Behind these scenes of glamour and per- formance, hard work is applied for hours upon hours. Few ever see what goes on at this time, but all the work adds to what makes people proud. Student Council members often stayed after school working on projects for holidays and improving the schoolls physical ap- pearance. They also worked on special spirit projects, fund-raising projects and commit- tee projects. Athletic teams always practiced until late in the evenings, working on plays and scrim- it 2 9 . . N mage activities. The Highsteppers and band often met early on Friday mornings before a football game to work on halftime performances. Afterschool workouts were also a part of the preparations that went into those special moments. Newspaper staffers made a habit of pasting up an edition of the IMAGE until late in the evenings before publication. With deadlines every two months, year- book members lived at school trying to make deadlines. Few people knew that these peo- ple even worked two weeks after school had let out for the summer. I like staying after school because when the performance we have worked on turns out really good I know itis because of the time I put in. It is really worth it,'l Mary Ann Rivera, Sophomore Highstepper, said. '- :QUT 1' Kisa Kearny, junior, and Debbie Wade, senior, work on a buster poster for the Trinity game.
