GOVERNOR ' S SCHOOL ' 86 I , (■ For six weeks during the 1986 summer, eleven WHS students danced, acted, played instruments, or worked on their English and math skills at Governor ' s School West in Winston-Salem and Governor ' s School East in Lauringburg. As Scott Cameron says, Governor ' s School is a big challenge, and it is certainly a great honor. After filling out applications, writing short essays, and, in some cases, auditioning, these selected students got the opportunity to display their talents in academics or the fine arts. Not only did they absorb and discuss material in their chosen fields, but they also attended classes in areas such as psychology and philosophy. All had positive experiences as conveyed by Holly Pendergast ' s remarks: It was the best thing in my life. It was unstructured and better than regular school. Cathy Callahan, Scott Cameron, Travis Cottrell. Erin Johnston, and Erick Waterworth represented the music department; Geoffrey Considine and Dibrelle Howard in English; Holly Pendergast in art; Amy Sink in dance; Laura Olzewski in math; and Kristen Walls in drama. f ' - ' i
