D etwee n Every year there is a certain hype when the Junior Prom is announced. Last year was es- pecially exciting, since that was the first time in many years that the prom took place in the school. As you entered the prom, sil- ver streamed doors greeted you and your date. Holding bands as you walked through the love arches, you encounter an elaborately decorated dance floor. The gym was covered in black, white and silver streamers. They ran from the floor to the rotating ball in the center of the floor. Each table was covered in confetti and black and white floating balloons. A hard working committee, carried by Chris Hourihan, Cammy Cook and Rachel Cochran provided this magical evening. Many couples bopped to the tunes provided by “Tour de Force.

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.
