Students keep busy Camps, practices help prepare for year ahead In preparation for the coming school year, many students sacri- ficed part of their summer vacation to attend summer camps to polish their sport's skills or to learn new tricks of the journalism trade. Several girls attended volleyball camp at Highland Communi- ty College, and Tanya Greaser and Julie Goss went to volley- ball camp at Emporia State University. “I had a lot of fun at camp, but I learned a lot also, Tanya said. practices were harder than football because, It seemed like we went non-stop from 3:15 to 5:30, and the pressure was great because we were ex- pected to win ' A relay team of five students and three coaches ran to Atchi- son in preparation for the regional track meet. It's kind of fun. We got to watch people boat on the river because the bus broke down on the way home, Gary Huff said. Sandwiched some- where between all of the sports practices were practices for the all-scnool play, one- act play, and vocal ensembles. We did the all-school play with fewer practices than ever before be- cause of the conflicts in scheduling,” Mrs. Martha-Jean Rockey, director, said. Students kept busy by getting involved, and although it took sacrifices and a lot of extra time, most thought it was worth it. BEFORE going to break- fast, Theresa Wood, right, adjusts her earrings. She was attending FFA camp at Rock Springs Ranch along with Christy Cluck, Den- ise Miller, and Michele Rooney. Theresa also par- tictipated in a photo-jour- nalism camp held at Kan- sas State University.

Pre-season condi- tioning began two weeks prior to buffer week for those not out for football. Regular-season practices started in November and continued until March. The yearbook editors, newspaper editor, business manager, and photographers attended journalism camps at Kansas and Kansas State Univer- sities. There they learned new styles of layout and ideas to make copy more in- teresting. I liked meeting new people and making friends, Michael Jasper said of camp. As the school year started, many stu- dents complained that they had too much to do, but some weren't satisfied with just going home after school. They took part in practices for extra-curricular ac- tivities. Sports practices be- gan after school and ended about 5:30 P.M.
