StMwieii Oowips t was six o’clock in the morn¬ ing as the boys and girls bas¬ ketball players stood in front of Osbourn, surrounded by lug¬ gage. Goodbyes were said and a charted bus, headed for the Univer¬ sity of West Virginia, took some members of the boys freshmen, J.V. and Varsity teams along with the girls J.V. and Varsity teams to Gale Catlett Basketball Camp. The week ahead included drills, condi¬ tioning and lectures from Gale Cat¬ lett, the head coach of the universi¬ ty. It was a busy week for these players, but all that work really paid off, as all the teams had good seasons. July 7th marked the beginning of cheerleading camp for Fresh¬ men, J.V. and Varsity cheer¬ leaders. Camp was held at Os¬ bourn this year with the Elite Cheerleading Camp Counslors. The girls learned many new cheers, as well as two dance rou¬ tines and several fight songs. New ideas for stunts and formations were shared, and the week ended with a competition of cheer rou¬ tines among the three squads. The buses were off again on July 12th, but this time they were headed for JMU with the Flag Corps. There, the girls were split into groups according to ability and experience. Each group learned a routine and presented it to an audience of friends and par¬ ents at the end of the week. The girls volleyball team left for GMQ on July 26th to join about 40 other girls from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, Texas and North Carolina for a hard week of volleyball skills. Working on stretches, basic moves and strate¬ gies filled the days along with prac¬ ticing serves, learning how to block, dive and roll. Play-offs were held among the six teams, then camp ended with a special visit from the Olympic Vollyeball team.

S ummer is a time for relax¬ ation, fun and a time to “get away’’ from it all. For most people, the first place they want to go is the beach with their friends. It really is fun on these trips when there aren’t any parents to supervise their activities. Ocean City and Virginia Beach are two of the biggest hot spots around the area. But for people who are look¬ ing for bigger, better and more tempting beaches are most likely going to head down to Florida, i Florida is known for almost every¬ thing from oranges to Tampa Bay. Almost everyone loves Florida; it’s a nice relaxing place to be. It also has big cities and large shopping centers in Miami, but it also has family vacationing resorts such as Walt Disney World, which can be spectacular. Students who are taking a for¬ eign language may qualify to take trips overseas to France or Spain. This can be worthwhile because they get to travel with some teach¬ ers and other students who are tak¬ ing the same foreign language as they are. One junior, Harini Rao went to Paris with her family this past summer. We all must not forget the real meaning behind summer vacation, that one fact that sort of “stands out” — no school! No more guilty conscience over not doing home¬ work. No having to get up before the sun rises. This is the true spirit behind summer. Alpa Vaghani Ocean City is another place students flock to over the summer. Student Life 9
