Tl'3il'lBI'S To The Rescue During the summer vacations, two weeks before school started, the trainers were selected and came to start off the football season. They were each given different duties, such as assisting during the water breaks during and after practicies. Throughout the season at after school practices, each trainer was given afoot- ball team to work with and to take care of once the season itself started. Usually the trainer's age and grade level determined to what team each would be assigned. Jon Schmitz also pro- vided each with distinct duties to perform when they were not with their teams, such as cleaning the whirlpools, or cutting tape for the players. Being a trainer was a big responsibility because of the requirements academically and the need to have free time after school and weekend drills.

F Getting Accustomed. . . To Making the Grade Honors were considered to be nominations, titles, and awards that were voted on or chosen through special selec- tion, or faculty review. Students who strived whole-heartedly were rewarded with a trust and responsibility that few of their peers enjoyed. Often the duties of these select few were difficult tasks that required ingenuity and initiative, and other were only time consuming. Honor Societies collected those students who excelled above and beyond the limit academically, scholarships honored those who were proficiently athletic, academic, or both, and Trailblazer was a title that engulfed all who had the ability to carry off excellence in all areas. Acquiring these honors helped special students stand out and be recognized by their peers and community. They came to know that to be successful you must start getting ac- customed to making the grade. .A i' Jennifer Pyle rehearses with the orchestra.
