Fall Rains Don't Ruin First Fall Festival On November 2, 1986 the PTSA and Booster Club held Glenn's first Fall Festival. Along with 80 pounds of barbecue sponsored by the PTSA, the gymnasium was lined up with games similar to those you might see at a fair. One of the bigger attractions was the dunking booth which was set up outside of the gym. It's victims included Coach Stanley, Coach Kearns, and Don Atkins. The country store, which fea- tured everything from houseware to various art, was the biggest fund raiser. After the day's festivities had time for a very interesting en- counter with the pigskin. The Glenn High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad, coached by Frank Sink, played East For- syth's Varsity Cheerleaders. The rain-drenched field made for some very nasty but exciting ac- tion and brought in quite a crowd. Cheered on by some substitute cheerleaders, a team of male athletes, the girls played well but didn't come out ahead. As everyone left for home, all they would remember was that the day was a good one, with good food and lots of fun. The N. Pitchin' In!

A giant mass of ice and dust particles nearly three miles in di- ameter - some people refer to it as a dirty snowball. lt makes itself visible on the average of every 76 years and 1986 is the year for its heralded appearance once again. Although it will be farther away than usual, it can still be viewed with the unaided eye during the months of March and April. Millions have pre- pared for years for their glimpse of one of the most awesome sights of our time. The mysteri- I-Ialley's Cornet - Just Passing Through ous visitor of 1986 is I-lalley's Comet. The appearance of Halley's Comet arouses many feelings and thoughts within students here at Glenn. Alt makes me feel very small to know that things such as this are happening around me and l have no control over them, said sophomore Emily Russel. Sophomore Tracy Bray adds, lt really makes you stop and think how short life is and that you need to make the most of it while you can. Science teacher Mrs. Bucher had a great deal to say about Halley's Comet and how it af- fects our lives. mln ancient times the appearance of a comet would have been a fearful thing - a warning sent to cause them to change their ways, Today we are more cynical in our view. We don't see the comet as a herald of doom to our civilization. Some do not see or care about its coming at all. We tend to be so absorbed in our daily life that we rarely notice the wonderful things that occur in nature evl eryday. To me this is the great est tragedy of our timef' For most Americans this wil be most likely their first and las time to actually view the come for themselves. This once-in- lifetime glimpse of one of n ture's most majestic creation brings anticipation and excite ment into the hearts of peopli around the globe. Postage Paid
