YUCK! I hate 'em!! They last too long! I could think of better things to doll This is only part of what students say and feel about staying after school to practice. Sure, they could thmk of bet- ter things to do. but would they still be the best? Of course not! Stu- dents will practice in rain or shine, to be the best when they represent our school in any activity. Brig, football, basket- ball. volleyball, tennis, band. ROTC. whatever they are, all include after school practices. Obvi- ously, students hate them, but deep down they also know practice makes perfect and in the end when they are per- forming as Robert E. Lee, Baytown, students in any event it all pays off. Awards are some- thing that REL has grown used to. This is one place where tradi- tion and vision come to- gether and never change because we are truly the best above the rest! After School Junior.
