Best friends, Colleen Fitzgerald and Laura Dodge take time out for a bud- dy hug while vacationing in California. 'Where's the Beach?’ A time to relax, a time to en- joy, a time to have fun, and for some, a time to make mon- ey! The summer of ’86 was one to be remembered for the times with our friends, long hours worked and the fact that it seemed to be the shortest sum- mer that students and faculty have known in a while. Part of what added to this feeling, was the rainy weather. It was not as sunny as most had hoped. Asked for a short weather summary, Lorraine Gallagher replied, “There were two weeks of really hot weather, and the rest was rainy and cold. When weather fails and we can’t play a sport or be outside, a hobby is what might keep us going. It also helps knowing that we have friends to ‘hang out’ with or someone to be with, one-on- one. “My boyfriend and I spent all our time together, Laurie Vinette confirmed. To some it didn’t matter whether it was rain or shine. For those like Melissa Guern- sey who worked, the weather wasn’t much of a concern. Melissa sold ice cream, which Kim Reinsmith ate lots of, at the Red Barn Dairy. Staff relaxed, too. Mr. Crotty enjoyed an exciting new ex- perience of flying as well as an old pastime of watching the grass grow. It was the last summer that the Class of ’87 will have spent together as a whole. Belinda Cole It was incredible and wild. It was intense, fl summer I’ll never forget. Scott fflurray

P pact ice Practice—to do something repeatedly in order to learn or acquire proficiency. That pret- ty well sums up the theory of practice. It’s basically said to be ‘‘hard work.” Whether it be in sports, mu- sic, art, or any skill for which one wants to develop a high level of proficiency, practice is important and a great deal of time is spent at it. If the prac- ticing is really that awful, then the activity probably doesn't mean that much to you. To be a member of the Marching Band, for example, it is required to practice ten to twenty hours a week as a group at school and addition- al hours individually, at P GS GPIGC home. A member on a sports team must put in similar hours to be successful. In or- der to maintain the physical and mental conditioning nec- essary for competition, ath- letes must sometimes practice beyond what they thought to be their physical limit. Artists practice too. Their art work takes talent, but perfection is not achieved by talent alone. The artist is constantly sketching, doodling, painting and creating. They're always trying to improve one piece just a little more or make something a little better. Commitment is the key word. The major change should be “Perfect practice makes perfect.” Bart Marvin Just hard work, dedication and a lotta’ fun make practice pay off.” Katie Brewer Practices 2
