April 13, 1979 HIGH UFE Page 5 The Many Faces Of Love Months Of Planning, Work Bring GYC Carnival Success By Carla Nelson Love has many faces, Many directions, and many names. None are even similar. With different feelings and different games. Respect is a silent love, Silent like the breezes in the trees, Noble as giant oaks,^ Quiet like the driftwood on the seas. Forgiveness is a face of love Knowing we all can fail. Teaching that all are imperfect. Even the flowers of the dales. Giving is the face of love That teaches men to grow -- Caring more for others than for oneself. Letting fears go. Sex is a face of love That brings promise back to earth Invoking other faces Like life, trust and birth. These faces are a few. I’m sure you have your own. The joys that push you onward And those which bring you home. St. Paul said there aren’t many things That can last on earth -- But faithfulness, and hop>efulness. And love remain. by Jackie Seism The smell of cotton candy and french fries lingers in the air. Nearby, a radio plays the latest hits. Young people sit on a curb, looking totally exhausted except for the brightness remaining in their eyes. Two hours before, the place was filled with thous ands of people. But as the magical hour of midnight neared, the crowd began to thin. By 12:30 it was empty, with the exception of the young people pushing brooms and older men tam pering with equipment. The first four days of the Greensboro Youth Council’s 1978 Carnival are almost over. It is hard to conceive DRESS TO IMPRESS WITH FORAAALS FROM TOM BOONE n 2 W. Sycamore Uptown Mall 273-6617 that in less than eighteen hours the eight months of planning, preparation, and pure hard work will be over. But no one is thinking about that now; there are still spots of litter which need sweep ing and booths which need fixing. * * * This year’s GYC Carnival is April 25-29 at the Greens boro Coliseum Parking Lot. The eight months spent planning and preparing will culminate in this five-day event, and before anyone realizes it. Carnival will be over imtil 1980. But for those five short days, the lives of most people working there will be filled with fun, excite ment, and, of course, hard work. When it’s all over, with only the smell of pop corn and candied apples in the air to remind people of what has been happening, there will be a certain bright ness in everyone’s eyes, a reflection of the satisfaction of a job well done. Culkin Cares About ROTC by Sara Gramley The ROTC unit at GHS is much more than meets the eye. For the students in volved in the class “it’s a place where you can find l^nny.th* campuj^ down 1h« JidewalK —afunbytune. wa^ laughing on mside because -tofiwrrow was -tba big Lit test!

Among his other qualifications, he has a Masters Degree in Counse ling and is truly concerned about all his students. Colonel Culkin likes the Marines, but loves “working with young people.” His counselings philosophy makes perfect sense: “Why should the school counselors spend all of their time help ing students fiU out college application forms when any one going to college should be able to figure this out. The kids who need the counselors’ help desperately are the C, D, and F stu dents.” This type of student may have the potential for college, but most fi-equently, simply needs advice on voca tional and training pro grams. Colonel Culkin tries to impress upon students the importance of good grades, but realizes that for many people it is a struggle just to make a D. He feels that two of the advantages of being in ROTC are improvements in oral and human communica tions. Students in ROTC strive for C averages. The present problem is a lack of interest in the class. The Grimsley ROTC is funded by the Marine Corps, and if Grims ley does not have one hunfi- red students enrolled next year, the ROTC program will have to be dropped. This school year there are twenty-four less students in ROTC than there were last year. Colonel Culkin is, how ever, very optimistic as he saysi ‘ ‘little by little the right ones will come along.”
