Learnin process continues despite big break As the minutes ticked slowly by on .lune 1, almost every student daydreamed about :ing outdoors, instead of being cooped up in classroom. Finally, the bell rang and sum- mer was underway. But, for some students, immertime also meant summer work. Several students had their ups and downs. ttending a summer workshop had its hassles hen it came to the nitty-gritty of studying, ,lt students managed to find time to have in once studying was finished. Clubs such as pbate, Etruscan, Oracle, pom-pon and ieerleading were sent to programs across ie nation to improve their knowledge and :ills for the coming school year. 'Debaters, for instance, attended workshops 1 Georgetown University, the University of 1edlands, the University of Louisville, orthwestern University, Illinois State Uni- zrsity, Augustana College, and the Universi- of Kentucky. I think the institutes pro- ded the many students who went with the ,n and experience of meeting new people. It so taught me better research skills and a better insight on the upcoming debate to- picsj' commented sophomore Eugene Baime. Etruscan and Oracle staff editors represented GBS by attending Ball State Universityis journalism workshop. Twelve of the varsity pom-pon squad mem- bers participated in competitions held at Northern Illinois University and Rockford College, winning numerous awards. Camp is an experience everyone should encounter, it was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, commented senior Renee Hrejsa. Twelve of the varsity cheerleaders journeyed to Bradley University, where they brought back three awards. Senior Jenny Laystrom became a semi-fi- nalist in the Miss Illinois Teen All-American contest, held on Aug. 16. 'gl feel so very fortu- nate to have had experienced this and I felt good representing Glenview and teenagers all over, remarked Laystrom. South students didn't just travel through- out the nation, they crossed the Atlantic as well. Eleven students had the opportunity to A. IA become student ambassadors and studied in several European countries over the summer. lt was an opportunity of a lifetime, and if I had the chance to go again, I definitely would, commented senior Lisa Nordgren. These students were not chosen on a volun- tary basisg they had to be screened, and they attended several orientation meetings before being selected to become U.S. student am- bassadors, These ambassadors had a mission to per- form when they were sent abroad. It was their duty to promote world peace and understand- ing by extending their friendship to others. The ambassadors' mission was successful because the students were able to grow as people and develop their self-concept while establishing lifetime friendships with their host families abroadf' stated Miss Sue Schnackenberg, who cbaperoned the group. The summer of '81 proved to be a valuable one for students. They acquired the exper- ience of competition and promoted world peace and understanding. Alumni Mark Koulogeorge and Jeff Wortman won the National Forensics LeaguejNational Debate Cham- pionship at Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 15 - 19. While acting as a U.S. student ambassador during the summer, senior Kristen Griesser visited several European countries, such as Lucerne, Switzerland, along with 10 other students. Summerf2l
