Preparation Makes The Difference Although everyone had his own ideas bbout getting ready for the new school are was no other experience 9egan like any other year | wo-a-day football workouts, long lummier band practices and shopping for ur back-to-school clothes. The cheer- =aders toned muscles and vocal chords, brepared sisits and posters, and spent nany hours decorating the halls. Twirlers bracticed new and more complicated loutines to dazzle foorball crowd We complained about how short the lummer had been. Sometimes we riped about the bruises, rhe hear, and Ne incomperence of new band mem- ers Who never seemed fo be able fo leep in step or in line. When school began we found our preparations had only begun. Now in- tense concentration was required nor only in foorball, volleyball, band and cheerleading practice, but also in history, English, algebra, and science. A murmur- ing was heard in the halls as we often felr frustrated and almost desperate when facing all that was required of us. lr seemed as though each time we had conquered one obstacle, another appeared. The cheerleaders dedicated their time to keeping school spirit alive. The seniors concentrated with diligence fo see that their last Homecoming was the best ever. The juniors made the fran- tic, last-minure preparations to make their prom more memorable than any other. Bur, as the year reached irs close, we realized thar the preparations we made for our high school activities were pre- paring us for the larger tasl s thar wil face us in the future. We faced each problem as it occurred and overcame Ir. Most of all, we realized that we were all together, growing, learning, and shar- ing. We gave each other confidence and strength so that even when our plans seemed to fal, we were nor alone. Togerher we made the sacrifices and difficult choices that enabled us to succeed. We built memories fo mark our ives, Because they feel their foorball ream deserves a trear, cheerleaders, sophomore Tonja Wes!, senior Missy Gardner, juniors Kirsren Hamilton, Angela Kilgore, Gina Null, and sophomore Kim Harris pre- pare some ‘goodies’ for a surprise. ,..
