A C A TI CN Soviliiioliiiii IEEE ummer is a time to enjoy yourself and take a break, , said senior A m y Seckinger. Among those enjoying themselves was senior Amy Martin. I went waterskiing for the first time, she said. I got whiplash, but it was the best summer l've ever had! Some students think that the break may be too long. Summer is boring because the days are so long, said senior Jenny Chon. I really hate the heat because it makes you so tired. Those who did not find sum- mer boring were the Eaglettes, cheerleaders, flag corps, and band, who worked endlessly in the scorching heat. The high point for Eaglette practice was the annual drill team camp held in July at Kilgore, Texas. The girls won numerous awards, in- cluding the Sweepstakes Award, and the officers won a Sweepstakes Award and Spirit Pom Pon at their camp in Houston. Preparation for the first game of the season started ear- ly for the flag corps, which practiced the whole summer, and for the band, which started 8 X Student Life practice Aug. 8. We had fun, especially at the annual picnic and initiation. Training for sophomores is hard, but l've been doing this for four years, so it wasn't too bad said senior band member Barbie Goins. Despite all of the fireworks surrounding the entertainment, the focus of attention becomes the players themselves. The football and volleyball teams sweated it out with only the sheer relief of resting to look forward to. It was 105 degrees. Man, I was dying! said football cap- tain Todd Smith, echoing the sentiments of the entire team. Many students, including some from Pearce and Berkner, attended summer school, June 12-July 26 at RHS. This year had a higher attendance than previous years because of the infamous House Bill 72. Students attended a single class for over five hours. I hated the hours, said senior De Neice Horton, who took chemistry. Summer school is harder because all your work is in one day. No matter how busy summer is for some people, everyone breathes a sigh of relief for whoop of joyj when the last bell rings in June! - Tashia Stone .,k..4W . . 4 is I l kmla' The Eaglettes practiced their steplad- der routine in August and perform it at the Carter varsity football game. fGekierel

Fun fills free time ln by 8:30, and out by 3:30. Seven hours a day, five days a week is the schedule for most students. Although a great amount of time is spent in school, all students have free time and spend that time doing various activities. Some spend their free time at school or with school related activities. and clubs, others spend their time doing other things, 'Alt seems like all l ever do is work, states senior Carla Cloe. While school activities and working take up much time for many students, most find time for talking on the phone, going to parties, and concerts, or stu- dying occasionally. Regardless of how the extra time is spent, Ml spend so much time at school because l'm in the band, said sophomore Sharon Goins. t'Sometimes, especially during football season, it seems like l live at school and have no free time. While some spend their free time in school organizations students seem to spend this time with their friends. We just go out to eat, to movies, and concerts if any good ones are in town, said senior Candy Bledsoe. We go to Bennigan's a lot! - Allison Walker f Amy Wolkenstein Sophomore Mike Roberts goes through the steps necessary to get his school picture taken.
