Baur marries Hunziker
by Carrie Milgrim
To the surprise of everyone at
Grimsley, on April 4 Dr. Bonny
Baur married Mr. Jerry Hun
ziker, a landscape architect from
St. Joseph, Michigan. The couple
was married at 7 p.m. in a chapel
in Dillon, S.C. When asked why
the wedding was not publicized,
Mrs. Hunziker stated, “It would
have made me nervous. I was
nervous anyway!”
The two were introduced by a
mutual friend about two years
ago in South Bend, Indiana. This
was just before Baur came to
Greensboro.
The wedding had been planned
for the past two or three months,
but only the couple, the families.
and the two witnesses, Bobby and
Nel Matthews, knew in advance.
As it turned out only the bride
and groom and the Matthews
were present for the ceremony.
The Hunzikers decided on Dillon
because of the accessibility and
the privacy if offered.
Although there was no formal
honeymoon, the two traveled to
Michigan to see the groom’s
parents.
Hunziker has been introduced
to students and faculty. He was at
the Valentine’s dance two years
ago and has also attended several
basketball games and was pre
sent for Novis Baur’s graduation
from Grimsley two years ago.
Baur plans to use her hus
band’s name after the close of the
school year. For right now, she
prefers to be “Dr. Baur.”
Probably the question on the
minds of all Grimsley student is
Baur’s plans for next year. One
factor that may determine the
answer is Mr. Hunziker’s land
scape business.
It is a 150 year old business that
he doesn’t plan to give up or
relocate, but it is seasonal with
the busiest time being from April
to October. It is closed during the
winter. “At this moment,” said
the GHS leader, “I plan to remain
at Grimsley.

Whirlie Week committee members plan for future
Possibly the two most exciting
days at GHS are still to take
place. Scheduled in the upcoming
agenda of spring events is
‘Whirlie Week” which will be
held April 29 thru May 3. The
final two davs of the week will be
the most action packed. The ac
tivities planned for both fun filled
days will take place during first-
third periods and fifth-sixth
periods.
The festivities will officially
begin with indoor “Olympics” on
Thursday. Students will then go
to lunch and fourth period only.
Afterwards they will return to see
the boys (some men) show “what
they’ve got” in the “Mr. Whirlie”
contest.
Friday morning the events will
begin again with the outdoor
Olympics. That same afternoon a
sock hop will be held in the main
gym. In order to officially end the
two memorable days a luau will
be held from 5:30 to 7:30 Friday
night in the grove.
This years’ class Olympics will
consist,of ten events; five to be
held indoors and five outdoors.
The indoor Olympics will be in
the main gym. The events are an
“eating” contests (boys and
girls), the tangle “Human Mat,”
pillow fighting on a balance
beam, medley relay, and egg and
spoon race. Along with the Olym
pics will be the presentation of
the spring sports teams and the
introduction of the new 1985-86
cheerleaders.
The outdoor Olympics will be
held in Jameson Stadium. The
events will consist of an obstacle
course, a sack race, a shopping
cart race, a greased watermelon
throw, and a girls and boys tug-o-
war. The administration will also
battle the teachers in tug-o-war.
All the events are not only design
ed for the pleasure of the par
ticipants but also for the enjoy
ment of the crowd. At the end of
the Olympics, winners will
receive awards.
The “Mr. Whirlie” contest will
be a competition between three
seniors, three juniors, and three
sophomores. Nominations were
first submitted April 18. To con
tinue each contestant will have to
be among the top three in his
class in dime collections. The
persons who nominate each con
testant must collect dimes if she
wants her nominee to be one of
the final contestants. The
finalists will compete in four
categories: formal dress, swim
suit, talent, and interview. The
winner will receive a prize of $50.
The judges in the contest will be
ivell known members of the com
munity.
The sock hope is the final ac
tivity to be held Friday after
noon. The dance will be held in
the main, gym with plenty of
dance-floor. At the same time a
carnival will be put on by the ser
vice clubs in the upper part of the
gym. A store will be open to sell
leftovers at discount prices. Fri
day will also be ‘’crazy feet day’
with a prize given to the person
with the wildest foot apparel.
As a topping to the multi
layered cake, a luau has been
planned for Friday night. A fee
will be charged and the precedes
will go to the basketball team’s
trip to China.
Prom night-*'One More Night
by Yvette Cook
The prom, that last and largest
dance of high school, calls for
special preparation to make the
event a memorable one. -
Such preparation at GHS began
in late March with the Youth
Recreation Council, led by Chair
man Lori Singer, planning an
elegant atmosphere appropriate
for this year’s prom theme “One
More Night.” This year’s
prom will be held May 24 at the
Bryan Park Enrichment Center.
Bryan Park employees usually
decorate for the prom. They will
be in charge of providing an
elegant atmosphere such as
candlelit individual tables. The
park also provides security
guards for the evening. These
necessities will cost GHS approx
imately $600. The PTSA will
serve the fruit punch and hors
d’oeurves for refreshments.
Another important aspect of
the prom involves the attire
which is traditionally formal. The
men usually choose to rent tux
edos. If you are planning this,
many formal wear rental shops
suggest tuxedo reservations be
made at least three weeks before
the prom date. A formal wear
shop at Friendly Shopping
Center, rents tuxedos ranging
from $44.95 to $59.95.
Going out to dinner before ar
riving at the prom is another
tradition. There are several din
ing establishments in Greensboro
for such a formal occasion. Some
popular restaurants include
Giovanni’s, Market Street West,
The Marriot, Franklin’s Off
Friendly, London’s, The
Sheraton, 'The Library, or a local
country club.
Some promgoers may choose
limousine service as another
means of transporation to the
park complex which is located off
the Summit Avenue extension.
One limousine service located on
N. Elm Street charges $105 for a
minimum of three hours. Any ex
ceeding hour is an additional $35.
According to the limousine ser
vice, often times more than one
couple will collaborate with the
fee and share the limousine.
