Vacation greetings
Dear Loyal Readers,
I'm coming to you today from Vacation City, USA. In all reality, by the time
your eyes ponder these lines I'll probably be doing one of two things: Relaxing in
my rocking chair watching the College World Series on cable TV or four putting
on the fourth green at a local golf course.
One thing I've learned since getting into this business on a full-time basis is
that the newspaper business is like no other. How many other businesses do you
know that gives you a vacation and yet asks you to work?
Typical questions directed my way last week were: "Will you have us any copy
for the sports page next week" or "Are you going to come in a write a story and
cutlines for the Rebel softball tournament?" The one I really liked was, "Are you
going to make a list of all the stories you'll have for us next week?" Oh well, just
part of the job, I guess.
Vacations for sports editors or few and far between. Although most feel that
SE's are on vacation most of the time. An unwritten rule for sports editors is that
you can take a vacation anytime ... As long as it's not during the school year.
What that really means is SE's can take a vacation in June or July. So we usually
take one week in both months. Don't expect a letter in July.
I think it's pretty safe to say that most people view the sports editor's job as all
fun and games. Well, that statements half right anyway. It is a lot of games.
From August to May it's nothing bat games. And there is fun involved, but
there's also a lot of deadlines, a lot of hours and a lot long days.
The job does have its advantages, though. There's the opportunity to work
closely with a bunch of super coaches and their athletes. In this day and time
when were hear so much bad about the youth of today it's refreshing for this
scribe to watch a group of at),letes dedicate themselves to a common goal. And
when that goal is achieved tbzre's nothing quite like it anywhere.
It's strange, but as tired, both mentally and physically, as I was at the con-
clusion of baseball season i found myself anxiously awaiting the beginning of the
1983 football season. But '.hat's just typical for a sports editor, I guess. I've often
heard we live for the next season. Perhaps there's some truth to that.
I am anxiously lookL, lg forward to the 1983-84 school year. It could very well be
a banner year for Malakoff High School athletic teams. The foundation for a solid
athletic program has been poured and now it's time to put the walls up. And I'm
looking forward tc being there for every touchdown, 20-foot jump shot and
homerun. You see, I'm suddenly ready to go.
Oh well, guess I'd better go, the first week of vacation is almost over.
Be back next week,
Benny
