Practice means progress August 1 1 was a beginning and an ending for many students. This day marked the first day of practice for tennis players, football players, vol- leyballers, and marching band mem- bers. Pom pons, cross country, cheerleaders, cabinet, and Bonnies were among those organizations who had met all summer long. Some met once or twice a week while others met daily. All this dedi- cation was in preparation for another year of the chiefs. Teams, entertainers, and performers, many fresh with confidence and ideas from summer camps, were bound and determined to respectfully represent Kickapoo by doing their very best. New friendships were formed as these people saw each other as many others never would. Appearance mattered little while band and Bonnies clad in curlers and athletes soaked with sweat worked to perfect their skills. August 1 1 was also an end of hav- ing unothing to dof' The summer routine was interrupted for a new, busier schedule . Sherry Nunn, who gave up her vacation mornings for Bonnies, said, uwhen you become a Bonnie you know what's expected of you. It's hard workf, Varsity cheerleader Beth Ripper said, uSummer practice is necessary to do well in competition at camp and get ready for the school year. Practicing in the summer also helps establish strong relationships between the girls. Student body vice president Michele Johnson feels, MGetting the cabinet together during the summer was crucial. It gave us a chance to throw our new ideas at each other. There has always been a strong sense of pride at Kickapoo and much of this is gained by success in what one does. It is obvious that hundreds of students feel proud enough to ded- icate so much of their time to some- thing they believe in. The Chiefs will always be a proud people as long as they keep believing in themselves, believing in each other, and working toward their individual goals. Iayvee football players collide to form and strengthen their defense while challenging their offence in a prac- tice scrimmage. Cabinet members Traci Ferrell, Traci Davison, Kevin Gebhardt prepare for a Student Council Conference they are to attend at Marshfield. 2 f Opening
