More Than Required the (AP) Advanced Placement Program allowed students to get college level classroom experience while they were still in High School. WHS offered two AP courses: English and American History. The course descriptions and examinations were prepared by committees of school and college teachers. The programs weren’t expensive, and with the rising costs of college classes, it was an in- telligent financial decision for the college bound student. The students enrolled in AP courses were given extra reading and writing assignments to help prepare them for tha AP Examination. An acceptable grade on the exam earned students col- lege credits and possible scholarships. Three students from W.H.S. — Brenda Kerr, Jessica Burrow, and Laura Forrester, took English Composition I at EACC. The class met on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There were about thirty other students of all different ages from surrounding areas who took the course. This course was taken for three hours of college credit. All students enrolled in these two types of classes are getting a head start on their college education while still in high school. I think the Amerit:un History course will help prepare me for college. It is in- depth and provides me with different perspectives on history from the writings of men and women who were actually here. — I. Harmon Smith E.A.C.C. Jessica Burrow. Brenda Kerr, and Laura Forrester completed English classes for college credit. MS. DALLAS assists Angie Barnes and J. Harmon Smith with extra assignments. DISCUSSION.

Activities FOOD. 4-H Omelet Day required the help of several members. INDIAN. Joey Kerr gets ready to do an Indian Dance at a Boy Scout Fall Fellowship. GIRLS. April Tedder gets made up for initiation by Alexa Gregson and Francie Snider. Some students found off campus clubs to be an excellent way to develop leadership skills or stay caught up with the social scene. For many students, weekends and weeknights meant going to one or more meetings or club events. Junior Pro- gressive Club and the newly formed Ebony Angels were clubs formed by women in the community to give girls social and ser- vice opportunities. Cross-Country 4-H Clubs highlighted their year’s activities with Omelet Day. Many Wynne citizens looked forward to enjoying an omelet without having to cook it themselves. The Boy Scouts provided many young men with opportunities to go camping and learn about nature. These organizations as well as many others like Demolay, Girl Scouts, Fellowhsip of Chris- tian Athletes, and Rainbow allowed students to serve their community and preserve their varied interests.
