Any senior citizen could enroll in numerous high school classes free of charge. Senior citizens attended classes, completed as- signments, took tests, and received grades just like their younger classmates. Four local citizens completed the en- tire school year's work. Bob Osborne enrolled in Algebra and Spanish, Margaret Miley in Local History and Art, Grace Lentz in Typing, and Doris West in bookkeeping. Regular high school students and senior citizens both found the program an enjoyable and rewarding learning experience. iff... tffjjyl . i r MF Mrs. Lentz shows Mrs. Kennedy the Certificate ot Achievement she received from the Mount Gilead Schools for participating in the senior citizen program.
