
teacher; Mrs. Pat Armentrout, bi
ology teacher, and Mrs. Terri Co
ble, the new COE teacher. Wel
come to Grimsley’s faculty.
Cheryl Haithcock, and Janette
Inman.
Any junior or senior who wish
ed to tryout was eligible. The
girls met frequently during the
summer, learning and practicing
the types of routines required in
the competition.
Miss Linda Tamblyn, the fac
ulty advisor for the cheerleaders
meets with the girls everyday
and helps direct their activities.
Jumping, smiling, yelling, and
trying to impress the judges with
their sualifications, the girls work
ed and waited for the decision
of the judges.
During the tryouts each girl
had to do four jumps, a stag, an
eagle spread; a straddle, and a
“C” jump They also had to do
a cartwheel, a spUt, two dances,
and two cheers.
The uniforms are to be the
traditional school colors, dark
blue and white; and the style will
remain the same.
This year the girls are planning
pep rallies for home games and
important away games. The new
girls are very energetic and en
thusiastic about increasing school
spirit and are encouraged and
supported by the returning girls
from last year’s squad.
