School is out but the practice continues School ended May thirty-first, and most of the students of Satsuma High School excitedly rushed out of the building, eager to enjoy and waste a three month vacation. Even though the heads of a large percentage of our students were dizzy from just the thought of how much fun they were going to have, several groups of stu- dents were also a little shaken at the thought of how much work and prac- tice was going to be required of them during the summer. The varsity football players started their practice in August, and contin- ued it up until the last game. These boys and their coaches put in many long, hard hours practicing every af- ternoon to produce a winning team. The varsity and junior high cheer- leaders also devoted many hours of their time to practice. The cheer- leaders learned several new cheers and chants at clinic, and sought to ex- ecute them with perfection. Both the GATOR GAZETTE and the CAYMAN staffs were busy dur- ing the summer selling advertise- ments. They were also involved in the first stages of planning the GA- TOR GAZETTE and the CAYMAN. One of the organizations most often in the public eye, is the Satsuma Marching Band. Under the lead- ership of Mr. Powell, the band prac- ticed many hours preparing them- selves for the first ball game.

Summer is over and the rapid pace of school begins. Satsuma’s halls are soon filled with the noises of school: lockers slamming, boys shouting, girls chattering, and busy feet shuffl- ing down the halls. The Freshmen quickly caught on to the routine of Satsuma and gradually blended in with the other Soph- omores, Juniors and Seniors. The Sophomores and Juniors wasted no time in establishing a place for them- selves and the Seniors, likewise, stepped into the role as the leaders of the student body.
