But for some, those last weeks meant the begin- ning of practice. Football, soccer, girls' tennis and vol- leyball teams began their workouts. Cheerleaders, pom pon girls and marching band learned new routines. Twice a day for two weeks, football players crowded in the locker rooms to don pads, cleats and helmets. Then, in the heat of the August sun, they performed exercises and drills under the direction of their coaches. The hardest parts of prac- tice were doing hills and sprints, said Bret Berthold, B-team quarterback. Some first year varsity members found new routines 12 - - Summer Practices The heat made us tired and lazy, and we sometimes got our signals crossed. -Lisa Boes to be harder than ones on B- team. We ran to Essex Ave- nue too much, complained Dave Jaboor, safety. For the first time in three years, Kirkwood formed a ju- nior varsity soccer squad. However, during summer workouts, all the soccer play- ers practiced as one team. There wasn't enough room for all of us, two football teams and the soccer team sharing both fields, com- mented Steve Erich, soph- omore and member of the new JV squad. The end of June brought four extra days into the prac- tice schedules for new marching band members. Freshmen struggled to learn directions and signals from Mr. Stan Topfer, marching band instructor, so that they would be ready to practice with the rest of the band at the end of August. We had to keep repeating everything and we got yelled at a lot, said Flay Littlefield, freshman. Now, Ithink it was worth it. The task of memorizing 65 cheers had the inexperien freshman cheerleaders stil ing practice as early as JL 15. With the help of so omore cheerleaders and mirror-like windows of the . ditorium lobby, the eight g rehearsed twice a wel learning three or four che a day. It was a new experienc said Linda Tlntera, co-cl tain. We had fun, ev' though it was hard work. The end-of-summer h and just being on cam made Sept. 4 seem to Io even closer to some of students who practiced fore school. Summer workouts are ways the hardest and the h test of the season, said boor. But when the r competition starts, we're g we had those practices.
