Preschool Activities Signal A New Year The Ramettes work up a sweat at summer practice. As summer came to a close and a new year drew near, many activities took place. The band, and Ramettes began summer practice two weeks before school. Long hours of hard work were spent under the scorching sun learning shows for football season. While the Ramettes and band were preparing for football season performances, the mighty Ram football players were practicing for their own type of performance. Although most preschool activities were practices, some were fun and recreational. Every Wednesday night, all students enjoyed the music and dancing at the summer dances. The hot summer made almost everyone sweat, whether it was from practice and drills, or jumping around to “We Got the Beat.” Both signaled that a new school year was on its way. Cheerleaders start working early before football season begins. 10 Student Life

Boys And Girls State The Westlake American Legion and Rotary Club sponsors every year four 11th grade students to participate in the Boys and Girls State program. The program is held in Baton Rouge on the L.S.U. campus during the summer. This year’s participants were Jennifer Charles, who said. “In spite of all the hard work, I had a really nice time.” Katherine Landry said, “Girls State to me was one of the best experiences that I have come across in my high school years.” Marty Morrison and Chet Smith attended Boys State. Both boys said that during the week they were taught the system of our government by actually electing government officials. 12 Student Life
