But there still may be a questiongfmiifif pertaining to how much is spent. Silver Lake and 374 other schools in the state of Kansas 5355553 -, . ., fp mga spend less than 206 of their total school budgets for athletics and activities, said Mr, Jim Lindstrom, Athletic Director, when referring to the October issue of the Kansas State High School Athletic As- sociation Journal. Pride in our teams and schools is, therefore, boosted by the gen- erosity of those who contribute, Superintendent: Gerald McClure School Board: sitting: Joyce Ba- ker, president, Karen Brown, Van Hawkins, Pton Workman, Betty Conaway, standing: Nancy McDaniel, Clark Wiley, 5 IZ' L wffxsw A wif ll ms ,yy -1+-. 5 .

-1 0 OPENING T H I S it ONE S Q FOB Q X 'QQRKEZ e e 3 School Board by Mary Tomlinson What has the school board done - for sports? Not only do they gener- ously support the events but they abundantly supply needs in the athletic department. The majority of additions at the high school have been in the area of football. The team was present- ed with all new, sparkling white jer- seys for away games. They also were weighted down with various types of protective equipment such as helmets, face masks, mouthpieces, and protective pad- ding, Baseball players will be wearing new, short-sleeved shirts thanks to the board. The school board has been contemplating a new or im- proved field on which to play. Numerous activities were held in the gym. The old, broken-down score clock has now been re- placed with a long-needed elec- tronic score clock, Mr. Jack Og- lesby said, It's a 1O0Wo improve- ment over the one we had before, The weight room has been fur- nished with brownish-red carpet and a new stereo to replace the one that was stolen over the sum- mer. Chalk has also been pur- chased for the weightlifters' hands. As the need becomes greater because of greater interest, an ad- ditional wrestling mat is being con- sidered for purchase. To be modernized next, be- cause of safety and space needed. is the track department. New shot- put and discus rings may be pur- chased. Since the junior high prac- tices at the high school, there just is not enough room for everyone. The pole-vault also needs repairs to make it safe for athletes. lt's an ongoing process to replace any worn out or unsafe equipment so students can perform to maximum abilities, said Mr. Larry Winter, principal. The grade school athletic de- partment has also obtained some new equipment. They have ac- quired new lockers for the locker rooms, girls' volleyball uniforms, and boys' basketball uniforms. We try to keep modern, up-to- date equipment to eliminate injur- ies and to develop pride in the stu- dent body, said Mr. Gerald Mc- ...uaunl--avirul---'ri Lifting weights, running, practicing - successful summer work- outs leads to profitable season Summer Sweat Running, pumping iron and sweating - all this adds up to a prosperous summer, which, in turn, leads to a profitable athletic season. Throughout the en- tire summer students are usually in the gym or the weight room preparing for that first day of practice. Practices for cross-country, volleyball, and football usu- ally start about a week or two before school starts. This week or two gives the teams a jump on the sea- son. These weeks are used mainly for conditioning, to get in shape. Get those legs up. Doing sprints in practice, senior Sheldon Sala finishes first. Photo by Beth Brandenburg.

12 openirvc This One's f For o 0 o : Teachers f by Patty Kennedy Going above and beyond the call of duty is something that brings thoughts of sol- diers traveling behind enemy lines gathering top secret documents. One doesn't, however, pic- ture a teacher cracking the books and heading back to school as something quite that exciting, but by further- ing their own educations they, in turn, improve ours. Mr. Loren Ziegler and Mr, C.J. Hamilton are both at- tending Washburn University to work on their masters de- grees in administration, They attended the same classes on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Going back to school really puts a crunch on my social life, said Ziegler. Hamilton added, lt's helped me better understand the administration. Mr. Joseph Plankinton is also going to Washburn Uni- versity. He is taking an as- tronomy class to better him- self and to also get ready for the space science class sec- ond semester. l'm a profes- sional student, so l don't mind the homework. l actual- ly love it! said Plankington. Mrs. Floseann Gish went to telenet classes at the Topeka State Hospital from Emporia State and Kansas State Uni- versity to maintain her teach- ing certificate. She attends Publications classes on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. My time at home with my family has definitely been limited. I leave things there to the last minute. lt makes me mad because I am not like that, said Gish. Not only do these teachers make assignments, grade pa- pers, and fill out report cards, they must also do their own homework, read chapters, and study for tests. Maybe all teachers should attend outside classes. Then they'd understand and per- haps even sympathize with us students when we forget our homework! ....l.i..- 1 Teachers 'hit the books' and head back to school to continue their educational knowledge. Extra days at school District iif372's contracts for teachers requires them to be at school 185 days. These extra five days, other than teaching a class, are spent 3 days before school starts, an inservice day, and a teacher work day at the end of the year. Their con- tract is plain and simple. Some other contracts have longer days, up to 195, said Principal Larry Winter. Spring cleaning. Custodian Mrs. Kay Brooks finishes cleaning the classrooms to ready them for the first day of school.
