We learned cheers, chants, dances, and skits, and received all blue ribbons and an award of ex- cellence,', explained senior Liz Steele. Head cheerleader Connie Adams was chosen to be a National Cheerleading Association instructor, and April Oscar Eaglev Findley was chosen outstanding mascot. Although it was hard work, Pratt ex- plained, I loved it, I had so much fun! The Eaglettes also captured many awards at Kilgore Junior College, July 12-16. Lt.

Senior David Taylor believed all the hard work paid off with a victory in the first scrimmage. Getting up at 6:30 in the morning was the worst part of two-a-days but it was worth it because we're win- ning, concluded senior linebacker Drew Sinquefield. Although two-a-day practices held in mornings and after- noons, started Aug. 16, the team held informal practices beginning in late July. A lot of people came to the optional workouts because they knew they wut he hurting during ' commented . ...WM guard Bill li hiker. Optional workouts to get the players in shape for two- a-days were held at Fretz Before School Preparations Park without the coaches. For Jimmy Herring, like many, the best part of the before school practices was when they were over. Along with the football team the Eaglettes and cheerleaders also practiced during the summer. The main purpose of summer practices for the Eaglettes and Cheerleaders was to prepare for drill team and cheerleader camp. Before camp we worked on conditioning, jumps, cheers, and pyramidsf' com- mented Eagle Mascot April Findley. After camp they continued practices Monday through Friday, 7 to 9 a.m. Other groups took a dif- ferent approach to summer practicing. Band practice was not that bad. The best part was when we kidnapped m a r c h i n their costumes. It was so fun- ny, commented senior Carol Ewing. Aug. 3 was the beginning of marching band practice. From 7 to 9 a.m. the band marched and marched and marched. After marching practice came sectionals from 9:30 to 11 and those lazy, hazy days of summer ended with a 6 to 8 p.m. session. While everyone else was preparing for the football games, the Girls' Volleyball Team began preparing for their season. They began practicing a month before school started. The 3V2 hour workouts beginning at 9 a.m. allowed the team to work on drills and conditioning. The practices were tough but the 3. August workouts were thei time for the team to unify, concluded senior Mari Gar- man. - Curt Roland
