Students need to cool off While many of us lazed around and did nothing this summer, some faculty and students had a story to tell about their summer. On June 20, Mrs. Jane Cooper, Mrs. Dottie Hicks and 19 students left on a 21-day European Tour through Eng- land, France, Spain, Morocco, and Afri- ca. Mrs. Cooper's most memorable stop on the trip was the D-Day beaches on the Normandy coast of France and the Omaha cemetery where 9,600 soldiers, killed in the Normandy Invasion, are buried. When asked about the overall trip she said, The group as a whole got along superbly. If I could go back and change anything it would only be the length of time spent - our trips are never long enough. While fun and excitement highlight- ed the summer for many, Mauldin wel- comed a new band director, Mr.Wayne Bagwell. Mr. Bagwell, with 41 members of the Phantom Brigade Marching Band, attended a week long band camp held August 11-17 at the Civitan Camp, 20 miles north of Greenville. During the day, the band members practiced for an average of nine hours a day. Practices were different every day, some days we would work on our pre-game show and the next day work on just the half time show, but in everything we kept im- proving, said Mr. Bagwell. After practicing in grueling heat, the band members relaxed and spent time swimming in the lake or pool, playing bumper pool and canoeing. From the east coast to the west coast, students traveled all summer, visiting friends, relatives, or simply having fun. Some students attended the Governor's School for the Arts and Academics, oth- ers attended debate tournaments and yearbook conferences. While students participated in varied activities most students had one thing in common: en- joying their summer. Laura Jenkins 3 Tv 1 Take one down and pass it around.

Mavericks Rock! Student spirit soars School spirit peaked this year when the cheerleaders worked on their big- gest spirit builder yet, to boost school support for the Mavs as they squared off against the J .L. Mann Patriots Sep- tember 6. The week was full of activities. Whether it was wearing beachwear, 50's jackets or just donning orange, brown and white the day of the big game, stu: dents all over school were actively in- volved. , At the beginning of the year I was disappointed at the involvement of the student body, but now I believe the spirit is being rekindled because of the winning football season and all the oth- er teams here at Mauldin, said Nicole Hill, a cheerleader. The week's activi- ties culminated as the Mavericks went on to defeat the Patriots 7-6. The thrill of victory soon spread and student council was quick to organize another spirit week, which took place September 22-27, in preparation for the Eastside game. The week's highlights included Pizza call-up day, a scavenger hunt, college day, punk day and the tra- ditional orange, brown and white day. The day of the big game each class competed in the Hall of Pride as each class decorated its hall to show school spirit, the seniors won the competition. Spirits soared as Mauldin went on to slaughter Eastside 22-13. School spirit got people involved, but it let the foot- ball team know the student body was behind them as they started out a win- ning season. Laura Jenkins ks.- What's the deal?
