Summer Jill Thomas — 1 attended Governor’s School in Win- ston-Salem on the campus of Salem College last sum- mer along with 400 other students from North Caroli- na. 1 studied linear algebra, computer science, and logic. In our free time, we toured Old Salem, went shopping, and played tennis. My six weeks at Gov- ernor’s School taught me more than just my lessons. 1 learned that I can be independent. Loraine Hearne — I spent one week of my summer at Girls’ State '82 on the campus of UNC-G. During the week. I learned how to use parliamentary procedure. I also studied how the inside of our government works. However, the whole week was not just work. During my free time. I had the opportunity to participate in the Girl's State Chorus or to attend jazzercise classes. The best part of the whole week was meeting different girls from all over the state. Susan Harrison — Girls’ State ’82 was an exciting and informative week for me. I learned a lot about politics and how our democratic political system operates. The best part of Girls’ State was meeting many other girls my own age from all across this state. I made some new friendships that will remain special to me always. Robin Small — Girls’ State was an enlightening experi- ence for me. 1 learned about parliamentary proce- dures and the democratic government. This week proved to me that you can make new friends and cherish this friendship forever while you are learning something worthwhile.

Getaways Michael Lindsey — This summer I attended North Carolina Boys’ State for one week. During this week. I learned a lot about how our government is run. I realized that all my life I have been wrong because I thought politics was easy, and it isn't. Everyone should have a chance to go to this event because there is a whole lot to be learned and a lot of people to meet. Martin Dark — At Boys’ State I attended classes deal- ing with the world of politics. A day at Bovs’ State was very enjoyable at times. I attended many classes, lectures, and meetings. 1 learned that politics is a very interesting thing to get into. I met new people from all over the state including Gov. James B. Hunt. I would encourage any rising senior to attend Bovs’ State. You can get a lot out of it. I surely did! Mike Smith — I was the first person from Chatham County to become a member of the Spirit of Atlanta, a drum and bugle corp based in Atlanta, Georgia. I was an alternate which meant 1 had to learn to play three different horns. The corp traveled through nineteen states and two provinces in Canada. We have already began practicing for next summer's shows. We prac- tice every other Sunday in Atlanta from 2-7 p.m. Next summer we'll be on tour again. Sonny Crutchfield — My experiences at Boys’ State are something 1 will never forget. While at Boys’ State I took part in town, county, district, and state events. I held the positions of Clark County Sheriff. State Sen- ate member. Sergeant at Arms, and Assistant Pro- gram Director. I also took part in the talent show, discussions, the newspaper, and various other activi- ties. 1 thoroughly enjoyed Bovs’ State and would like to thank my parents, Northwood. and most of all. the American Legion for giving me the chance to go.
