Manners 101 Young students practice lady-like behavior during swank lunch BY JAESON PITT THE CHRONICLE Chin up, shoulders back, utensils in their proper place. Those were just a few rules that a select group of female North Forsyth High School students had to reme*iber last week as they ended their aca demic year with lunch at the swank Piedmont Club. The young ladies are members of a North Forsyth club that preaches the importance of etiquette and manners. The Piedmont Club event was the first time that many of the 16 students had the opportunity to put the skills they have learned to good use. Principal Ron Jessup creat ed the club with the help of members of the school's facul ty and staff. "We wanted.... to teach the girls some of the characteris tics of etiquette and also help them to grow into woman hood. Also, what it means to be a young lady with aspira tions and dreams. We've had various teachers to teach them about the value system and how to carry themselves as young ladies, how to dream big dreams, and how to become responsible leaders in our school," Jessup said. Atop the emerald-colored BB&T building, the Piedmont Club is the city's premier business and social gathering place. The spot, with its ele gant dining rooms overlook ing the city, provided the ulti mate proving grounds for the girls. The students were undaunted, though. They had RPflHIl North students and faculty dine at the Piedmont Club. prepared well. Club member Shandra Duncan said that she and the others had reviewed the prop er mannerisms that they have learned prior to the field trip. "Which utensils to use when* eating, the different types of forks and spoons," Duncan said, recalling the checklist students reviewed before the outing. The past school year was the pilot for the club. Although etiquette and trans forming girls into young ladies is a key mission, those who oversee the club have grander plans. "Later on, we will look for improvement in grades, com munity service, but we wanted to start out by making sure that these young ladies knew what it takes to represent themselves," said Sandra Amos, a counselor who helped to birth the program.
