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

The First and Last “I was nervous but happy to be jin the eleventh grade,” says Audrey Ford. It was a cloudy Friday morning in August. On the campus the students, some old and some new, were compar- ing summers, talking with old friends and making new ones. The buses were rolling in and unloading students right and left. Those who drove to school were busy trying to find parking places. Suddenly, the bell rang and ... as ev eryone filed into the hot gym, the real- ization hit them that this would be the last year they would come into this gym and sit on these bleachers and stare at these gym walls. Sure they might hear the same speech from the principal but not in this gym. Some students felt many emotions on the first day of school for some it was bad as Tracy Water states, “The first day of school was one of the worst days of them all, I hated to see all the teach- ers and think about all the work. ” But some people didn't agree, “It was ter- rific because it had been a long time since I had seen my friends ’ says Al- ice Williams. David Logan agrees, “It was great because 1 got the chance to see alot of my old friends and meet some new people especially the girls Some students were more interested on the opposite sex as Lamonte Har- ley proves by saying, “The women were gorgeous, and it was great to be back ' But some people were only in- terested in their education as says Mary Fisher, “The guys were okay but they don’t excite me. There’s only one thing I came to school for and that’s to learn!” For what ever reason, there is one thing for sure, we are back at school.
