Jennifer Hunt Susan Mattox Ed Pope Aimee Price Janet Attends Modeling Course Often Janet Spencer had thought of be- coming a model, and she was finally given the opportunity. During the spring of1987, Janet participated in a ten week modeling course, which was offered by the Millie Lewis Modeling Agency. Janet attended classes every Saturday afternoon. For two hours she studied such things as poise, proper nutrition, and run- way techniques. Another thing she was taught was that you need to like yourself before other people will. Therefore Janet feels the most important thing she gained from the course was a higher self-esteem. However, when asked what she enjoy°d most about the experience she replied, ‘Meeting all the male models. ” Participating in this course has given Janet an opportunity to talk with a few oth- er agencies about pursuing a career in mod- eling. By Kay Gustafson Janet Spencer was able to practice her runway skills in the 1988 Miss RWA Beauty Pagent. MOST COURTEOUS, Aimee Price and Brian Clyburn SeniOts 11 enjoy being polite to everyone.

Many colleges have scholar programs for outstanding students. Recipi- ents of these awards were: (standing) Allan Turner and Dean Branham; (top) Beverly Rice, Gina Robinson, Michelle Benson, Kay Gustafson, and Doug Raley. Rice becomes a, Guvie Dawn Lee, Aimee Price, Brad Douglas, and Allan Turner participated in the Farm Bureau Leadership Conference. They attended classes and also went to Oconee State Park one day. Over the summer, I attended the Gover- nor's School of South Carolina for academic excellence at the College of Charleston. Dur- ing the five weeks, I, a “Gu vie, ” went to clas- ses in my subject concentration, which was math, and in global issues. I had classes un- til three in the afternoon with a little over an hour for lunch. After my classes were finished for the day; there were many activities planned in which anyone could participate. These in- cluded two sports programs, movies, dances, and trips to the beach; but I was al- ways able to go to the market to shop or just to stop by Swenson 's for ice cream during my free time. Although this program was geared as an educational experience, a tremendous amount of fun was also involved. My new- found friends and I discovered many diver- sions to keep us from our studies: there were late night walks to the battery, games of pool at the student center, pranks on anyone handy, and the ever popular late night game of phone tag. Going to Governor's School wasprobaly the most enriching and rewarding experi- ence I have ever had. I know the other 249 Guvies and I share memories of fun and learning in a program that was designed for our interests, and I know I will treasure this experience always.
