pated in the Special Olympics in
Raleigh on May 21.
Tasha Torrence, Roger
Thompson, Ivory Smith and Regi
nald Hairston collectively brought
.14 medals home. ? Fojsyth
County's only medals. Together,
they won 11 gold, one silver and
two bronze medals.
Thompson and Smith led the
, way, collecting four medals each.
Torrence and Hairston received
three each.
A local educator said the Spe
cial Olympics allows the students
to participate in extra-curricular
activities.
"Most spccial children arc not
challenged or channeled into out
side activities," said Crystal Hair
ston, assistant principal in the
Lowrancc division at the Hanes
Lowrance. 'The Special Olympics
helps the children interact, which
promotes their social growth."
Nine students from Forsyth
County competed in the annual
event. Four students from Hanes
Lowrance and five from South Park
High School competed against stu
dents from 79 other counties in the
state.
One of the event's goals is to
increase the self-esteem of the stu
dents. "You can't sensitize all peo
ple or all employees to the needs of
the person with a disability," said
Samuel Purycar Sr., principal of
South Park High School. "The Spe
cial Olympics gives the students a
feeling of self-esteem because
everyone wins at least a ribbon."

ORGANIZED FOR SUCCESS.
Success doesn't just happen. It is the reward that comes from a sincere
commitment to achieve excellence. It's this kind of commitment that forged an
agreement between the NAACP and the Chrysler Corporation. It's called Fair
Share. And it was a perfect match for Chryslers already aggressive focus on their
Minority Dealer Development Program. Chrysler has a reputation for providing the
best dealership locations and having the most financially secure minority-owned
dealerships in the automotive industry. Successful dealers like Winston R. Pittman,
Sr., E. Dale Early and Clarence Parker are part of this elite group.
When these dealers succeed, the minority community succeeds as well.
As role models, they give hope to future minority dealers and, as contributors
to the UNCF, the Chrysler Minority Dealer Association (CMDA) members play a
fundamental role in educating minority youth. The oiganized effort that is the
foundation of the CMDA teaches us all that nothing succeeds like success.
For more information about becoming a success in the Chrysler Dealer
Development Program, contact Cecil M. Ward, Director, Minority Retail Dealer
Development Programs, Chrysler Corporation, 1450 West Long Lake Road,
Suite 250, Troy, MI 48098 (313) 952-1258.
