Mrs. Mitchell helps seniors Doug Hanery and Terri Hix de- cide on a seating arrangement for the prom, Although school is tradition- ally thought of as the classroom where students spend all their time learning and gaining knowledge for their futures, it is a lot more. The many hours spent outside of the classroom are what really makes a year memorable. School starts when summer ends but the fun still keeps on coming. Early in the year Fall Festival and Homecoming keep students busy. Pep Rallies and football games are full of mo- ments to remember. Later on in the year are several banquets, the prom, club trips, dances, and finally graduation. There are so many outstand- ing happenings in a school year that help to create many great memories. A student does not always remember the formulas to a chemistry problem, or the author of a particular novel, but the fun and laughter shared with friends will always be re- membered. STUDENT LIFE 7

June. July. and August are a teacher's favorite months of the year. Mrs. Deborah Nance A lot of work and tons of play make for a really great year. That is exactly what a lot of our students did with a portion of their summer. Their attendance at several summer camps has improved their performances in extra- curricular activities. These camps include football, band, drill team, cheerleaders, and the yearbook staff who began work on this year's Paw. Fun and good times were a big part of these camps. Ev- eryone had their favorite part. Varsity cheerleader, Wendy Billups, senior, Rodney! He was a male cheerleader that was oh-so-fine! I really liked his . . . Smile! And then there's every- one's favorite part of any practice; BREAK! - Varsity football player, Jay Cooper, junior. There were big benefits for each organization. Senior, Michelle Weatherley, With- out the camps everything would stay on the same lev- e1. We mainly had the two-a- Hit or miss. Varsity and JV football teams work hard during two-a-days towards the end of summer. STUDENT LIFE JQQWW Those Crazy, Hazy, Lazy, Days Of Summer days to get in shape. They also built up skills, techniques, and reactions, especially the reac- tions for when they get in a game. -Coach Mike Weather- ley. Though it was plenty of time and hard work, there wasn't too much complaining about the sacrifices that were made. Fresh- man Drill Team Member, Dana Davis, Well, it was hard work trying to learn routines, but then again it was fun out there trying. Personal advantages were ob- vious and everyone seemed to gain something from hard work. Drill Team Co-Captain sophomore, Jodi Renne, I learned a lot of our routines in advance and was able to help others learn. Overall, there were no nega- tive results of any of the camps. We learned a lot of new tech- niques at yearbook workshop for putting together an annual and got started on this year's Paw. - Candace Wright, senior, Yearbook Editor. A summer full of hard, hard work makes for a lot of fun and great memories. Memories not only for those who worked, but every spectator who took part.
