They started by having a totally new kind of spring tryouts where the girls had to perform and take tests as well as meet scholastic requirements. The six chosen were Mary Bonny, Dawn Bush- roe, Sylvia Canez, Debbie Griffith, Bren- da Hammonds, and Kim White. They got off to a great start towards a different year by going to cheer camp, a first for mascots. They got involved on campus more than ever by participating in events such as the Homecoming slave sale. They sold spirit buttons to raise money to purchase a new lion suit.
