New AGG Club
for girls only-
all welcomed
Girls, girls, girls, and still
more girls!!! Here’s the chance
to join the biggest, the greatest,
the grooviest “sorority” in
school. It’s called Associated
Grant Girls. That’s the new
name for the former Girls’
League, whose membership wel­
comes every girl at Grant.
To motivate broader in­
terest, AGG has established
a new organization struc­
ture that provides for joint
meetings of seniors and jun­
iors in one upper chamber,
and sophomores and fresh­
men in one lower chamber.
The reason for the new ar­
rangement is because it was felt
that a dual meeting set-up would
be more effective and result in
increased participation.
Another departure is the
selection of officers, which
calls for the automatic suc­
cession of each chamber
president to the cooperative
leadership shared by both,
eliminating previous posi­
tions of president and secre­
tary.
The purpose of AGG is to pro­
mote friendship among girls at
Grant and to be of some service
to the school and the community.
Becky Ward, current
president whose office will
eventually be dissolved by
the change, said, “Our main
goal this year is to get as
many girls involved in AGG
as possible and to have ac­
tivities that will interest
and include every girl at
Grant sometime during the
year.”
The traditional Big and Little
Sister party is set for October 23,
in which each freshman is as­
signed a senior who will act as
her big sister, during the Hal­
loween event.
Other activities through­
out the year include the
Valentine sale, Dress-up
day, slave auction, seminars
on make-up, hair care, etc.,
and for the first time, a
semi-formal and a comput­
er dance.
Any suggestions for AGG ac­
tivities will be appreciated and
should be sent to Helen Kap­
pler, AGG advisor.
Mike Soule selected as outstanding;
now eligible for trip, scholarship
Mike Soule, senior class presi­
dent; Bob Saltmen, student body
president; Kari Isaacson, Gen­
eral Council president, and
Kathy Fifield, student body sec­
retary, attended an Oregon Stu­
dent Council Workshop in Eu­
gene.
One hundred and twenty stu­
dents from all over Oregon at­
tended this conference. The
week was dedicated to helping
the students learn more about
leadership and understanding,
not just problems in their own
school but also in others.

of public instruction, sent Mike
Soule a letter informing him
that he had -been selected as one

Student Council Workshop. By

tion, .personal interview, written

I’ll never forget.”

Everyday new and different
ideas are being experimented
with. Last Friday night the
Grant High student body decided
to experiment with new ideas
and present a Black and White
Dance, featuring two bands. The
Cavaliers Unlimited, the black
band, opened the dance. Each
band played 20 minute intervals.
The Renegades, the white band,
closed the dance.
Experiments like this of­
ten arouse opinions some­
times good and others in­
sulting. When asked how
the student body felt about
the dance remarks like this
were made:
Mr. Galati commented, “I
was very pleased with results of
the dance. I was delighted with
the turnout of the crowd and
reactions of students to the
dance. Over 690 students attend­
ed the dance and the conduct
was generally satisfactory,” he
concluded.
“I thought the dance was
a crummy idea,” stated John
Richardson. “There should
have been just a white band
or black band—not both.
That is considered racism,”
he concluded.
Elwan Landers commented
that, “I thought the dance was
swell—really great. I did not
like the way each band played
only 20 minutes each. One
band should have played the
first half of the dance and the
other band should have played
the second half,” she concluded.
“I thought that the dance
should have been longer and
each band play half of the
dance, but I still liked the
dance a lot,” commented
Liz Lewis.
Carolyn Bremler stated that,
“It was a good idea but possibly

not as effective as it was hoped
to be. It was held to bring an
understanding between blacks
and whites and it seemed to
bring up more differences,” she
concluded.
“More dances of that type
gives a chance to hear both
black and white music and
there will be no prejudice
held,” commented Joyce
DeMonnin.
“I thought it was rather ri­
diculous. Why make an issue
out of something that doesn’t
need it,” stated Debbie Wierson.
Mr. Merryman commented that,
“I will be happy when there is
no such thing as black and white
—everyone will just be people.”
