Family Ties A Rerun Of History The class of '86 is the first graduating class of the new reorganized Glenn High School. But there were other first classes, the first classes of the old Glenn High School. Many students at Glenn have parents who were some of the first Bobcats ever. They have the rare opportunity of seeing Glenn thruogh their parents' eyes as it once as and also seeing Glenn now as what it has become. Tracy and Michael Willard, whose father graduated from Glenn in 1956, both commente- d, Attending Glenn makes me feel proud because my dad is proud. I would like to continue the tradition. I want my kids to go here after me. Robbie Bryant, whose father was part of the first graduat- ing class in 1951 also said, Attending a high school my dad attended is neat. It makes me feel that I'm part of a legacy. I thought it was odd at first, but now I'm .....,.., .W ,,,.. proud to be a Bobcat like my dad was. Another former Bobcat who graduated in the first class in 1951 was Rich- ard Meredith. He comment- ed, Hknowing that my daugh- ter, Michelle, is graduating from Glenn in the first class, just as I did in 1951, really shows that history repeats it- self. We both experienced the same problems, but they were a generation apart. Mi- chelle Meredith comments, Being in the first class of 1986 adds a touch of excite- ment to my senior year. It's really eerie to walk in the halls that were once traveled by your father 35 years ago! In all these years, Glenn has undergone many major changes, but in some ways it is still like the old Glenn High of the 5O's. Delores Clarke, Mr. Clarke's wife, comment- ed, I was a senior at Glenn in 1951. I was Editor of the Glenn Echoes, in the Beta club, French club, journalism .mi club and Student Council. Last year with all the con- struction, Glenn looked a lot like it did in 1951. It was much smaller then, only 57 seniors, 8 classrooms, a gym and an auditorium. Now Glenn has more courses, a bigger campus, and student body, and more students are going on to college than did in 1956. Glenn has survived a generation of silence, and now it is once again a high school. Said Ralph Bryant, Class of 1951, It's inspiring to see the school I attended growing and improving for my son, so he can have a good environment. As Glenn once housed some Bobcat parents a gen- eration ago, it is now back, bigger and better than ever before. Restarting a cycle of graduating families, the old Glenn High has become the new Glenn High and living proof that history repeats it- self. Past Moments Relived. Larry Willard sitting with his children, Michael and Tracy Willard, remembers past Bobcat experiences. ---mNMsx..,,....-,f-,.s..,.,-.M ----- -mm --s- My-1-Q--sw-f ---- m.m..-..,.-- - me c.,,wmmm maQ mmesm-,mmm MW- wmmswa .. wfxwx... r:rr::::.::: QWWWW N-awww -:- m...,.l1'LmW sffffffi., ,LT:,.wE CORDER'S, INC. 1 12 South Main Street Kernersville, NC 27284 Men s Clothing Sporting Goods 993-3652 NW Nuaua ..,.,.. ..... ...,.m,,,,,m,W,,,,,,,QN Www .ii -:' Postage Paid W '
