I r The Cknor of Success 64 OrganizationsfColorguard A stick with a rag on the end and a gun made out of wood. Most people thought this was what the colorguard consisted of. Actually, rifles are balanc- ed, machine - crafted wood, and flags are fiberglass poles with costly flags attached, The flag squad was taught by Carol Craig, a professional advisor. Craig had marched with her high school guard as well as a outh group based in the east. She led tlle flag squad to their greatest success in Diamond Bar history. At every competion, the flags won either sweepstakes or first lace. Martha Kline, flag lieutenant, at- tributes their success to a lot of hard workers.
