Guilford County Schools are now closed for the summer and high schools have bid farewell to their graduating seniors. The above photo was taken this past Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum, when 403 Grimsley High School students graduated. Featured in the photo are Student Body President Alex Anton and Senior Class President Georgia Little. They are leading the graduates in singing the alma mater. Herbert Hazelman, Grimsley's band director for 40 years, wrote the alma mater in 1949. When singing, students point up and to the right, in reference to their optimism toward the future.
Alex, a third generation Grimsley graduate, and Georgia, are all smiles. It has been a great year for them and they are confident that their four rigorous years at Grimsley have prepared them for college. Shall we join Alex and Georgia in one final singing of the alma mater? All hail to thee, Our alma mater strong, We'll sing thy praise through all the days, with triumphant song. All hail to thee, And as the days go by, We'll pledge our faith and love and loyalty, Greensboro Grimsley High. Congratulations to not only the Grimsley grads, but to all of the graduating seniors in the Guilford County Schools.
