Sweet Smell Of Success The Inside Story . . . “Up, one, two, three, four, five, Down, one, two, three, four, five” If you like sweaty bodies, strained and tightened muscles, plus many hours of hard work, then an off-season training program is just for you. The boys and girls in the training program literally sweat many layers of fat off and strengthen and build muscles. They lift weights, run many miles, thousands upon thousands of sit-ups, and at times roll around the floor, just for a grade. But it is not just for a grade in the athletic program, it is to make the team that a person is on the best physically it can be. Working out takes perserverence and a lot of commitment to tough it out from season to season. Hard work for something in the future is the goal for these athletes. The off-season program headed by Coach Bob Wat- son in football and by the basketball coaches for bas- ketball players, strives for the ultimate team physically and mentally. ------------ I Siory by Twilla I

Humor To Die Or Not To Die Ten seconds left in the game and the score is tied at 56. The coach calls a time out and you rush over to the bench. The first thing you think of is, “I gotta have some water.” Fortunately the trainer has filled every bottle and there's plenty to go around. But wait! Have you ever thought about how disgust- ing it is for the players to slurp around on the same water bottle? Gross!! The players devour the water one-by-one like eating straws. But as stated by Ju- nior Randy Lusk, “You really don't think too much about it. Water is water when you are dying of thirst. But when I think about it right now it’s pretty gross”. Isn't there a rule some- where about diseases? Who knows what is put into those plastic containers. But since the dawn of man, people have been slurping and slop- ping spit together and no one has died from it yet. Think about it, the next time there are ten seconds left in the game and the score is tied at 56. What will you do? Will you go to a water fountain or will you drink recycled spit. PALMING THE BALL.
