'Wild 'N Crazy' Bunch
Where Do You Fit?
By Lisa Berkelhammer
There’s an amusing anec
dote driftin’ through the
halls of GHS. It’s about our
beloved student parking lot.
If you haven’t yet heard it,
then you’re in for a treat!
It’s said, you can tell the
student body by its parking
lot. For instance, the jocks
and jockettes, of course,
park their cars across from
the tennis courts and football
field. The average school kid
peirks in the back of the
center area, while the prep
pies park their green, pink
and yellow bugs in the front
of the lot.
HIGH LIFE
'Something For Everyone'
By Leslie Berkelhammer
The Art Department is the
fourth in a series of year-long
featured departments.
“I devote a lot of time at
home to it, but I wouldn’t be
doing as much without this
class.”
What kind of class could
provoke such interest for
Martha Wright is Art III/IV,
the advanced art class.
Art at Grimsley has
‘‘something for everyone”
says art teacher Mrs. Alber
ta Cuthbertson. Her beginn
ing students in Art I work out
of a textbook to learn funda
mental techniques. Once
mastered, they advance at
Art n. Because students
work at a different pace, they
are given a general assign
ment and then worked with
individually. Students in Art
II work with different media
so as to be exposed to as
many areas of art as possi
ble. Exposure to the arts is
also offered by Mrs. Haynes
and her general crafts class.
Art ni/IV, taught ny
Cuthbertson, allows stu
dents to concentrate in their
specialty. Beverly McLiver
relates, ‘‘It’s pretty good.
She tells you what’s wrong
and you work with it . . .
You’re on your own.”
Mclver’s classmates work
on six projects of their own
choosing each nine weeks.
‘‘A contract is binding,”
warns Cuthbertson. As a
result, many students find
themselves responsible for
more than six projects in a
nine weeks if they didnot
complete six the previous
quarter. This system,
explains Cuthbertson, en
courages quality at the same
time it teaches students to
finish what they begin.
The students are encour
aged to enter contests. Each
year Grimsley participates in
the Junior Women’s Club
Art Show and the Scholastic
Art Awards. Indeed, Edna
Maynard exclaims, ‘‘It help
ed me win a red ribbon for
the Junior Women’s Club
Contest!” Additionally,
there is usually an art show
at Grimsley’s final PTA
meeting in the late spring.
Yearround coverage can be
seen in the various exhibits
in the main hall display
cabinet.
Special honors are given to
seniors in the spring with the
weekly selection of a ‘‘stu
dent of the week.” The front
display cabinet features the
senior’s most outstanding
creations, their photo, and a
resume with future plans.
Many of the art students
anticipate continuing their
talents in college. The class
es they take in the art
department prepare them for
future experiences. Sunita
Chandra elaborates: ‘‘Some
of us hope to go to AP Studio
Art at Weaver.”
Students appreciate the
freedom of the classes. Page
Schmid confirms this general
feeling saying, ‘‘We more or
less have our own technique;
she (Cuthbertson) gives us
ideas of how to express it.”
Grimsley’s Art Depart
ment provides students with
the chance to explore their
talents. The 50 class minutes
are just a beginning.
Suzanne Smith puts the finishing touches on her oil pain
ting. This was one of her nine weeks projects completed for
Art IV & V. (Sykes photo)
If You're Puzzled, Test Your Mind
See What Words You Can Find

To the far right park the
more ‘‘wdd ’n crazy” bunch
of the less studious students.
They seem to enjoy the
privacy of this lot. Finally,
we see ‘‘head row” of the
GHS lot. At all hours of the
school day one can find
entertainment, companion
ship, and emotional boosters
to make the time pass more
pleasantly.
It’s interesting to see who
parks where. From time to
time, park some place you
don’t really belong and see
what looks you get - or what
you get offered!
