bringing Alumni together
Generations 3 … Helping Your School!
It’s the Fall of 2006, the start of another school year and time for another
generation of students to begin their journey through Grimsley High School,
for others to continue that journey, and for many, a time to prepare for and
celebrate the end of their high school years. It’s also another year to continue
our school’s tradition of outstanding achievements in academics, athletics
and the arts!
As we celebrate the accomplishments of this last year and the Class of 2006,
we kick off our third Generations Campaign, the Annual Fund for Greensboro
Grimsley. Your generous past support of our Generations Campaigns has
been instrumental in continuing the Grimsley tradition of excellence, as
we’ve been able to help the school in an impressive variety of ways … from
awarding student scholarships annually to providing faculty with grants for
special projects … from funding needs for the Media Center and the Drama
Departments to providing new textbooks for ROTC classes … from planting
new trees at Jamison Stadium to helping fund a nature trail on campus. These
are but a few examples of how your support has translated into fulfilling real
needs for the benefit of our school.
Our Annual Generations Campaign
is a time to raise awareness and
funding for Greensboro Grimsley
High School, to truly “make a
difference” for the new generations
of Grimsley students and faculty,
by supporting the school that has
always “made a difference” in the
lives of so many past generations.
You can help by volunteering to help
with the Campaign, by continuing
your personal financial support and
by spreading the word of the great
work your Alumni Association is
doing on behalf of your school.

We appreciate everything you do
to assist Greensboro Grimsley,
and we especially hope we are
always deserving of your financial
support. There are many school
needs that cannot be funded from
limited school budgets, but with
your help, we continue to turn some
of those “hopes and dreams” into
reality. Thank you for volunteering
for and giving to our Generations
Campaign!

Generations
Campaign
Schedule…
Volunteers Needed!
Our 3rd Annual Generations
Campaign kicked off with a Class
Captains meeting on September
20th. Each Class Captain will
write to selected classmates and
ask for their continued help, and
we hope you will all respond as
generously as you have in the
past.
We can always use more
volunteers! If you would like
to join your Class Captains
and help us connect with even
more classmates and send
out even more letters, please
advise us when you send in your
contribution. We do have fun
talking with classmates!
Campaign letters will be mailed
by the end of October. We look
forward to your contributions
and to recognizing you in our
future newsletters … and thank
you for talking us up to your
fellow Alumni and friends of
Grimsley as well!
Music Building Dedicated to
Herbert Hazelman
March of 2005 saw the historic
dedication of our music facility to
become the Herbert R. Hazelman
Music Building, a crowning
achievement for the renowned
educator and legendary music
leader who served as band director
at Greensboro Grimsley for 40 years.
Mr. Hazelman has had a truly
profound impact on the lives of
countless students and on the music
community in Greensboro and
beyond. Respected for his positive
influence, he always encouraged
students to achieve through music
discipline and education, and many
of his students have gone on to
excel in the music world. His legacy
includes not only music education
but a history of composing a number
of pieces of music, including the
Grimsley Alma Mater.
Your Alumni Association is proud to
have contributed to the preservation
of the memory of Herbert Hazelman
in this way, which will allow
generations of Grimsley students
to appreciate his impact on the
Greensboro music scene.

Grimsley Star
Alumni Spotlight …
Battles Back
Polk, a three sport athlete and
Dr. Thomas Penland OJ
1984 Grimsley graduate, suffered
Our Grimsley Spotlight shines on
Dr. Thomas Penland, our principal
from 1993-1996. During his tenure,
not only was the IB Diploma
Program introduced but planning
for your Alumni Association was
also begun. Dr. Penland is currently
the Superintendent of two foreign
schools in South Korea but still
maintains a home in Greensboro,
and was gracious enough to be
“interviewed” via email for this
article.
Among his fondest memories are
Student Council “Lunch on the
Lawn” events and students coming
early in the morning before school
to study “Classical Greek” with Dr.
Frost. He also recalls “being the
Wizard of Oz in the school play
… and also members of the Jazz
band and the regular band with Ms.
Force surprising me at the airport
when I arrived back from a three
week trip to Asia to collect my
dissertation research and attend the
IB World Conference in Indonesia.
I remember the IB exploration trips
with our Grimsley faculty members.
We talked during those trips about
‘world class’ education and how
to make Grimsley better … it was
a great time to get to know one
another and appreciate the diversity
in the group.”
Dr. Penland says that “all of the
teachers were inspirational …
experienced teachers who were not
‘stuck in the old ways’ but who truly
were lifelong learners always looking
for ways to improve their craft of
teaching. But the students were who
made my days. They were always
pushing us upward and forward. I
remember the student body taking
on the challenge of having ‘lunch
buddies’ with the Autistic classroom
students. I was so inspired by the
leaders of the school taking time
to build relationships with these
students. It inspires me still today.”
”Grimsley taught me … that quality
education occurs when you get well
trained faculty members motivated
to work together to do the best they
can with their students,” says Dr.
Penland. “Grimsley taught me to
believe in student leaders more than
ever and to let them have leadership
responsibilities. Grimsley taught me
no matter how big the school, you
can still have a real community.”
Dr. Penland arrived at the Taejon
Christian International School in
1996, when the school had 200
students K-12 with 30 boarding
students; it now has over 600
students with over 200 boarding
students, and is one of the largest
international boarding schools in
Asia (visit the school’s website at
www.tcis.or.kr). He and his team
just opened the Gyeonggi Suwon
International School in Suwon,
South Korea, just south of Seoul.
A project in partnership with the
Gyeonggi Provincial Government
and the Suwon City government,
which donated land and funding for
construction, the school opened this
fall with just over 100 students in
grades K-8 (visit this school via the
website at www.gsis.sc.kr).
Dr. Penland is a truly outstanding
representative of the Grimsley spirit
of excellence around the world
… from all of us at the Alumni
Association you helped create,
thank you for your inspiration and
leadership!

damage to his spinal column in a
freak softball accident earlier this
year and is undergoing rehabilitation
at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta.
His costly rehab has generated
several Greensboro-based efforts to
raise funds for his assistance; one
softball tournament has been played
and another is scheduled. Clayton
Nance, a former Grimsley teacher
who retired from Page as a teacher
and coach of many years, will be
coordinating a basketball tournament
when that season arrives.
Phil Weaver visited OJ in Atlanta
this summer and was buoyed by his
amazingly positive attitude. Initially
paralyzed from the neck down, OJ
can now move his arms and hands
well and can slightly wiggle the toes
on his right foot. OJ hopes that as
the spinal cord swelling goes down,
he can once again regain full use of
all of his body.
His great attitude has helped him to
accept that rehab will be a lengthy
process. OJ was injured while sliding
headfirst into third base, and that
hard-nosed hustle reflects the fact
that he is a tough athlete from a very
athletic family. In fact, many of our
Alumni went to school with a Polk
because there have been eight of
them!
OJ is not a rich man, except in
the sense of how many friends he
has and of the great family that
supports him. For your information,
the “Jay Polk Medical Expense
Fund” is being accumulated at the
NC State Employees Credit Union
(account number 60171453) to help
defray expenses at the Shepherd
Center, where OJ may be reached
by phone at 404-352-2020 (room
316) or through an email link at
www.shepherdcenter.org.

A Love Story,
Grimsley Style
They both graduated in 1941 …
Phil Newman and Aurelia “Chick”
Dunstan … but they were never in
the same class or activities; in fact,
they rarely saw each other at school.
They had but one date, and with
graduation they went their separate
ways: Phil to New Jersey and the
Air Force, Aurelia to the University
of Georgia and then to Florida. They
each married, had children, lived
their separate lives and survived
early widowhood.
In May 1991, the Class of ’41
celebrated their 50th reunion. Phil
and Chick sat next to each other at a
table … they could hardly take their
eyes off each other, but that was as
far as the old friendship went. Over a
decade later Phil saw in the Grimsley
Alumni News that Aurelia, now a
widow in Gainesville, had published
another book. He sent a friendly
letter which turned into a year of
letters and even more frequent
telephone conversations, and after
a year flew to Florida to see Chick.
Within 15 minutes, he popped the
question and 64 years after their only
date, they were engaged.

Today Phil and Chick are happily
married in Gainesville, enjoying their
years together and living a true story
of romance like no other, Grimsley
grads reunited after decades apart.
May they always be an inspiration to
us all!

Campaign Funds First Association Endowment
Fall 2005 saw your Alumni Association
Board vote to establish an Alumni
Association Endowment Fund and to
adopt as a goal the annual allocation
to that Fund from general Alumni
Association revenues of at least $10,000.
In early 2006, your Association partnered
with the Community Foundation of
Greater Greensboro (CFGG) in the
formation of the Grimsley Alumni
Association Endowment Fund.
CFGG, through our Fund, offers the
Association expert financial management
at a reasonable cost, with economics
of scale that result in a more favorable
return and more reasonable management
fees.
With the consent of the founders of
these separate Funds, the Association
has also established with CFGG (1) the
Grimsley Melvin G. Coleman Scholarship
Endowment Fund and (2) the Grimsley
Larry Saunders Teaching Award Fund,
awards that are annually determined
and announced by the Association.
If you would like to contribute to any
www.whirlies.com
of our Endowment Funds through the
Generations Campaign, please make
your check payable to the “Greensboro
Grimsley High School Alumni
Association,” mark it for the “Endowment
Fund,” the “Coleman Scholarship Fund”
or the “Saunders Teaching Award Fund,”
and mail it to GHS Alumni and Friends
Association, PO Box 4248, Greensboro,
NC 27404-4240. Thank you for all you
do to help us build our Endowments
for future use in helping Greensboro
Grimsley High School!
Q&A With Our Alumni … Coach Bob Sawyer
What was your first memory of
Greensboro Grimsley?
I came as a 10th grader when
Greensboro Senior was the only high
school in the city, with all five Junior High
Schools graduating students that would
all attend the high school. I remember
how great it was to compete with, rather
than against, all the kids you had known
from the five Junior High Schools in
Greensboro. We were all together for the
first time and that was a great feeling.
Were there special people that made
a significant impact on you over your
student years?
Q
What was the sports scene in
Greensboro like at that time?
Since we were the only high school,
I remember that every football game
had huge publicity. It was a big deal, a
show that brought everybody together.
At that time, Jamieson Stadium, which
had been built just 3 years before, was
the place to be. And the rivalries were
between cities, since each city had just
one high school … we created lots of instate interest with our non-conference
games against Raleigh, Durham
and Rocky Mount. Our rivalries with
Winston-Salem Reynolds and Burlington
were spirited, but we played even harder
against High Point Central, because that
game was for bragging rights in Guilford
County.
I remember A.P. Routh as a principal
who truly loved the school. And my
swimming coach Patrick Earey was
a great mentor and a superb coach
who went on to coach at Carolina. Of
course, Bob Jamieson was making lots
of things happen and creating a great
sports tradition at the school, one that I
enjoyed being a part of. I concentrated
on swimming at Greensboro Senior
and was fortunate enough to be on a
couple of state championship teams and
to win two state titles in the 100 yard
backstroke.
What are you proudest of as far as
Grimsley is concerned?
A
&
When did you return to work at
Greensboro Grimsley?
I was set to come back in the fall of
1960 as a teacher and swimming coach,
but chose to pursue a Master’s degree
through a fellowship at the University
of Tennessee. I finally joined the staff
in 1961 as a business teacher, and also
coached cross country, track, swimming
and football. During my years as coach,
we won 15 straight state swimming
titles and I think that’s a record that
still stands. In 1975 I became Athletic
Director, a position that required me
to make the tough decision to stop
coaching but one that I enjoyed for the
next 24 years until I retired in 1999.
The thing I have most enjoyed is
continuing the tradition of excellence
that Bob Jamieson started. I was only
the second Athletic Director in the
school’s history and I tried to further
his legacy of having a balanced athletic
program, competitive across all sports
for both boys and girls. I’ve also been
proud of the way that alumni and parents
have supported our efforts to maintain
and renovate our facilities, the best in
the city.
Any final words?
I couldn’t have done what I did without
the support of my wife Susan, who was
the “real” AD and a full time helper. She
spent almost as much time at Grimsley
as I did and I can honestly say I couldn’t
have had a better wife or helpmate.

Whirlie Athletes Shine in
Spring 2006 and Beyond!
by Joe Franks
The Whirlies continued strong
play in conference and at the state
level in the Spring 2006 seasons!
Women’s Soccer and Men’s Tennis
both won Metro conference titles,
with Men’s Golf also a co-champion.
The Soccer team made it to the third
round of the state playoffs, Men’s
Tennis was Regional Runner-up and
Men’s Golf won the Regional and
qualified for their sixth consecutive
State Tournament (the longest
current streak of appearances in 4A).
Now that’s Whirlie success!
As you know, the Alumni Association
speaks of excellence at Grimsley
with the 3 A’s – Academics, Arts and
Athletics – and the class of 2006
student-athletes represented our
school with great pride. Among the
athletic award winners were …
Lauren Atkinson, winner of the J.W.
Tankersley Award, given in memory
of Dr. Tankersley’s 40+ years of
service to Grimsley. Lauren played
both tennis and soccer and was
always one of Grimsley’s biggest
fans. She and her friends could often
be found traveling all over the area to
watch various Grimsley teams and
help generate school spirit.
The Pat Addison Award, given to
the best Grimsley female athlete,
was presented to Angela Hasz.
Without a doubt, she was one of the
best softball players we have had
since the 1985 State Championship.
Angela was involved in many areas
of campus life and is just a super
person.
Colin Sherwood won the Raymond
Johnson Award, given in memory of
Coach J who loved kids that made
the most of their ability. A football
and lacrosse player, Colin was a
hard working, tough nosed kid who
pushed his teammates to be better
and helped his teams excel.
Brandon Peguese received the Roger
Hobbs Award, given in memory
of a student who lost a battle with
cancer. Brandon persevered through
some tough times to be one of the
best defensive linemen we have had
here since Ruben Davis (UNC & NFL)
… he is also one of the nicest people
you could ever meet.
The John Dewey Award, given in
memory of John’s battle with cancer,
was presented to Charles Irvin. From
knowing John Dewey as I grew up,
I know that he would have been a
real fan of Charles on the football
and lacrosse fields. Charles always
did whatever was asked of him with
a positive outlook and was a real
leader; he is also one of the most
conscientious kids I have had the
pleasure of working with over my
20+ years at GHS.
www.whirlies.com
Robert Lane, a legend at Grimsley,
received the McDaniel Lewis Award
given to our best male athlete.
Robert was undoubtedly the best
football player we have had here in
over two decades, and we’ve had
some really good ones. He was
also a superb lacrosse player, and
he far surpassed all expectations
throughout his career at Grimsley.
Our athletic programs are already
off to very successful Fall 2006
seasons and we hope you get the
opportunity to visit campus and
attend one of our games, meets
or matches. Thanks again for your
support of Grimsley and our Alumni
Association … GO WHIRLIES!!
All Grimsley alumni,
parents, family and friends
are invited to join the
Grimsley Athletics
Booster Club …

athletic program! Go to
