Spinning replaces fig leaf
discussed by committee
by Jan Kelley
As soon as Adam and Eve got
tired of the fig leaf, they started
twitsting fibers together — so
started the art of spinning.
A dog started Mrs. Joseph
Miller’s interest in spinning. “I
bought a long-haired dog for
my son. The dog got hair all
over my rugs and just every­
where. I told my son that if I
had a spinning wheel I would
spin all this hair into a sweater
for him. My husband jokingly
bought me a spinning wheel and
that’s when my interest started,”
stated Mrs. Miller. Sweaters out
of dog hair and rugs of wool are
among the many things spun by
Mrs. Miller.
“I demonstrated at small
country schools and county fairs
mostly,” Mrs. Miller commented.
She will be at Grant showing
her skill in Mrs. Marjorie Pren­
dergast’s home economics class
November 6.
“I recently bought a small
schoolhouse outside of Damascus
where I am starting a pioneer
craft school. The machines will
not be just setting there, they
will be in operation so people
don’t have to wonder how they
are run,” Mrs. Miller stated.
All of the machines are an­
tiques and the schoolhouse in
which they will be located is of
1872 vintage. The items that are
made will be sold. Antique
cookery and weaving will also
be demonstrated.

SHOWN SPINNING WOOL on her “great wheel” is Mrs. Jo­
seph Miller, who will demonstrate her skills at Grant on No­
vember 6, The “great wheel” is only one of several spinning
wheels Mrs. Miller owns.
To update Grant’s code of con­
duct, dress, and appearance ar^,
the motives of the committee
formed by Dr. Roy O. Malo.
The committee, composed of
six students, two faculty mem­
bers and four parents, will study
other high school standards and
recommend a revised code to Dr.
Malo.
“Students were selected rep­
resenting moderate, conserva­
tive, and liberal standards. The
committee will write a code ac­
ceptable to the vast majority,”
stated John Stuckey who is
chairman of dress code commit­
tee.
Student members of the com­
mittee are: John Thompson,
sophomore; Kim Martin, junior;
and Julie Dilly, George Yerko-
vich, and Tom Zell, seniors. One
student is yet to be selected.
Adults are: Mrs. Phyllis Pitt­
man, P.T.A. President; Mrs.
Marty Zahlan, and Mrs. Carol
Anderson, members of the P.T.A.
board; John Bojinoff, past Dad’s
Club President; Mrs. Doris Han-

was demonstrated.
“It’s a terrific and worthwhile
hobby,” concluded Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller demonstrated the
art of spinning at Grant two
years ago in Mrs. Prendergast’s
home economics class.
“She brought two looms and
the first implement ever used for
spinning,” stated Mrs. Marjorie
Prendergast. Combing and card­

made harder by national competition
“When we are putting on an
assembly, we’re competing with
national television,” stated
George Galati, chairman of the
assembly committee.
The arguments that take place
at assembly committee meetings
are pure proof of the hard work
and thought that goes into the
making of an assembly.

“After an assembly one stu­
dent will walk up and say, ‘Gee,
Mr. Galati, that sure was a great
assembly’ and ten paces behind
him someone will say, ‘Can’t you
do any better than that?’ It’s
just a matter of personal opin­
ion,” Mr. Galati stated.
Making sure the assembly will
appeal to the majority of the
students and that it is enter­
taining as well as a learning sit­
uation are just two things that
must be considered by this com­
mittee composed of both faculty
members and students.

New drill team
adds more zip
to next games
Adding more spirit and tradi­
tion to football and basketball
games will be the Generalities,
a 53-girl dirll team.
Miss Diane Bigbe, who also
advises the Gendrills, instructs
the girls with the help of Mrs.
Ione Walker, physical education
teacher. The team also practices
with the pep band twice a week.
The first appearance of the
group will be made at the Grant-
Marshall football game tonight.
Costumes for the drill team
consist of solid blue kilts and
white short-sleeve bulky type
sweaters with a mock turtle
neck. White knee socks and ten­
nis shoes will also be worn. “We
plan to add next year to the uni­
forms,” stated Miss Helen Cher­
ry, business manager for the
Generalities.
The girls receive a P.E. credit
for their work.
Plans for the future are to
have the Rally, Gendrills, Gen­
eralities, and the band all per­
form together.
“I think this would be very
effective,” stated Mrs. Melva
Anderson, girls’ vice principal.
