sion, representing both of Greens
boro’s daily newspapers.
The informative series of talks
began with a visit by Mr. Leslie
Ricketts, Classified Ad Manager
of the GREENSBORO DAILY
NEWS and the GREENSBORO
RECORD. Mr. Ricketts, a 37-
year veteran of the newspaper
business, concentrated his narra
tive on a relevant topic of the
day, the newsprint shortage.
The speaker commented that
the strike of Canadian wood pulp
workers during October and part
of November hit the Greensboro
papers hard and elaborated by
adding that during those months
the Monday morning editions of
the DAILY NEWS were cut to
eight pages, with his own classi
fied ad section being greatly af
fected by the move, since no
clasified ads were run on these
occasions. Mr. Ricketts noted,
“The month of October is the
only month this year in which
Comet Kohoutek Not
To Be Viewed For
Another 20,000 Years
“Space cement,” a white tar
like substance, is the blame for
the comet of t he century Kohou
tek for bombing out.
The tar , formed by solar heat
and a chemical reaction kept the
dust particles from escaping and
also kept the comet cool enough
to keep the ..gases from forming.
Thus, no vivid tail for the thous
ands who had been anxiously
waiting to view.
Kohoutek was supposed to be
the brightest object in the sky on
January 2 but was not visible in
the Greensboro area because of
a cloud cover. The clouds finally
disappeared on Monday, January
7, but with a small tail. Kohoutek
could not be seen with the un
aided eye.
So until 1986 when Haley’s
Comet returns from its 76-year
journey, comets will be forgotten.
Kohoutek will not be back until
another 20,000 years.
the classified section has shown
a loss (in money) compared to
the sanie month of the previous
year.”
The speaker, who also illus
trated and lectured on the duties
of his job in brief, summed up
the newsprint istuation by saying
that, although (the acuteness of
the problem hai abated, the cost
of newsprint is constantly rising,
with a projected increase of $67
a ton by the first of July. He
added that in 1972 the two
Greensboro papers consumed 13,-
450 tons of newsprint, thus im
pressing the point upon the aud
ience that the anticipated price
increase will amount to an ad
ditional large sum of money in
operating costs throughout 1974.
Mr. Ricketts’ visit was followed
by an appearance of Mr. Jim
Schlosser three days later, De
cember 13.
Mr. Schlosser, a political re
porter for the RECORD, explained
his job and described his Journa
listic career during the course
of his talk. He has been with the
paper for seven years, starting
out writing obituaries and work
ing his way through several po
sitions to his present one (to

imately 300 students tried out for
All-State Band at Ragsdale High
School. Twenty different schools
were involved from areas of the
state as far as Burlngton, Lexing
ton, Asheboro, and Eden.
In order to be selected for the
Band the students had to play
a prepared piece, a sight reading
piece, and six major scales in
cluding a chromatic scale.
Each student played by him-or
herself to two judges, who were
sitting behind a curtain. Each
contestant was told what to do
and when to do it. Then each
judge used a scale from 1-100 to
determine the individual score.
(A perfect score would be 200
from both judges.) This scale
was based upon point allotments
of 40 points for the prepared
piece, 35 points for the sight
reading piece, and 25 points for
the scales.
Grimsley is proud to announce
that 66 out of 69 students made
the All-State Band—35 made the
first band and 31 made the sec
ond band.
The conductors for it were Mr.
Charles Smith of Wake Forest
University and Mr. Don Gillis,
Composer in Residence at the
University of South Carolina.
The concert was held at West
ern Guilford High School on Sun
day, February 3, at 3:00 p.m.

team members will consist of
Greg Eason, Randy Kaplan, Jim

ing in a “round robin” tourna
ment. The teams will be divided
into eight divisions, each team
in the division will compete
against one another. At the end
