Support Your School Through …
Generations
2008
Once again, it is my honor and
privilege to kickoff our Generations
Annual Fund campaign by thanking
you for your generous support
over the past years. Your Alumni
Association connects with you in so
many ways, and we truly appreciate
your support of our many activities
on behalf of our excellent school!
Our activities continue to focus on
using your generous contributions
responsibly and effectively, promoting
excellence in the arts, academics and
athletics, and working hard in support
of the students, faculty and alumni of
Grimsley. Included with this newsletter
is a pledge card (see back page) and
return envelope, which hopefully will
make it easy for you to make your
contribution to this year’s campaign.
In the past year, we have again awarded
our student and special scholarships,
faculty grants, and teacher of the year
award. We have also been able to
add funds to our Endowment fund,
while establishing new scholarships
founded by our fantastic alumni and
administered through our organization.
In addition to our usual support for
such events as Project Graduation and
the Senior Tea, we’ve also provided
funding help for projects like gifts to the
Media Center for books, water testing
kits for our science classes, new trees
for Jamieson Stadium, new ROTC
textbooks, funds for new Whirlie logos
around campus, and an LCD projector
for multi-media presentations, to name
just a few.
Importantly, we were able to provide
greatly needed and appreciated funds
for Grimsley DECA as you’ll see in this
newsletter. This monetary support for
DECA was a wonderful example of our
funding goals, as it allowed Marketing
teacher Atiba Bethea the means to
provide financial assistance to nearly
half of his students, allowing them to
attend and compete successfully at the
NC Career Development Conference.
As we launch our 2008 campaign, with
your support we continue to build our
reserves, fund our scholarship obligations,
and look to take on even more worthwhile
projects. We will continue to expand our
Generations Annual Fund efforts and
ask for your help in spreading the word
about this campaign to all of your fellow
Grimsley alumni and parents. Grimsley
High School is recognized locally and
regionally as a “school of distinction”,
a model of success for the community,
again one of Newsweek’s Top 100 high
schools in America, and is highly respected
by colleges and universities around the
country. Your connection to Grimsley
is something you can be extremely
proud of. We hope that this sense
of pride, your memories, and your
gratitude will encourage you to help
us improve and grow, to continue the
traditions of Grimsley through your
support of our Generations Annual
Fund!
Sincerely,
Rick Andringa
Alumni Association President

Kevin Fleming
Grimsley’s Not So New Principal
In July, 2007 Kevin F. Fleming became the 23rd principal
since 1899 at Greensboro Grimsley High School,
replacing interim principal, John Eldgridge. Mr. Fleming
came to Grimsley after serving as Principal at Fallston
High School in Fallston, Maryland.
Mr. Fleming has come to Grimsley at one of its most
challenging times and hopes to bring both stability and
opportunities to the students who call it home. He wants
the seniors, the Class of 2008, in particular, to have the
same respect and appreciation for the institution of
Greensboro Grimsley Senior High School that so many
of the old and new alumni have always had.
Mr. Fleming has shared with the Alumni Association
that he greatly enjoyed both his high school years along
with the years he spent as a high school principal and
hopes to bring that love of the institution of high school
to his job at Grimsley. He took the job here initially
because of his attraction to the age and history surrounding
Grimsley. His appreciation of our history has made him the
perfect candidate to move Grimsley into its next phase of
development.
Keving Fleming hopes to continue reaching new standards
of excellence along with implementing new programs
including senior projects, advisees and master tutors. He
has been most impressed with the student body and faculty
of our school. He likes the joy he sees in the morning and
the respect that the faculty, staff and students show for
one another throughout the day. He has seen in one short
semester what those of us who love Grimsley have known
all along: it is a great place to learn and grow and that feeling
remains with you the rest of your life.
Mr. Fleming is married and has one daughter, Jennifer, along
with a grandson, Colin.

Grimsley DECA
Showcases Students!
In a letter to the GHSAA and the
PTSA, Mr. Atiba Bethea, GHS
Marketing
Teacher
and
DECA
Advisor, thanks the groups for
their support in 2007 … DECA is
an association for marketing and
entrepreneurial students sponsored
by the Department of Education:
“I’m truly excited and humbled to be
able to update you on the success
of Grimsley DECA at this year’s state
competition.
Your
contributions
allowed us to be able to provide
financial assistance to 9 of the 21
students that registered to attend
this competitive events conference.
Our school was definitely well
represented, with 15 of our student
attendees
receiving
Proficiency
Awards in their respective events,
and Grimsley DECA receiving the
Silver Chapter Award for this year’s
program of work. We were the only
chapter in the Triad Area, which
spans from Davie County to Wake
County and up to the Virginia border,
to receive this prestigious Silver
Award.
You should also know that your
contributions led to the crowning of
Grimsley’s 1st ever State Champion
… Ms. Victoria Collins walked away
from this conference as the 1st place
winner in the Employability Skills
Associate Level (ESAL) category.
Without your assistance, she would
not have had the opportunity to show
the NC DECA what she was made
of.
Grimsley DECA truly appreciates the
monetary support received from the
Alumni Association and PTSA groups.
The memories that you helped my
students to create are priceless, and
we look forward to working with both
organizations in the future!”
Help Us Build our Endowment!
Two years ago, the Board of the Grimsley
Alumni Association voted to establish an
endowment fund and adopted as a goal
of the Association the annual allocation
to that fund from general revenues
of at least $10,000. In early 2006, the
Association partnered with the Community
Foundation of Greater Greensboro (CFGG)
in the formation of the Grimsley Alumni
Association Endowment Fund (Fund),
with $10,000 from the Association’s 2005
budget employed to open that Fund. This
amount has been supplemented with
additional contributions each year since.
CFGG, through the Fund, offers the
Association expert financial management
at a reasonable cost.
The Fund is combined with other funds
of CFGG for investment purposes and
allocated its pro rata share of the investment
income, net of an investment fee.
Economies of scale result in more favorable
returns and more reasonable management
fees.
With the consent of the founders of those
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, which awards are annually determined
and announced by the Association. If you
would like to contribute to any of these funds,
please make your check payable to the
“Greensboro Grimsley High School Alumni
Association,” mark it for the “Endowment
Fund,” “Coleman Scholarship Fund,” or
“Saunders Teaching Award Fund” and mail it
to GHS Alumni and Friends Association, P. O.

Plans are underway to produce and hang
new banners in the Robert R. Sawyer ‘55
Gymnasium, representing our 95 state
championship teams and five Wachovia
Cup wins! Our goal is not only to honor
these teams, but also to inspire current
and future Whirlie athletes. The planned
installation will include 62 banners, with
championships listed chronologically
beginning with our first football
championship in 1907. The design for
the banners as well as the installation
will allow for our future titles to be added
easily.
The impact will be terrific … but we
need YOUR help to make this project
happen! The total cost for the banners
will be approximately $12,000, and you
can honor with your gift ANY GHS team
or teams, player, or coach you wish …
it does not have to be only one of the
state championship teams … choose a
full-banner sponsorship for $170, a halfbanner sponsorship for $85, a quarterbanner sponsorship for $45, or a oneeighth-banner sponsorship for $25.
While the banners will include only the
state championship teams and Wachovia
Cup wins, the specific team(s) or person
you choose to honor will be included in
all acknowledgments. To help sponsor
this project with a tax-deductible
donation, please make checks out to
“GHS Alumni Association,” with “Gym
Banners Fund” on the memoria line.
Please include the name(s) or team(s)
you wish to honor.

Tuttle Portrait Planned
Adding to our impressive portraits
recognizing Herbert Hazelman (GHS
Band Director from 1936-1942 & 19441978) and J. Kimball Harriman (GHS
Orchestra Director from 1941-1964),
an effort is now underway to recognize
Eula
Tuttle,
GHS’s
extraordinary
Choral Director from 1943-1966, with
her own portrait!
A committee has organized a fundraising effort to enable “Tuttle’s” portrait
to be painted, with the cost expected to
be over $8,000. We are again working
with the well-known portrait artist Tom
Edgerton, whose paintings are especially
prized because of his ability to capture
the personality of his subjects. Tom
painted both the Hazelman and Harriman
portraits for us as well, and he is looking
forward now to completing the trio.
Please consider making a tax-deductible
donation to the Tuttle-portrait fund, as
we need to have a sizeable number of
donations in-hand as soon as possible.
The Greensboro/Grimsley Senior High
School Alumni Association has agreed
to help us process our donations and
assure their tax-deductibility, making it
easy for you to contribute. If you would

Did You Know?
You can make your Generations Campaign contributions in honor
of someone you care about or as a memorial to an individual
who has passed away. We ask you to clearly state your intent
in writing when making your contribution, so we can list you not
only in our list of donors but in our Memorials and In Honor Of
sections. Thank you for considering this way to commemmorate
people you would like remembered in a special way.
Ruth and John Comer (Greensboro Senior High Class
of 1952) and their 4 Grimsley graduates represent
all that is good about public education. This family’s
commitment to Greensboro Grimsley High School has
always been and continues to be truly exceptional. For
decades, they have been working to keep Grimsley
one of the most outstanding high schools in North
Carolina.
Ruth and John began as many of us do, when their
children were students here. But unlike many of us,
they have continued volunteering for Grimsley over
the 19 years since their last child graduated. The time
and effort spent at Grimsley by the Comer Family is
almost unimaginable … just remember they started
volunteering at Grimsley before today’s students were
even born!
We have all been lucky that the Comers made
Greensboro Grimsley a part of their family. In fact,
Ruth and John have worked with and coordinated the
efforts of countless thousands of volunteers. And in
doing that, they have been the greatest role models for
the spirit of school volunteerism that keeps Grimsley
so special.
The Comers truly are an inspiration to us all. For their
service and love to our beloved Greensboro Grimsley
High School, the Grimsley Alumni Association was
pleased to dedicate the concessions building at the
main entrance of Jamieson Stadium to the Comer
Family. As thousands of people pass through our
stadium gates … whether it be for the East West All

Grimsley Sports . . . Going Strong!
Reflecting on the 2007 fall and winter seasons, the Whirlies continued
strong play in the conference and at the state level. The Women’s Swim
team finished 4-1, placed second in the conference and seventh at the
regionals. TheMen’sSwimteamfinishedtheseasonundefeatedat5-0,
placed first in the conference, fourth at the regionals and sixth at the
state level. Myles Oliver won first place in the 50 free style at the state
meet and Myles, Adam Nussbaum, William Ruhm and James Genry
placed first in the 200 free relay.
At press time, our Women’s Basketball team continues to burn
up the nets with an undefeated record (a first for Grimsley
basketball) and Little 4 Tournament Championship. Following
lastyear’srecordsetting30-2recordandastaterunner-upfinish,
Phil Weaver has his team primed for a run again. This is, without
a doubt, the best Women’s basketball team in the rich history
of Grimsley High School. We have four Division I signees on
this team - Trumae Lucas, a first team all-state player (Florida),
NicoleHargraves(Charlotte),JasmineAlston(Wilmington)and
Krystin Fields (Towson St.). Our Men’s basketball team also
placed first in the regular season league and has advanced to
the conference tournament.
The Whirlies soccer program under Coach Matt Martineau returned
to dominance in the Metro Conference and went through the state
playoffs to finish as 4A runner-up. Excitement was in the air about
football with new coach Mark Saunders. The Whirlies had their
third consecutive outstanding season posting an 11-2 record. Our
volleyball, tennis and golf teams also capped off great seasons by
advancing to the state playoffs.
We should all be proud of our student-athletes. The amount of time

Reflections on GHS, June 2007
by Roxanne Neumann ‘07
(now a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)
How do I put into words what my time at Grimsley Senior High School has meant to me
and how it has helped me to become who I am today? My time in high school revolved
around athletics. As a three-year member of the varsity volleyball team and a four-year
member of the varsity women’s basketball team, including three years as captain, I
learned almost as much on the court as I did in the classroom. Although excited about
what my future holds at Carolina, I’m taking with me memories and friendships from
Grimsley that are sure to last a lifetime.
After an extremely rough and interesting freshman year on the basketball team … when
the team pulled-off a total of just seven wins … I leave Grimsley now with a basketball
family that has accomplished feats that had never before been done at Grimsley. After a
disappointing loss in 2006 to High Point Central in the second round of the state play-offs,
our team entered the 2006-2007 season with the goal of a state-championship title. We
finished the regular season with a record of 23-1, our only loss to Page in a non-conference
game in overtime on a last-second shot. We were back-to-back undefeated champions
of the Metro-4A Conference and two-time conference-tournament champions. The
team was on a roll going into the 2007 state play-offs with our goal in sight. We cruised
through the first games at home, won two big games in Winston-Salem, and were on our
way to the state-championship game to be played in Chapel Hill. Grimsley had never had
a women’s basketball team make it that far in the play-offs nor post such an impressive
record at that point as ours at 30-1. Although we suffered a heart-breaking loss in the
finals, I can think of no better way to end my basketball career than in the gym of my
future school and with the people I love most in this world.
Together for three years, my teammates became my family. There was never a dull
moment when we were together, whether it was on the court, in the classroom, at pregame meals at my house or at restaurants, to team sleep-overs or karaoke at Ham’s.
These girls are some of my best friends and have given me more memories than I could
ever count.
I am also proud to say that the Class of 2007 came together in a time of need, a few
months before graduation. While a class full of little cliques, after the passing of one
of our beloved classmates Trae Whittset, our class joined together to help each other
through. Having Trae in three of my classes at the time, it was rough to comprehend that
he was no longer with us. Making it even rougher was the fact that this was right in the
middle of the basketball state play-offs. The day following his death, our team was to play
in Winston in the regional semi-finals. Physically and emotionally drained by the end of
the day, those of us on the team who were close with Trae were able to pull it together
thanks to the support of our teammates and classmates who drove over for the game.
Trae would have wanted us to bring it home and I know he was there watching us to
make sure that we did.
There is no other high school in the world I would have chosen as the place to live out
my high school days. Grimsley will always hold a special place in my heart!
