erforms Ladies and gentlemen, let's turn our attention to the Lancerettes on the field. This was announced at all of the home varsity football games. The Lan- cerette drill team was a group of girls who danced and performed to their heart's content. The crowd was speech- less and filled with awe every time the team appeared in their beautiful, glit- tering uniforms on the field to begin their routine. Moving to the beat of popular songs, the girls smiled and moved with exact precision up and down the field. A team of fifty members headed by the two captains, juniors Jennifer Bud- mon and Cindy Metz, and supervised by Mrs. Rita Rodriquez, these dedi- cated girls practiced everyday perfect- ing their timing and precision, which was essential to the high grade of per- formance that was executed for the crowd. Devoting much time and energy to strenuous practices was the key to their success. This required eVeryone's full attention and cooperation. Follow- ing a creative preformance, the girls re- alized the hard work was well worth it. The captains did an excellent job of keeping the girls organized and friends. Cindy stated, Being a captain was real- ly exciting and challenging to me. It was a great responsibility to be a leader ' K ' .vpn ,, . ., Jziffi A Mu Lancerettes: Front row: Becky Taylor, co-captaing Gina Gonzalez, co-captain: Jennifer Budmon, Calilialflt and Cindy Metz. captain.

I was proud to lead them and set an example as someone on whom they could rely. Jennifer acclaimed, It was an honor and a privilege to be a captain. It took dedication and patience. I en- joyed what I was doing at the same time I tried to be a friend to all the girls. This friendship really helped and kept the girls together even during the hard times when it wasn't always easy to get along. The Lancerettes was a part of the performing arts department, along with the Golden Lancer Band and Tall Flags. These units practiced together and also performed together at Various parades and school functions. The drill team also competed in a competition at Arroyo High School where they placed fourth in the overall competition. Dur- ing the summer, they learned some new moves and how to jazz up old ones. The Lancerette drill team gave the girls a chance to express themselves creatively. They were rewarded for their many hours of practice when the parents and students acknowledged their ability to perform well during games and competition. For all outsid- ers they showed that special touch of spirit and creativity for which Bishop Amat is well known.
