Opening days at GHS are a hectic alloy of registration and reviving old friendships HUBBUB of homerooms subsides — but briefly—during the inevitable morning announcements. It is only after these informative messages that a day at Grimsley officially begins. MYSTERIES of GHS are graphically explained to new students in Civitan handbooks, which answer almost every possible sophomore query. ONE REWARD for a tedious wait in line on Registration Day is being admitted to a favorite class. Page 9

Many varying courses in the general field of English are offered at GHS. Imaginative students may embark upon a semester of creative writing or an intensive study of Shakespeare. Participants in speech and dramatics classes develop persuasive oratorical or acting abilities. Fundamental English courses seek to improve our basic understanding of the English language. The glories of King Arthur’s Court are disclosed to theme-writing sophomores. Juniors follow the development of American literature, and autobiographical seniors retrace the footsteps of Chaucer’s Canterbury pilgrams. PLENTIFUL resources and quiet surroundings contribute greatly to a student’s success in library research. DIAGRAMS are simple but graphic aids to clarify sentence structure. Page 11
