Can't you see I'm studying? James Summers looks up from his deep concentration only to be caught by the Whirlie camera. Stony Stare. From the look on Alice Hardin's face, it seems she's had too much studying for one day. E s S' GRIMSLEY WI-IIRLIES MAKE TI-IE GRADE Study - the word conjures up many dif- ferent imagesg staying up late to cram for a test, or making a quick review in home- room. We all study at differing times, in un- usual places, and use various methods. Some students hit the books at 3:30 when they walk in the door. Others need a breather and like to relax before they get down to serious business. A typical study scene is books all over the floor and papers everywhere. Or there's the organized student who neatly places his materials on a table. One popular way to study is to listen to the radio while relaxing with a bag of chips. Or there's the ever-popular way of studying on the phone with a friend. Unfortunately, most of the time neither of these seems to work. Phone conversations tend to wander away from tomorrow's English test, and into the subject of girls, guys, and general gos- sip. Students all have different methods of learning. Some memorize, some use lists, and many like to be quizzed on the subject. As we prepare for college, study is be- coming more and more essential. It may seem as though our long road of studying is nearly complete, but as our future college years will prove, we've only just begun. lf - f fi ffl? it W , ,.,, as ' .f xxx Q ' 'tag r ,, 1 ,zz ....,...4W . ,,,, A ip ' --A.

How 'bout them Whirlies - Whirlie spiriters spread the news through word of mouth. I-IOMECOMING DANCE A GREAT WRAP UP FOR FALL Out of sightl Admiring couples watch and wonder at Up, up and away - climbs Michele Martorano as the courts solo dance she helps secure the wispy streamers in place. Homecoming, the word in itself suggests the return to something comfortableg a nat- ural warmth - the return home. Perhaps Grimsley was not our true home, but it was certainly our home away from home. So, the fall season represents our return to Grimsley Senior Highg and the event which represents best this return, is Homecoming week and the dance. A court was chosen which personified the superlative girls of the schoolg the ones who had served Grims- ley best in their last 3 years. A spirit week preceded the Homecoming game and the entire event culminated in a dance. For all, the Homecoming celebration revived the pride and love in the school. lnitially then that explains Homecoming except that the past year was a little di- verse in its' planning and in its' happening. First of all rain once again peppered the crowd, the court, and of course the playersg but that is to be expected. The dance was held for the first time on a Saturday night instead of immediately following the game. Tamera Majors was crowned Homecoming Queen with Kay Miller and Pam Utter as her maids of honor. The dance was a huge success even though an improvised treasure hunt was staged by Mr. Crowell as he fran- tically searched for the key to the coat room which was misplaced. Homecoming was certainly a time to be remembered for the tearful rejoicing and the bubbling laugh- ter. Homecoming Dance 19
