Take a second

look at the

Action

oing out and competing and
G
doing the best you can is one
advantage to being in one of the
Thirty-one sports sponsored at Millard
North, but the friendship that comes out
of the team can mean so much more.
Whether its the endless practices,
the-party after the game. going to state
or the locker room jokes that is the joy
of being on a team. ....
The athletes are a strong part of
sports but does anyone think about how
hard the band practiced and the work
cheerleaders put in making individuals
signs for the athletes lockers?
For instance was anyone aware that
the drill team went out late at night and
covered football players lawns with a
blanket of toilet paper before a big game.
Or did anyone know that the blue
suspenders that Rudy Papenfuhs wore at
pep rallies were made by home ec
teacher, Jean Rodgers?
At the home Varsity Football games
the band does a half time routine which
takes an hour for every minute they are
out on the field.
The screams that come from the
bleachers makes the athletes heart pump
faster which causes them to become
more physical and determined during a
game. Have you ever thought that your
job was so important in sports.
