Kim zey, principal of Brevard high school, in connection with Bruce Glazener winning highest honor as valedictorian of the high school senior class of 1944. The unusual feature of this honor, it was pointed out, is the fact that Bruce’s two older bro thers, Edward and Fred Glazener, three sons and only children of County Agent and Mrs. Julian A. Glazener were also valedictorian of their respective senior classes of Brevard high school. A further similarity in the case of the three brothers is that the 4-year average of the two older brothers was ex actly the same, and that of the youngest brother varied by only a small fraction of a point higher. The average of Edward, of the class of 1939, and Fred, 1941, was 96.5, and that of Bruce, 1944, was 96.6. All three brothers were members of the student council and all re-, ceived a major share of scholastic and extra-curricular honors. Ed ward, in deferred military service, now holds a responsible position in vocational agriculture work in the central part of the state, and Fred is in military service, which Bruce will also soon join, it is presumed. 10TH ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE WILL START SATURDAY Elaborate Four-Day Pro gram Planned.
