Drill Team Earns Awards, and Honors The Drill Team had an exceptionally good year in parade competitions. Per- forming to Shrewsberry Fair, the girls received first place and top hon- ors in such parades as The Rowland Heights band review and the Tustin Tiller Days parade. The team also re- ceived a standing ovation for their per- formance at the Big A Stadium during the F.V. football halftime show. The Edison Drill Team helped make San Francisco a happier place by tak- ing their trip which they strived for with many fund raisers. They sold things like football player pins, beef jerkey sticks, frightnin ' lightnin ' towels, and Christ- mas gifts. The girls performed to the music of Reach Out And Touch Someone in front of the Sav-On Drug store on Brookhurst and had a pizza night at Straw Hat Pizza Captain Monica Nasfi in splits (right) during tiaif- time performance.

Drill Team Proves Dedication Is 1 Burdened by the fact the Drill Team nearly lost their team advisor with the teacher cutback, the girls were forced to practice unadvised for a short time earlier in the year, and practice on they did! The Drill Team, with advisor Barbara Rollins, captains Debbie Welch and Monica Nash, began working hard with early summer practices. With only nine former returning members for guid- ance, the captains did an excellent job teaching the many new members. The girls achieved the success they strived for as they performed at pep assem- blies, football halftime shows, parades, and various other performances.
