Although many students chose to spend their summer earning money or enjoying some free time, some used summer camps and workshops to prepare themselves for the up- coming year. A number of students chose a typical church or sports camp, but others found a variety of camps offering instruction in less common areas. The band drum majors, Senior Brian Madson and junior Jeni Rieck, attended The Marching Auxiliaries Conference which was held at lowa State University in mid-July. The workshop gave them a chance to see different styles of drum majoring in use. They had the opportuni- ty to see an assortment of new salutes and many chances to improve some of the things which they already knew about. Rieck commented, `` really appreciated the camp. Learning the dit- ferent maneuvers gave Brian and me a chance to work together and get to know each other better. I think that really helped us as our marching season progressed. ` Senior Jeff Horowitz had an altogether different people were doing the same kinds ot things. BUILDING SPIRIT. A croup of cheerleaders form a pyr- amid during judging at a summer camp tor cheerleaders. Evaluations helped campers learn how they could improve their skills. Workshops also allowed them to see how other Camps create contidence type of sum mer experience. Horowitz was one of the Ames High students who was invited to attend the American Legion's Boys State con- ference in early June. Horowitz described Boys State as, ‘а very intense government camp. During the conference, elections were held at all levels. We were able to elect all sorts ot officials,” Horowitz explained. ‘There were city elections (where each barracks was a separate city), county elections (each county was com- prised of four barracks), and state elections which were held at-large, that is throughout the entire camp.” Even though he had doubts when he entered the camp, he tound his exper- ience to be worthwhile. “I thought a govern- ment camp wouldn't be fun, but Boys State was a great experience. It helped me understand what government was all about. Í think the ex- perience helped me in government class, he concluded. Rieck echoed Horowitz's views when she said, I was really glad I went. I think that it made а big difference in my performance and | also met а lot of new friends. ` Workshops
