Ironing Gut The Wrinkles Last year here at Glenn, a transformation began to take place. Months of work seemed to bring nothing but dirt piles and endless noise. Yet, when school started this year, the evidence of a sum- mer's work showed clearly on campus A new building and gym are the rewards of en- during the hassle and noise of last year. Was it all neces- sary? Junior Brantley McGee commented i'The construc- tion was really a necessity. With the new gym, we can graduate with something we're proud of. A new stadi- um would be great, also. He laughed and continued, I guess without a stadium we could always wear tennis shoes and play football in the gym. Junior Tony Rogers was asked how construction made this year different from last. He replied, We now have a brand new gym for sports and a building for more classes. The construc- tion lessens the crowding and there's a better atmosphere for learningfl Many people at Glenn have played very im- portant roles in getting con- struction completed. Among those, Mr. York stands out in the hearts of the students. Ju- nior Kelley Britt commented, i'Mr. York is not just another school custodian. He seems to care about the school and his work is not just a job to him. He's one of us - he's a Bobcat, too. Building construction has paved the way for things much more important - body and mind construction. This construction is the real purpose behind all other con- struction, the most valuable reason for coming to school at all. Through the efforts of construction - building, body, and mind - we are ironing out the wrinkles and paving the road to better edu- cation. g 6' V l 4 l Q. ' - w 1 14 U.. , .

Escaping To uter Limits Much of a student's life happens off campus. Lunch for upperclassmen, socializ- ing at games, going to the fair, and just relaxing with friends name a few off cam- pus activities enjoyed by all. Many special events revolve around weekends. Students spend that free time in differ- ent ways. Junior Juli Franklin commented, I go to movies and do a lot of homework on weekends, but my favorite thing to do is go shoppingf' Juniors Susan Culler and Donna Angell share similar views of a fun weekend. We like to go to movies, go to the mall, and cruise Stratford. Off-campus lunch, a freedom of upperclassmen, is spent many different ways as well. Another junior, Michele Comer, goes home for lunch. It's cheaper, faster, more re- laxing, and I can watch TV. I think it's more practical than going out every day.'I A fa- vorite student activity, the Dixie Classic Fair, will not re- turn to Winston-Salem for the next three years due to con- struction of the new colise- um. Students were shocked and upset by this news. Sen- ior Belinda Southernls initial reaction was Oh, no! She then commented The fair was more than just rides. It was a special time for a boy- friend and girlfriend. I always looked forward to it. Sopho- more Angie Miller reacted very similarly. I'm very dis- appointed. The fair is some- thing I always enjoy because it's a great place to go with friends. It will be kind of emp- ty without itf, Ballgames, parties, pizza, dates and a quiet game of Trivial Pursuit with friends compile a valu- able area of student life - relaxation. Off campus life reaches to the outer limits of student time and imagination and gives us a chance to cut loose for a little while before returning to a world of re- sponsibility.
