Being a caddy for lim Mason, a top amateur golfer and a 1972 Kirkwood gra- duate, was exciting and fun, according to Hefner. I loved my job caddying. I play golf, and one day I hope to be a pro, said Hefner. Melissa C-roves, senior, also worked at a job she en- joyed. She spent june 4-18, in Tampa, Fla. working at the Armenian Animal Hospital. I learned a lot, said Groves. Working with the animals helped me to decide to become a vet - animals never complain, unlike peo- ple.

Workshops prov1de educat1on, ideas, chances for recogn1t101'1 It was time to begin. The musicians had been preparing for the concert during the six days they at- tended the Golden Eagle Workshop at Southeast Mis- souri University, july 29- Aug. 3. Each day there were three full band rehearsals. Indivi- duals then met and prac- ticed in sectionals. jeff Fieberg, sophomore, attended the workshop and won the Outstanding Band Camper Award for the sec- ond consecutive year. In recognition of his achieve- ment, The Webster-Kirk- wood Times pictured Fie- berg in its Sept. 21 issue. I was really excited about the recognition I received, said Fieberg.

Becky Klein, sophomore, spent june 10-17 at the Mis- souri University tMUj Quar- tet Seminar. She practiced with her cello quartet for four hours a day. They also gave two concerts. Our instructors taught us to make the group sound like one person, said Klein. Musicians were not the only students who worked on improving their perfor- mances. Rebecca Groves, sophomore, janet Enboden, senior, and Tom Allen, ju- nior, attended a drum major workshop at DePauw Uni- versity, july 7-12. Students spent class time learning new marches and routines, along with improv- ing their techniques. They worked us hard, but I really learned a lot. I had to go because it was my first year as a majorette, but I'lI probably go back next year, said Groves. Besides hosting a music seminar, MU also held a journalism workshop, june 'IO-'l4. To improve her writing, Heather McVicar, junior, at- tended the workshop. Each student wrote an ar- ticle. At the end of the week, the workshop paper, The Missourian, featured McVi- car's article, How far would you go for a friend?

Racer jumps ahead, stays backg another travels great distance false start II At first I was embarrassed because a television crew was there, and the camera light was shining right- on me, said jon Byrd, sopho- more. Byrd was one of 10,000 people who rode in the Moonlight Ramble, a 20- mile bike race through St. Louis, which started at 2 a.m., Aug 26. Byrd, however, spent the first few moments of the Ramble on the ground. He had attempted to ride under the rope barrier at the start of the course. It caught on the seat of his bike and threw him to the ground. The Moonlight Ramble was not the only bike riding students did during the sum- mer. Tom Ganim and Eddie KountZ, sophomores, at- tended a national biking convention in Indianapolis, Ind., july 3-8. Biking throughout the city, the cyclists averaged 20-40 miles a day. On july 6, they biked two laps around the Indy 500 track. Cycling also took students outside the United States. Sarah Finch, sophomore, spent 20 days biking across Nova Scotia with 12 girls from the American Youth Foundation's Camp Mer- rowvista, in New Hampshire. Finding a place to stay kept the group busy. Camp- sites sometimes were a help- ful Canadian's garage or a cemetery. Amidst the clutter in their dorm room at a Ball State journalism workshop, july 20-Aug. 3, Kerri Kite and Ashley Hall, seniors, do home- work for their classes the next morning. Ji! R I I, gt wr'-

Additional practices, training help athletes achieve their goals He had to do it again. After countless days of running, and training on his own, jeff Wagner, senior, saw that it was 6 a.m. and time for another practice. I kept going because it was the only way that l could reach the peak of my capabi- lities, said Wagner. Bob Pelikan, 1969 state cross country champion from DuBourg High School, helped Wagner with his training program. Pelikan wrote a schedule for Wagner to follow. By summer's end Wagner had run approximately 500 miles. After finishing my train- ing program I could see great improvement, said Wagner. Some students did not train all summer, but waited until Aug. 15, when school sports practices began. Because of high tempera- tures and humidity in the August practices, many ath- letes had problems with the heat. ' On the first day, Dan 1 As a gag, Ashley Hall, senior, runs for an imaginary office at Girls' State. Practice in the mid-morning heat, Aug. 31, helps Todd Villmer, Char- lie Cowherd, and Peter Bruce, sophomores, strengthen their soccer skills. 26 Summer Magazine Head Cfreshmanl showed up for practice, and started throwing up because of the heat, said Brad Gray, soph- omore. Desegregation students faced problems other than heat. For the first week of practices their cabs were late. The coaches didn't like it too much, but they knew it wasn't our fault, said Cal- mez Atkins, sophomore. Another problem arose for desegregation students because they had to stay in Kirkwood between prac- tices. To pass the time l usually went over to a friend's house and ate lunch, said Sherman White, sophomore. Practices also were fun, Gray said, especially when Coach Uoel Robben sang 'Pick a Bale of Cotton'.
