The National Honor Society is a
chartered organization established
by the National Association of
Secondary School Principles. The
20,300 member society which
ranges all across the country, must
operate under the same guidelines.
There are four basic qualifica
tions which students must fulfill
before they are eligible for member
ship in the National Honor Society.
Students must have a cumulative
average of 3.4 or better; they must
exert leadership in activities and in
the classroom. The students must
have exhibited service for the
school as well as in the community,
and most importantly, the
students must have a good attitude
and character.
Here at Grimsley, a computeriz
ed Mst of students with a 3.4

News In Brief
By Tamera Majors and Jay Floyd
Complimentary major motion
pictures, pinball , a video ar
cade, flashing dance floor, and con
cessions will be o..^red under one
roof to teenagers from ages thir
teen to eighteen. All of these enter
tainment devices and more will
become available upon the opening
of the facility founded by the Teen
Life Center, Inc., (TLC).
The concept for the $200,000 pro
ject was spawned before the tragic
accident on Westridge Road in
February which took the lives of
four teenagers. The wreck did,
however, convey a sense of urgency
to the local founders. Jack and Mol
llj Eisenman of Greensboro.
The original idea for the
establishment came from the news
of a successful activity center in
Spartanburg, S.C., under the direc
tion of Paul Barclay, a former resi
dent of Greensboro. The Spartan
burg organization attracts between
750 and 800 patrons on Junior
High Night, and over 1,000
students on Senior High Night.
The activities brought to the
center in Greensboro, to be con
structed in the old Train Station
downtown, will be decided entirely
by the students. “Whatever you
want, you’ll get,’’ said Molly Eisen
man in an interview with HIGH

HistoryClub Speaker
On April 19, the Grimsley
History Club sponsored a lecture
by Dr. Karl Schleunes on Nazi Ger
many.
Dr. Schleunes, a history pro
fessor at UNC-G, discussed the
commonly accepted theories on
totalitarianism and showed how
Hitler, who slept late, held boring
dinner speeches on irrelevant sub
jects, and delegated responsibility
to his immediate subordinates, did
not fit those theories.
The large audience of about fifty,
mostly students, responded to Dr.
Schleunes’ speech by asking ques
tions in all areas relating to Hitler’s
regime.
A reception followed, with food
and drinks provided by members of
the History Club.
As its next activity, the History
Club, with its adviser Mr. Robert
Fredrickson, is planning a picnic at
Battleground Park.
Madrigals
Grimsley’s Madrigals traveled to
Atlanta, Georgia for a musical com
petition in April.
Invited to the festival, the
Madrigals (out of 45 groups par
ticipating) received one of only

The Madrigals’ final performance
for the year was on May 23 at the
dinner meeting of the Greensboro
City Schools principals.

LIFE. The planning board will
always be open to suggestions from
students. Some suggests already
under way are rock concerts, stand-
up comedy, casino-style gambling,
country hoedowns, and Saturday
Morning coed fitness classes. The
funds needed to produce the center
are being derived from mailouts
sent to various citizens of
Greensboro. These funds are need
ed to provided a heating system, a
cooling system for dance floor, elec
trical work needed to accommodate
video games and amplifiers, pool
tables, ping pong, andvideomovies.
The adults exist in the plans simply
for funding and an advisory board.
“We want to phase the adults out,’’
said Molly Eisenman. In a memo
submitted by John R. Eisenman,
the following clause exists:
“It is important that our teenagers
feel from the very beginning that
this youth center is theirs. For this
reason every Junior and Senior
High School in Guilford County
will have a representative serving
on a Teen Board. It wll be up to
these representatives, along with
an adult Advisory Board, to set
policies and select activities for the
Center.”
“We want the center to have no
redeeming social vslue,” said Mrs.
