II am looking forward to
It," says Eleanor Sissy" Will
son, IA. II sure hope every
thing goes perfectly. I like
Lyn's father very much"
I'VE certainly do think
about it, being neighbors and
knowing them ALL" says
Carole Prince, IA. We're just
about as excited about it as
Lyn is. She and I study
geometry and French to-
gether Sometimes-especially
over the phone. But we don't
talk too much about the
flight"
And Shirley Hodges, IA,
says, Il think it's wonderful.
We're all very happy for Lyn
and her family. We often go
out together on dates and
all. I like Lyn a lot"
Both Lyn and David have
countless friends at their
schools. That's the main rea-
son they're not looking for
ward to this summer when
the Glenn family is sched-
uled to move to Houston,
Tex.
I'm going to miss school
here and all my friends"
says David.
Lyn adds, dad didn't want
to take us out of these good
schools. He's very concerned
that we got good schooling.
We've been happy in Arling-
ton."
According to Yorktown
Principal w. Ralph Kier,
who's proud Of David's excel
lent academic record, David
makes the most Of his school
days.
Hes in the enriched biol
ogy class. advanced place
ment math, French 3, public
speaking, 10th grade English
and health-physical educa-
tion," says Mr.. Kier. "That's
a six period day, and with
advanced math, advanced
science and third year Ian
guage. that's a heavy sched-
ule. But he's an excellent
student and makes top
grades"
But David also goes in for
sports - including soccer,
cross-country and Recreation
League basketball, Mr.. Kier
points out, adding that he's
quite a well-rounded stu
dent.

and I'm sure we will when
Dad goes up. Prayers are
the extra oomph you need"
Lyn adds, II think prayers
will really make a difference.
I have a strong faith. and
that's why I'm not worried at
all. Mother and Dave and I
always remember Dad in our
evening prayers"
David admits that concern
sometimes can become diff
cult to live with. But he has
no doubts about his fathers

circuits Of the earth he is to

MAN IN ORBIT
An Astronout's Teens
Wait With a Prayer

Every night, just before
they 60 to sleep, David Glenn
and his sister Lyn say a
prayer. Sometimes it's aloud,
more often it's silent.
The words vary each time.
But the thought is always
the same.
Tomorrow morning their
father is scheduled to become
Americas first man in orbit.
He will be hurtled on a 49,
000-mile trip through space
at speeds averaging 1880
miles an hour.
And his two teen-age chill
dren don't want him to make
that trip alone.
Il pray every night that
God will be with him." says
16-year-old David. II know
God will make it a success"
And 14-year-old Lyn, who

And Joseph Moorhead, the
principal at Williamsburg
Junior High, is just as proud
of Lyn's school record. And
as for the schools extra-cur-

everything" he says.
my main hobbies are ex-
ira curricular activities"
says Lyn. II like to draw and
paint with water colors, and
I enjoy dancing-especially
the twist. We've got every
body doing the twist. I've
been teaching the whole
neighborhood. adults and
ALL"
Lyn takes ninth grade Eng
lish, world geography, art,
advanced geometry, first
year French and health
physical education. She has
a high B average.
Il study about two hours a
Evening star., 1962-01-26

I'm very excited about it,
and I certainly hope it all
comes off all right" says
Wayne Preisman, Is.
Rick Raskin, IS, adds,
Dave doesn't talk about it
too much, so nobody bothers
him about it,"
"I'll be watching every
minute Of 1t on TV," says
Lester Sorensen, IS. IT think
it's a real good accomplish
ment."
And Willard Erickson. Is,
notes:
Dawes pretty quiet. Once
I told him I'd seen this show
about his father on TV, and
he just smiled. He looked
real happy that I'd seen it,
but he didn't say anything.
I think it's really something
to have him in my class"
Don Miller. 16, is a class
mate Of Dawes Is also Dawes
next-door neighbor. He says:
Everybody always wants
to know when the flight will
be and whether Dawes ex-
cited about it. But I tell them
Dave just acts like his Dad
just worked at the Pentagon
or something. I feel I'm al
most more excited about it
than Dave is - or at least
than he shows"
And Don's sister Jackie,
a close friend Of Lyn's, says,
I'm real excited. I'm not
too much worried about him
coming back down. We don't
talk too much about it, but
we're all thrilled"
Lyn's close friends at Will
liamsburg, most Of whom al
ways sit with her for lunch
in the school cafeteria, also
have comments.
II think it's absolutely
wonderful and marvellous
what's happening, and that
our country is advancing in
space science" says Emily
Couric, IA. "Lyn doesn't talk
about it with us very much.
We're all very anxious"
II usually go over to the
Glenn house after school
and Lyn and I go to the same
parties" says Debby Sullivan,
IA. II think it's wonderful.
I'm so happy I don't know
what to do. At school we're
all very excited. I'll be tied
to the Nv set tomorrow"

Their Classmates Think Of n and Glenn Just One of the Cana

Ask any teen-ager. He'll
tell you. He's going to be
glued to his TV set tomorrow
morning when Astronaut John
H. Glenn is slated to make
Americas first orbital space
flight.
But the students at York
town High School and Will
liamsburg Junior High have
a special reason for watch
ing that flight.
These Arlington students
are the classmates of the
astronaut's own two teen
agers-David, 16, a sophomore
at Yorktown, and Carolyn, IA,
who prefers to be called Lyn,
a ninth grader at Williams
burg.
And these students are
proud of their classmates.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

famous classmate and about
what his fathers going to do.
But he's just treated like one
of the gang"
Woody Sanders, IS, says
that when the subject Of the
astronaut's flight comes up
in discussions, David never
enters in.
He seems to get embar-
rassed if people talk about
it, like we do in speech class
sometimes. He's real quiet"
says Woody.
And there are other COM
ments in the halls Of York
town High in the hours just
before the historic flight:
I'm very anxious for this
to go off right. I don't talk
much to Dave about it be-
cause I figure everybody else
does" says David Brown, Is.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

creep up on him, David re-
members those long scientific
discussions he has had with
his astronaut father in their
Arlington home.
AS a father tells his son
the facts Of life, Astronaut
John H. Glenn has told David
in minute detail about the
safety measures that have
been taken. and about the
necessary delays that have
caused added anticipation.
He goes over all the sys-
TENS and draws diagrams
when he tells me about it
every time he comes home"
says David. I'm still worried.
but it helps a lot when I
know what it's like and ex-
actly what's going to happen.
And strong faith helps. too."
After the flight has become
history and Astronaut Glenn
has returned home to his
family, Lyn looks forward to
resuming a family tradition
reading the Bible together.
1--WE all have our Bibles
marked at the same place,
and we read from them aloud
right before bed, each of us
taking turns" Lyn recalls.
THAT way we're all reading
the Bible together-mostly
about Jesus life. But that's
just for when Dads home"
Both David and Lyn have
developed a solid religious
faith based on regular at
tendance at the Little Falls
Presbyterian Church, Arlirg-
ton. They are active in the
Sunday School there and in
the evening youth fellowship,
and Lyn is president OF the
junior high youth fellowship
group at the church.
"Our whole family is active
in the church activities" says
Lyn. Whenever Dads home,
we participate in as much as
possible. And we always go
as a family. When he's not
home, we go anyway"
For both David, a sopho-
more at Yorktown High
School, and Lyn, a ninth
grader at Williamsburg Jun
ior High, the worst part
about their fathers historic
flight is the waiting-the'
anxiety created by the delays.
II sort Of wish they'd get
1t over with" says David.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

Several Of them even know
the famous astronaut himself.
II think it's real fine about
his flight, and I know every
thing will go perfectly" says
Mike Miller, Is, a ninth
grader at Williamsburg who's
that special boy in Lyn's life.
II go over to her house
almost every day." he says.
"Lyn's trying to teach me the
twist, but I'm not too good
at it. She's the real expert at
dancing the twist"
Then there's Kim Hunsaker,
Is, co-captain Of the junior
varsity soccer team at York
town on which David plays
inside forward. He says:
I'VE just treat Dave as a
normal team member. Every
time I see him I do think
about the fact that he's a
Evening star., 1962-01-26

night" explains Lyn. Dad
tries to help us with our
homework as much as he can
when he's home, and he gives
us hints and tips. And most
OF them work pretty we'll"
Lyn also is the secretary of
the Williamsburg Service
Club, a referee for the Girls
Athletic Association, a mem
ber Of two drama clubs and
a reporter for the school
newspaper. The Patriot.
And like her brother, she
enjoys sports. II like tennis,
that's my favorite,," she says,
"and I just love volleyball and
basketball"
Lyn is. so active in youth
work at the Little Falls Pres
byterian Church, she has been
elected president of the junior
high youth fellowship. A
highlight of her church work
Evening star., 1962-01-26

will be reached this Sunday
during a special youth week
observance.
I'm going to give a short
sermon at the IL O'Clock
service" Lyn says proudly.
Its going to be sort of an
informal sermon about teen
ayers and their problems
dating and their relation
ships with parents. Another
boy is going to give the
youths point of view, then I'll
give the feminine angle. We
have a real active youth
group at our church.
Active teen-agers, such as
David and Lyn, make friends
wherever they go, in sports,
at church and at school. All
of their friends are proud to
know David and Lyn.
And they are proud, too,
of their brush with history.
Evening star., 1962-01-26

I'm not really too worried,
but I'll be happy when it's
over. 1t keeps him away from
home an awful lot, and we're
very close to him. Sometimes
it's hard to believe and to
think it's real. We don't talk
too much about 1t at home.
We just have our own
thoughts"
Then David adds, Some
times I think about it in the
abstract, as though it was
someone else. Then some
times 1t hits me again just
like it was the first time.
Sometimes I begin to think
it's not me, that he's not the
one, that it's not real. But
then I talk with Dad on the
phone. He calls us every
couple Of days. I know it's
real then. but I know every
things fine"
Lyn. too, knows the mean
ing of anxiety.
TITS the anticipation that
gets me-" she says. II wish it
had gone today wednesday,,
but they're checking it over.
They're really being careful.
Dad has explained about all
the precautions. They're do
ing everything to keep him
safe. Dad and Dave get into
scientific discussions about
it, and Mother and I leave
them alone. Dawes the au-
thority on all that"
Lyn admits that David is
able to remain more calm
about the big event than she
is.
Il get excited when I talk
Evening star., 1962-01-26

that helped spur Dave to be-
come a track stalwart this
year on the Yorktown High
team.
Lyn's favorite short trips
have been with her father to
the downtown Washington
points of interest-including
all the museums where dad
can explain so many things"
and the stores where he buys
her things.
Dad likes to get in big
crowds and I do, too," says
Lyn. "At Christmas time a
lot of people recognized him
and it was so much fun.
They're all real concerned
and kept asking me, How
can you be so blase? Aren't
you scared?' But they're more
frightened than I am. I'm
not scared at ALL"
Lyn may wonder, as she
watches her fathers space
flight on TV, whether he
would like, just at that time,
to have some Of the cookies
or fudge she often makes
for him.
She proudly recounts. II
made Dad some cookies and
got them to him right before
he went on that low-residue
diet. So he ate them I'D real
fast. He loves them even If
it does put on a few extra
pounds" .-.
But the main thing they'll
be thinking about is how
soon after it's over their
father will be able to come
home.
Whenever Dads home, we
go everywhere we can as a
family" says Lyn. "And I'm
looking forward to being
together again as a family
for a while"
Evening star., 1962-01-26

being with people and likes
to talk. Like her brother,
she's a good dancer and the
epitome Of the all-Ameri-
can teen-ager.
Lyn has auburn hair, the
