Butter and Seven Trophies Being a member of the band had a special meaning. The year began at band camp in Lebanon Junction, Ky. It was a week of tight-scheduled work that resembled boot camp. Memories of peanut butter sandwiches still come to mind. We had practice, practice, and more practice. I used to want to kill Mr. Smith I would get so hot and tired. My hair would frizz until I think it would frizz no more. But . . . at the end of October I thanked Mr. Smith in my mind, because In a period of two weeks WE won seven trophies. I'm a proud member of the Band of Pirates. A flash of blue from her uniform and a beautiful smile were the first things I noticed about field com- mander Debbie Perry. As I watch- ed her I could see the grace, dignity, and precision that she put into her movements. Debbie is a definite additon to the superb Band of Pirates.

I think Iosing is about the worst feeling in the world. The teams we played were experienced varsity teams. I kept telling myself this was our first varsity year but somehow my conscious wouldnlt accept it. Practices every day, come rain or shine, brought back the thoughts of all my bruises, cuts, and the fatigue I felt every night. After each game I almost felt like quitting, but I always remembered that football was a man's sport. With my head held high, I would be at practice the next day, working as hard as I could. trying to fight the memories of losing. As the year came to a close I was depressed, but proud. After all, how many people do you know who would go through what I did without quitting? No one has to tell me football is a man's sport; it is a lesson that I learned well.
