LET US ENTERTAIN YOU Arlington ' s ' 77- ' 78 drill team began in June when over sixty girls tried out. Forty-five were selected. Little did they know that this was the beginning of a very promising year! Summer school started and so did daily practices for the team. Long hours were spent in the sun practicing kick routines, jazz routines, and military drills. Drill team cap- tain Kelli Mitchell, and two co-captains Lynn Jones and Tracey Tyson, were also elected during this time. Thirteen girls attended clinic in Santa Barbara. They brought home a grand total of three trophies and forty-eight superior ribbons, along with great hopes and ideas for the upcoming year. Tracey Tyson was voted Miss Super Sensational by the U.S.A. clinic in- structors; she also received an offer to be an instructor for the ' 78 summer clinic. The drill team ' s first half-time was a tremendous success. The team excited the crowd with a jazz and novelty routine to the theme from the movie Star Wars. The drill team was rewarded with a standing ovation from the enthusiastic crowd. 128
