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

Long hours, much worth it, say most e practice every morn- ing during the week for one to two hours. Thursdays we necessary said JV football player Adrian Bens. lf we need to work on a play then we stay and work until we get it right. Are long hours and missing out on extras worth it to the PRACTICE practice with the band until it looks good, explained junior Eaglette Lorrie Gammons. Long hours and ex- haustion go into preparing for a game. Some students are at school for ten hours a day. We practice an hour to an hour and a half before and after school, said junior wrestler Matt Foley. All the extra practice is students? As long as l'm not sitting on the bench, it's worth it to me, states Bens. l don't mind staying after school to practice, said Varsi- ty cheerleader Misty Hosea. l love supporting Richardson. To most team members, ex- tra practice and preparation are hard work, but it helps them to accomplish goals. - Kathleen Kabell During practice, senior tailback Staf- fron Terrell cuts up field to gain yar- dage during group offense, which in- volves competition between players at the same position. lMulveyJ 2 .
