Summer vacations put to good use Governor’s School. Gone, fora whole month. Learning, and staying up late. Meeting new people, seeing new places. Having fun. Getting into mischief, rolling toilet paper on the trees. Most of all, seeing more in one summer than a lot of people see in years. Boys and Girls State. Leaving home, going to the unknown. Get- ting organized. Sitting hours ata time — listening. Meeting leaders who had something to teach us. Making friends — the kind that last. And marching — everywhere. Being too tired, and eating too much. Being glad to go home — yet being sad to leave. Selected to attend the 1975 Governor’s School for the Gifted were Debbie Farmer and Brian Kidd. Discussing the benefits of our government are Vicki Coates, Pam Mayberry and James Mason, Delegates to Boys and Girls State, along with Assistant Principal, Forest Jones. Special Summer 15
