Practice!! Practice!! and More Practice!! Rock »d Martha work on more uses for the wheel during the Junior High Musical. (Nole Schaefer and Beth Weber). “What! Practice today at 12:30! You gotta be kidding! On our day off! We’re going to miss our soap operas!” “Study! Mom, I don't wanna read my literature, I just wanna watch TV!” “Stage band practice tonight on the stage at 7:00! Cheerleading practice after school!” Those are just a few of the complaints and announcements students may have heard during the year. Experience tells us that “practice makes perfect” even though it’s some- thing that makes a lot of students sick to their stomach. Athletes practice after school where they learn the fundamentals of that sport while also working to have a winning sea- son by defeating other schools. Students who are in the upper half of their classes study hard to keep up their grades. Activities like glee club, band or cheer- leading take extra time and effort so they can make a good impression of Milan High School to the public. 11

Sports of All Sorts!! Lori Bms. a reserve starter, has the look of deter- mination and concentration it takes to be a good volleyball player. If someone came up to you and asked, “How many sports does Milan High School have?” Could you answer it? Well, if you don’t know, the Indians compete in nine sports on the junior and senior high level. Those sports are foot- ball, tennis, wrestling, track, cross coun- try, golf, volleyball, baseball, and basket- ball. Another point that should be men- tioned is that Milan has as many sports as schools that are much larger and the In- dians do very well in them. Milan is a member of the Eastern In- diana Athletic Conference otherwise known as the E.I.A.C. Grades play a big part in sports. If a student cannot keep up with his studies, he loses his eligibility and no longer is a member of that particular team. During the year, after each of the seasons (fall, winter, spring), the Athletic Booster Club sponsored banquets to award athletes for their achievements. This year with the school being remodeled, many things were contributed to athletics. New locker room facilities, training room, weight room, and remodel- ing of the old locker rooms were a few things done to the building. Fencing was put around the football field as well as the baseball field. An all-weather proof track was also added. The gym floor was redone and the old stage was torn out and made into a wrestling room. Another tennis court was built to make a total of four courts to add to Milan’s already growing athletic program. 13
