Hard but fun ' It was hard work, but a lot of fun, explained Deb- bie Dunlap ' 83. Wildcats spent their summer in a va- riety of ways; some cheered, while others worked with sheep. Mark Bauer ' 83 and Debbie Dunlap were both in the summer production of The Music Man which was performed at the Fire- fly Festival. You are using your time wisely instead of just bumming around ad- ded Mark. Mark had the part of the lead tenor in a quartet. Not only did he perform in the show, he also had several appear- ances outside the play. Debbie Dunlap played the part of Zaneeta, the may- or ' s daughter. The cheerleaders start- ed practicing in the begin- ning of July. We had to put a lot of practice in, stated Melanie Rowe ' 83, If we didn ' t practice we wouldn ' t have been ready when school started. The pom pon squad went to Indiana University for a four day workshop. They worked from 6 a.m. until as late as 2 a.m. some- times. We had to learn new positions and different moves, reflected Captain Amy Benko. Not all people went away, some stayed here in their own community and worked hard. Doug Mur- phy ' 85 was involved with 4-H. Some of the things he was enrolled in were wood- working, pigs, chickens, and rabbits. The hardest thing was to care for the animals all the time, re- flected Doug. Whether it was 4-H, summer camp, or early practices, for many stu- dents their summers were hard. But the real thing was that they were fun. m mr- M l 1 Zrv:Ji - B .?5 , 1 v M B 5 - Ik -ir «■» m ▲. 1 Not only is Doug Murphy vice president of Junior Leaders, a group which helps out other members, but during the fair he was also involved with many oth- er activities. Out of seventeen groups, the Ri- ley pom pon squad was the only small squad to receive an award for the most spirit.
