A students life initially starts as he enters first grade, however, it does not expand to envelop Grimsley until entering as a sopho- more and eventually exiting as a senior. Spaning those three years are some of the most cherished times of a students life. Of course, it includes study, in fact, contrary to what some seniors may tell you, study is a major part of senior high years. But what would high school be without football games and Homecoming weekends and late lunch at McDonalds, and skipping 1st peri- od for KK doughnuts fnote: everyone does this at some point - senior high would be devoid of meaning without doughnuts in the a.m.l Pep Rallies and Right On! Right On , varsity boys anything, the Grove, Blue and White forever, the alma-mater Khow many times have we pledged our faith and love and loyalty to the Great old Greensboro Grimsley Highl, more importantly how many times do you have left graduat- ing seniors? There were times outside of school when we went to concerts, attended parties, slaved at work, fitted in dating, din- ner with friends, after the winning football game, at Pizza Inn, and generally just hung around. This and more is the intent of Stu' dent Life to define beyond thought or impli- cation the happenings at the G.

WE'VE GOT TGNIGI-IT Aside from graduation and being a senior the most elaborately planned, most eagerly awaited event of one's senior high years is the junior-senior prom. lt is the one time when people could real- ly take it to the limit in dress, curfews, and partying. ln preparation at least, the prom was a more elaborately planned affair for the girls than the guys. After receiving the invitation, thoughts turned to the single most important detail of what dress to wear. Every girl at Grimsley was surely searching for a glorious Cinderella dress that would make her dreams come true. The young men chose their tuxedos, select- ed corsages, and saved money for their din- ners. All dressed up and somewhere to go, couples joined each other at Bryan Park for a night of romance and of fun. Each couple shared a special dance to the tunes of Ca- bacus, the band, at the 1983 prom. They had the night and after dancing 'til dawn, couples kept it alive by going to ears ly morning breakfasts. Afterwards all that was left were memo- ries of candlelit dinners and of one's head against a muscular shoulder or perhaps the feel of one's hands on a small waist, faded flowers pressed in an age-old memory book, and the evening of ones' senior prom. Taking it easy - Beth McCracken, Scott Smith, Beth Lucas, and Alan Atwell take a load oft their after a night of fun. t--5 fee ang -Q.,
