Fun In The Sun Summer Of 85 The summer of 85 ' was a time to go on vacation, go to camp, party, make new friends or keep the old ones, work, or just relax. The cheerleaders spent four days of their summer at camp. They went to camp to learn new cheers and chants. It was challenging but it was also fun. commented sophomore Nicole Miller. Many students and their families chose to take a summer vacation. One such student was Michelle Shroyer who went to Myrtle Beach, North Carolina for three weeks with her fam- ily. We stayed in condos on the beach. It was great, I went swimming all the time. said Michelle. Other people enjoyed camping or going to the lake for the day. Sopho- more Krys Lontz and her friends were up at Rome City a few times. We went just about every weekend. Stated Krys. For some people the high point of the summer was Canal Days. Canal Days was a good time for people to get away from the boring everyday routine and to get together with the friends that they hadn ' t seen all sum- mer. Canal days lasted four days and during that time, people enjoyed lis- tening to the bands that played just about every night. Others enjoyed spending time at the midway. The grand finale of Canal days was the parade that went through down- town New Haven. The New Haven High School band and Highlights worked hard beforehand so they would be ready to preform in the parade. The cheerleaders and some Daisy league softball teams also participated in the annual parade. As summer wore on students began to look forward to the coming school year, especially if they were seniors. I was looking forward to my senior year because I took classes that would help prepare me to be out on my own. Commented Joe Mowery. The summer of 85 ' for New Haven students involved a variety of activi- ties. But regardless of what one did during his summer, everyone had a good time and experienced memories that would last until the next summer. Lisa Mowery DURING CAMP, EVERYONE needs a friend.

No Pain, No Gain Holds True Dedication . . . hard work . . . sacri- fice . . . the will to survive — these were all part of the struggle to be the best athlete that one could possibly be. New Haven athletes did just that. Getting up in the early summer morning to go to football, cross- country, volley-ball, tennis, or cheer- leading practice was easier said than done. While everyone else was cele- brating the freedom of summer, some athletes were in training for the upcoming school year ' s seasons. Dragging myself out of bed to go to football practice was quite a struggle itself, stated junior Jeff Kintz. Practices were the most dreaded part of being involved in a sport. Most of the time, the practice was more tiring than the game, meet, or match itself. The hard work you put into prac- tice really paid off in the games, Varsity volleyball player Becky Haus. Practice for the football players started August third. But even before then, most players were involved in the physical conditioning class of- fered all summer long. August twelfth brought along the agonizing two-a-day practices that left most players dying for swimming pools, Ben-Gay, food, cold drinks, and sleep. Cross-country runners faced the ultimate challenge — pushing themselves to run a bit further, and get a better time than the day be- fore. Cross- country practice is different than any other sport. Every day, it ' s a little different, and we get closer to our goal, stated junior Jodi Fitzger- ald. Like football, conditioning for the upcoming girl ' s volleyball season started in mid-August, also with gruel- ing two-a-day practices. They weren ' t easy practices, ex- plained junior Gina Murua, The only thing I wanted to do after them was go to bed. Tennis started August twelfth. Play- ers were on the court, ready to prac- tice by 8:00 a.m. We worked on fundamental skills and drills. We practiced hard, and it really helped, explained Varsity ten- nis player Matt Zurbuch. The Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Aux- iliary cheerleader ' s season never came to an end. They practiced cheers, mounts, and a pom-pon rou- JUNIORS MIKE SELL, Tim Wilson, and Neils Rasmus- sen show smiles and laughter are a part of prac- tice as well as hard work.

Nobody realizes how much time and dedication cheerleading takes, stated junior Sharon Hathaway. The winter seasons of girl ' s and boy ' s basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling started shortly after fall sports were over. But the condition- ing and practicing began long be- fore then. As with all sports, these re- quired a lot of hard work and dedica- tion. Many athletes involved in bas- ketball, gymnastics, and wrestling competed in competition held not only during their seasons, but year- round as well. Spring sports such as track, golf, baseball, and tennis began practic- ing towards the end of the winter ' s seasons. Each practice was different but yet every team ' s goal was the same; to strive for perfection, and aim to be the best . . . and every athletic team at New Haven High School, to some degree, achieved that goal. — Michelle Geller i • ' - X DIFFERENT 10 PIECES STUDENT LIFE
