A well seasoned summer Self-discipline — the summer life of a determined breed P ractice was a bear today. Returning to his room, the weary player strips off his sweaty gear and makes for the showers. Too late. All the hot water is gone. He settles for lukewarm as he critically examines three new bruises attained sometime during the course of a four-hour practice. Clad in a pair of paint-spotted gym shorts, he returns to his room, anxious to catch a few hours sleep before the next practice. But downstairs, an indoor Frisbee play-off is staged. The noise coming through the vent is loud enough to wake the dead. So much for that two-hour nap. An exaggerated look at a day in the Cheerleading camp — back row: Ruthann Hil- brich, Laura Baker, Diane Reilly. Iront row: Karen Tuley, Janis Frailey. life of a summer workshopper? Uh uh. Running, lifting and drilling new plays were integral parts of the football and basketball camps. Strong bodies resulted in stronger defensive and offensive units. Cheerleaders had the opportunity to become both teachers and students during the course of the summer. A camp was held for girls 10-13, who wanted to see what cheerleading was all about. And the teachers? Why, the cheerleaders themselves of course. The purpose of their summer camp differed somewhat. Instead of learning the basics, they worked on form, more intricate floor cheers and mounts. Brain power rather than physical power was stressed during band and journalism workshops. Girls State too, required a unique sort of ability — the ability to use politics effectively. Delegates learned the legal aspects of passing laws, along with the art of persuasion. Cuts and bruises, tired eyes and sluggish bodies. The war wounds of the summer workshopper. But those emerging victorious thought it worth the battle. Journalism Workshop — back row: Karl Ryll, Joe Kus, Bunnie Lindsay, Laura Baker, Dan Gil- more, Pam Schmal, Deanna Pinkerton, second row: Jim Reyome, Jeff Batliner, Cindie Van Hors- sen, Becky Galambos, Jon Terpstra, Jan Erick- son. Jean clad band members and Pantherettes drill away some summer hours to perpare for upcoming sports seasons. Time spent learning routines benefited halftime performances. 12
