Two-a-day practices and coach guidence began in August. Junior Steve Ouamme spent part of his summer in Europe. Steve partic- ipated with a tennis tour. l had a lot of fun playing and touring the various countries stated Steve. Rhythmettes started practices at the end of June and continued with band camp in the middle of August. Early practices stressed marching style, steps and basic standing commands.

Editor of the Dragon, Lori Wing, at- tended a workshop at Ball State Uni- versity. The relaxed college atmos- phere was a nice change, but the work they expected us to complete in one day, made it obvious we were there to learn, not relax, stated Lori. Several students occupied themselves last summer by working. West people held a variety of jobs. Many worked at convenient fast food restaurants, others as store clerks and some as life- guards and recreation assistants. ,,:f-...

Get involved! Join Art Club! The purpose? John Stuckey, assistant principal, stated: We find that students who are invol- ved in school generally like and enjoy it. Those who do not get involved tend to be disenchanted with school and its activities.
