Pillow talk There were six people in the bed. We would sneak into each others' room at night and just goof off, said Wendy Leake about cheerleading camp. Since there were limited pil- lows, Amy Shoupe and Wendy end- ed up sharing.

Thrill seeking Taking the first step over the edge is the scariest part in rappeling off the mountain, says Diane Riggleman. She and her mother voyaged to Sen- eca Rock, West Virginia, during the summer months to test their skills at rock climbing. Play it again Older and younger people join tal- ents to perform at the Italian Festival held in Frostburg. The Arion Band performed at many functions during the summer Brenda Anderson and Jean Close are just a few of the stu- dents who participated to keep their musical skills sharp over the sum- mer.

Once upon a time While babysitting at the Vacation Bi- ble School at First Presbyterian Church, Erika Bingman tells a story to some of the kids. Erika babysat for a week during June from nine in the morning until noon. It was hard trying to get up that early in the morning during the summer, but it also got me ready forgetting up early for cheerleading practices, she said. Summe 19

8e back 0 ACHIEVEMENT We spent every extra min- ute sleeping. The pressure was so intense. No one got to bed before one in the morning. All of these quotes are from students who at- tended some type of camp. There is a special camp for just about every student's in- terest. In March, fifteen members of Chime and Yearbook staff attended a journalism camp at Columbia University in New York City. They attend- ed classes all day and had free time in the evenings. The summer was the bu- siest time for camps. While students were supposed to be resting during summer break, some attended the dreaded camps. A week after school ended, three members of the football team attended football camp at Penn State. Brian Miller, Bill McFarland, and John Ralston spent four days in rigorous drills and mock games. While football players at- tended camp, the soccer play- ers didn't get left behind. Four members of the team went to Wrightsville for six days. In between practices, most of the guys tried to catch up on sleep. By the end of the day, they were worn out from the work. The week I spent at camp seemed like it would never end. We were so sore, we couldn't even walk to the bathroom, said Christy Carr. Trying to find time to rest in between workouts at volley- ball camp became a task. Be- sides that, the living condi- tions worsened the situation. All six girls slept in one room so that two girls wouldn't have to be separated from the other four. The athletic teams weren't the only ones that prepared for the upcoming year over the summer. No one was left out. Vivian Koch, editor of the Chime traveled to Ohio University, while seven members of the yearbook staff went to Gettysburg Col- lege to participate in a Herff Jones workshop. The drill team and cheer- leaders also ventured to camp. Cheerleading camp had its ups and downs. By the end of the week, every mus- cle in my body ached but it brought the squad closer to- gether, said Tessie Lowe. For many students, al- though camp meant intense pressure and aching muscles, the fun and togetherness made up for the work. They are playing our song Preparing to leave for campus UMBC, members of the drill team put the finishing touches on a rou- tine to They're Playing Our Song.
