Working Out — No Thrills In Drills As soon as the bell rang, many students changed clothes and began their daily routine of after school practice. These practices were designed to get athletes in shape’and also to help them perform to the best of their ability in competition. The exercises were very hard and strenuous, but they could be fun. The best times were often after practice. Getting together with a friend and joking about it was part of the daily routine according to Keith Rogers. The coach was the “bad” guy. He made the guys work hard and he drove them to achieve. Drilling and exercis- ing required discipline and determination on the part of each team member and the coach was the man who didn’t let the players forget this. Robert Clifton and Rhoda Johnson jogged around the inside of school in order to build endurance for indoor track. Above: The coaches worked just as hard as the players. They had to keep the equipment in working order. Above Coach Crute worked on the starting gun for the track team. Below: Working out in basketball practice Frank Rodgers took a jump shot. One way of maneuvering on a basketball court was by dribbling. Coach Black watched carefully as the players went through a drill. 22 Student Life

ee eee REO AAA Geereal Practices could get very difficult, and every now and then you would have a chance to go up against a friend. Above: Mark Whitaker and Ken Jones did some battling. Top: Members of the girls track team loosened up before practice to avoid pulling muscles. Above: Long hours of hard work in basketball practice gave players confidence when they took on opponents. One of the least popular exercises in bas- ketball practice was the laps around the basketball court. But this time was also most needed because the laps gave the players the stamina to run up and down the court during the games. Student Life 23
