Maid Service Being A Matmaid Is Worth All The Effort - It's Priceless! H Wrestling, one of Glenn's most popular sports, is also one of Glenn's strongest as far as tal- ent and record. But, even though they are talented and ef- ficient, the wrestlers can't get along without support and maid service. The mat maids provide both. They travel with the team to all away matches where they clean mats, cut oranges, keep the score and the clock, and pro- vide a constant cheering section. Said Freshman LaReina Wood, I wanted to be a mat maid be- cause I wanted a new exper- ience and a chance to meet peo- ple. Iive learned the rules of wrestling, and now that l know what's going on, I really like it. Being a matmaid involves shar- l ing a lot of responsibilities, but the rewards shared with the wrestlers and coaches are much greater. Said sophomore Sherry Hyatt, One of the worst jobs we have is cleaning the mats, but losing matches is the worst part because of the down feeling of the whole team. Being a mat- maid is worth all the work when I see the wrestlers' faces after they have won a match. It's priceless! Matmaids have a tough job, but somebody has to do it, and all of them agree that it is worth it. Thanks to the matmaids, the wrestlers and coaches have peo- ple to clean up for them, cheer for them, and keep them sur- rounded by Bobcat spirit. Competition Matmaids: T. Cox, G. Bodenheimer, S. Finley, M. Moore, F. Eveans, L. Wood, M. Hutchings, T. Kimball, J. Akers, L. Howell With enthusiasm, Sherri Finley and Lena Howell watch as scorekeeper, John Fowler concentrates on the clock.

I 1 In The Swim Cf Things Swimming forty to fifty laps may sound like a lot of exercise but its an everyday task for the eleven members of the swim team, a new sport added at Glenn this year. A lack of bodies and an abundance of travel were the main handicaps of the strug- gling but determined team. When asked about the team's first year, junior Donald Durham said, Due to the fact that we didn't have many members this year, it was technically impossi- ble to have a good season as a team, but we still tried to achieve individually. The swim team could often be found practicing long hours at the Kernersville YMCA. Darren Swim Team Members: S. Melton, D. Phillips, F. Evans, T. Setliff, P. Marcus, Coach Raleigh, E. Woodard, D. Lauten, D. Durham, J. Beard, T. Snider. Competition Lauten commented, Coach Ra- leigh pushes us hard but it's worth it. You must have endur- ance, especially for the distance races . Junior Tim Snider also commented, A'Sometimes it was frustrating because we had so few people and knew we didn't have a chance, but Coach Ra- leigh kept us working and believ- ing in ourselves . Though they had many handi- caps to overcome as a new sport, the swim team made the most of eleven dedicated ath- letes and a talented coach. Their individual achievement made this small but powerful team a team of winners. Preparing for competition, Dawn Phillips adjusts her goggles.
