A select few find themselves maintaining more rigid schedules than they did during the school year. Summer practices for all sports were needed due to B V the fact that most seasons began soon after the start of the school year. Practices often took place early in the i morning or later in the evening to combat the heat of the midday sun. One football player commented, I had to get up by six every morning just to get all my gear on and warm up by the time practice started. I don't even get up that early during the school year. Others complained that practices interfered with va- cation plans. My family Wanted to take a three week vacation but had to cut it short because the coach only allowed a two week absence, grossed one senior. In addition, cheerladers, Cygnets and the marching band also spent the summer preparing for the upcoming year at various locations around the school during the summer. As one band member exclaimed, Well, they say practice makes perfect! Right: Football is just one sport which holds summer practices. 218 SENIORS

Seniors faced with new schedule each year This year's seniors have experienced a new schedule each year at Thornwood. During their freshman year, a schedule of one to ten was in effect. The long day start- ed at 7:45 and ended at 4:303 dividing the day into split shifts proved desirable for many of the students but not for everyone. I liked starting school early because I was able to get out early, commented one senior. Other students, however, felt it was better to start later be- cause it gave them a chance to sleep in the morning. Over the past three years, the class of '81 put up with varying starting and dismissal times and changes in the length of each class and the number of minutes needed to be in school. When asked what schedule she preferred, Ginny Lowe replied, I liked going one to seven because it never ended too late. A later schedule ruined my whole day, and in the winter I had to walk home in the dark. Each year new schediies are tested at Thornwood in an attempt to find the perfect schedule. Unfortunately the district must determine schedules for all three schools in conjunction with Vander Aa bus scheduling. In addition, the state regulations were changed in the past year, forcing students to have 300 minutes of con- tact time with faculty members. Attempting to conform to rules and regulations and outside schedules over the past year led one senior to observe, At least it's made the class of '81 flexible! Right: Students riding buses find it not only convenient, but a good time to socialize with friends, though as schedules change and buses arrive earlier and earlier, chatter changes to snores.
