Students in eighth grade are
given a presentation on the pro-
gram before selecting their courses
for the ninth grade. They are
encouraged to follow the 26-credit
recommended course filled with
challenging courses.
Once the students complete the
program, they receive various
incentives at a special awards cer-
emony for completing the pro-
gram.
Dr. Chappell Temple, pastor of
the First United Methodist Church
of Alvin, was the guest speaker at
the ceremony.
He encouraged the students to
continue with their education.
Temple related the story of a
farmer who heard someone crying
for help.
He followed the voice and found
a young man stuck in a pool of
mud similar to quick-sand.
Without the farmers help, the
young man would have surely per-

The next day, a nobleman
knocks on the farmer's door. He
asks the farmer if he is the one

before.
The farmer says yes and the
nobleman tells him that he would
like to pay the farmer for what he
has done.
The farmer explains that he can-
not take payment for what he did
because he would have done it for
anyone.
The nobleman notices a young
man behind the farmer. He asks
the farmer if that is his son and the
fanner says yes.
The nobleman then offers to take
the farmer's son and give him the
best education he could receive.
The farmer agrees and several
