What about those hot summer “Hey I gotta get a summer job so I can get some money. Not me. I'm just going to lie around sleep late, eat, catch up with the soap operas or just hand out uptown in Rainbow Inn. Oth- ers do get jobs and spend part or all of their vacation working. Many others will participate on the football team, band or be a cheerleader. When most of us are in bed, they are out in the hot sun preparing for the opening season. The football team has a weight lifting program that goes on all summer with the exception of two weeks after school. Then comes August 3 and sum mer practices begins which includes 2 practices a day for a week doing agili- ties, going through plays and tech- niques. Aug. 9 means back to Erskine I it heavy? Johnny Morris shows that sum mer isn't always fun. Admiring the pool game in Rainbow's End William Riaher takes a break College for summer camp where they practiced three times a day playing against other teams. But is the time spent worth it? Steve Beach said, “Summer practice for football, 1 tell you we all practiced long and hard hours and it was all worth it for we are the best teamaround Cary Hickman said, Summer practice is always hard, bur it went pretty fast this year. We had good practices in Due West this year. When the season comes around, we can look back and realize that it was all worth it. Greg Clayton said, I love football and whatever we have to do regardless of the heat, I’m right in there—its worth every minute. How- ever, the football team is not along in the grueling hot sun. 12 Summertime

SWEATING IT! Our “Band of Blue” is out there sweating A out tor us also. Band Camp and daily practices of long hours of drills preparing for the marching sea- son makes every band member at one time or another feel like throwing in their uniform and going home to the air- conditioning, but they stick it out be- cause they know that everybody will be looking forward to their half-time per- formances. Albert Manigo-Bey said, The first days are the hardest be- cause they deal with basic band con- cepts in the music, marching, flags and rifle spinning, but in the end all pays off and we really have it together.” Don’t forget our Cheerleaders, they are the ones who keep us going at pep railings and keep our spirits up. They probably practiced more than the football team. Practice began June 8 lasting until Au- gust 20 from 8-12 a.m. During the sum- mer heat, they mostly practice funda- mentals, They had a smaller number of cheerleaders so a lot of reconstruction will be needed. Audrey Taylor. Cheerleader Captain, said, “The heat did not discourage us. We work hard to show the players and the fans we care They are the ones we will be represent- ing wherever we go.” So that’s the way it was during the summer of ’81 at W.H.S. David Williams shows how the riflemen try to do their thing while Chuck’s mind wanders. 14 Summertlme
