April 29 through May 4 was
a week of concentrated effort
towards improved student-teacher
relations at Grimsiey. Student-
Teacher Relations Week was laced
vdth activities sponsored ,by the
Student Affairs Committee and
aimed at this improvement.
Among the activities was a
student-volleyball game on Wed
nesday, which was won by the
students. On Monday, students
and teachers were invited to re
late to one another while eating
their lunch on the school lawn.
On Thursday there was a Stu
dent Leadership Day. Jeff Sil
vers filled Mr. Glenn’s position
as I principal and Ginny Shimer
“was” Mr. Ballance, while Carol
Shelton “was” Mr. Gwynn. For
the other office jobs the regular

since they already knew the jobs
from working with them. In most
classes, a student was either se
lected, by the teacher or elected
by the class to act as a teacher.

teachers also held open class
discussions.
Mr. Gwynn and Dana Melvin,
the chairman for the Student
Affairs Committee, expressed sim
ilar feelings on the project. Mr.
Gwynn explained that the success
cf this week could not be meas
ured in terms of the school as a
whole, but rather it must be-
looked at in terms of individual
relationships. .sj
