Q O A Emiplh sus ein cdltrulllls Practicing for perfection If you walked into' any classroom, you would probably find students doing drills. These students are engaging in the old phrase practice makes perfect. There are a wide variety of drills. There are both academic drills and extracurricular drills. Typing and shorthand are two of the academic courses that do drills. Every day, the first five minutes of class we did warm-up drills. We did these drills to help increase speed and type at a steadier pace, James Garza, junior,-said. Extracurricular drills included drill team, band and basketball. The dance class did strectching exercises to warm up and loosen up their muscles, Sandy Morton, instructor, said. To leam to control movement of specific body parts, body isolations were used. Tums were also a necessary portion of dance combinations. It was important that students leamed spatial awareness through the completion of turns. We did tondu exercises with our feet for coordination drills, Mrs. Morton said. Basketball drills were also important. Some of the drills helped the quickness of the hands and feetg others emphasized ball handling skills and eye-hand coordination, Joel Miller, senior, said. All of the drills were vital for basketball competition. Drills were an essential part of many activities. Whether it was academic or extracurricular, they all helped to improve skills and abilities. Realizing that practice makes perfect, each individual drilled hard to strive for perfection in the activities. DANCE CLASS Working on a combination dance routine is Marivel Flores, freshman. This was the first year a dance class was offered. SALUTING TO THE AUD- IENCE at a football game are Jennifer Walker, fresh- mang Letitia King, sopho- moreg Kelli Koonsman, jun- iorg Rhonda Robertson, first lieutenant and senior, and LeslieWebster, sophomore and second lieutenant.
