A Little Something Extra There are many programs at Glenn that are designed to pre- pare students for college and to give those who are eager to learn an extra opportunity. Among these special programs are Upward Bound, Boys State, and a summer ventures program of math and science at East Carolina and Western Carolina. Upward Bound, housed at Winston-Salem State University, is a federally funded program designed to identify students who show the potential to be college material. lt's main goal is to help under achieving students get special instructions in classes and to help them work toward their full potential and college goals. Senior Phillip Smith com- mented, The main thing I hope to get out of being in Upward Bound is being able to meet my college requirements. Boys State is sponsored by veterans of foreign wars, many who were in World War l and ll. The student chosen to represent Glenn at Boys State was senior Patrick Allen. He spent a week at Wake Forest University learn- ing about our state government and how it runs. The partici- pants held elections and had speakers such as the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and Secretary of Agriculture. The summer ventures of math and science were held at two places over this past summer, Western Carolina and East Caro- lina, Two students from Glenn were chosen to go to these camps - senior Michele Tway to Western Carolina and senior David Robinson to East Caroli- na. Michele studied math and science while David studied math and astronomy. Michele Tway commented, Even though we had a hard schedule to follow, the friends l made and the knowledge l gained made up for it. These programs show that there are always ways to reach any goals and dreams, if stu- dents are willing to put in the extra work and effort. Because of these programs many gained special knowledge but many gained much more - the chance to go to college. Academics Top Cats. During this summer Michele Tway and David Robinson were two very lucky individuals that were chosen for the math and science summer ventures program. A, B, C1 D.

i Clubs Dra W Teachers And Students Closer lfwthout Being On A Teacher-Student Basis. Feeling accepted and involved is a very spe- cial and necessary part of making high school worthwhile. Organiza- tions and clubs help stu- dents become involved in a group that shares their personal talent and interest. Junior Teresa Melton commented, Organizations are worthwhile because they are a place for peo- ple with common inter- ests to share and ex- press their ideas with people who understand and have opinions about the subject. There are other benefits in an organization be- sides student relation- ships. Said junior DeAn- dra Crayton, Clubs draw teachers and stu- First Class Organizations dents closer and enable them to work together without being on a teacher-student basis. The impact of clubs and organizations on students and teachers is their ability to draw the entire school together for its own benefit and strength. Sophomore Craig McGee comment- ed, Clubs mean alot to me because I feel that I'm a real part of Glenn High, not just another face of another un- known student. The strength of Glenn is in its people, and with the organiza- tions pulling the stu- dents and teachers to- gether, all of Glenn can stand and represent this school as a whole.
