Putting Glenn In The Limelight ln athletics, hard work, exper- ience, and talent pays off in hon- ors. One of the highest honors for an athlete is to make All- Conference. Because hundreds of athletes are represented in every sport, the chances of mak- ing an All-Conference team are slim and none. Glenn had eleven players to receive the honored title of AU-Conference. Recognized for their talent in football, Bobcats claimed three All-Conference winners. Billy Flippin graded higher than any other offensive lineman in the conference at center. Rushing for 343 yards with some 57 pri- mary hits, 18 assists, and one blocked punt, Charles Harris holds 10 school records and an All-Conference position at nose- guard. Gerald Moore, with 20 school records and Dean Ad- ams, with 10, both earned posi- tions at linebacker. In soccer, Glenn's single am- bassador to the Metro 4-A was junior halfback Marc Crotts. As a two-time captain and MVP, he was a team leader and inspirer. Said coach Frank Cachia, To make All-Conference Marc had to get votes from 4 out of 5 conference coaches. Realizing that helps players understand what an honor he receivedf, Basketball sent mixed repre- sentatives to All-Conference - one from each Varsity team. Senior Rodney Miller made the first team in the conference, con- taining some of the state's top players. Sophomore Janice Rhynehardt was the Girls' Varsi- ty member. Said coach Stanley, Janice was the only sophomore picked for All-Conference. Her hard work and good grades will Competition allow her to attend any school that offers her a scholarship. She is going to be a tremendous play- er. In track, there is another level of honor - the regional and state meets. Last season, Randy Jones became the first sopho- more in Forsyth County to quali- fy for the State meet in ten years. Phillip Smith became the fastest quarter miler in Forsyth County midway through the sea- son and went on to compete in the Western Regional Track meet. The awesome pair known as Alias Smith and Jones will be remembered long after they leave Glenn. Also honored in cross country is Molly Clodfelter one of the top female runners in the Metro 4A conference. As one of the only female runners on the cross country team, she has competed against boys for two years of Varsity track. Her third place finish in the confer- ence meet made her one of the top runners around, male or fe- male. Wrestling also has another level of honor - the state tour- nament. Mark Eddleman and Eric Austin represented Glenn in this tournament. Eric, who had had a 25-3 record, ended eighth in the state. Mark, who had a 28- 1 record, finished second in the state. The high rankings and honors they came home with made all their hard work pay off. In tennis, Senior Sandy Staf- ford was Glenn's only All-Con- ference player. As Glenn's first seed and MVP, she finished the season with a 7-3 record. Head coach Frank Walker comment- ed, Sandy was our only all con- ference player as well as our MVP. She was a leader to all the other girls. From the first game to the last, she never stopped trying to improve her game. lf anyone wants my opinion, tell them that Sandy's coach loves her. All-Conference honors this year have been hardest to earn. The athletes had one year to put Glenn in the limelight and make themselves known among pre- viously established schools, and they did it. These honored ath- letes made Glenn a real name and a real competitor among all other schools. Hello, Metro 4A, Glenn High School is here! All-Conference Tennis. Her hard work and dedication finally paid off as Sandy Stafford made the all-conference tennis team. All-Conference Cross-Country. Studying with the same discipline as she runs, Molly Clodfelter finished her research. All-Conference Basketball. Rodney Miller and Janice Rhynehart earn their position on the all-conference basketball team.

it St our K Community Involvement - Glenn's Trademark Though a lot of Glenn's new-found pride and success comes from the inside - the faculty and students - some credit must go to the outside - the commu- nity. Said April Slade, A community is a place where people live and work together peacefully. Working together is the key, be- cause working together with parents and com- munity leaders pro- duces results. Commu- nity effort and attention plays a major part in the success of a school. Said Mrs. Graves, The parents of community must show support for the extra-curricular, ath- letic, and academic functions of a school for Postage Paid Divider it to be successful. The influence is not only ma- terial, though. Said An- gel Tolbert, The type of community you come from determines the attitude you have towards classmates and the school. A final influence of the community is the ads. Ads are a way the school can represent the community and the community can support the school, all in a single effort. Comunity involve- ment helps determine success or failure, ex- citement or apathy. Par- ents, teachers, and lead- ers who care can change success from a goal to a reality.
