A March To The End Drill Team has been a part of El Dorado since a year after it opened. The school year of 1982- 1983, proved to be their last year at El Dorado. It was hard for the girls of the team, as they faced several hardships. Their friendship helped them with each arising dilemma through the months they were to- gether. Without the help and aid of an advisor, they found it difficult to come up with solutions that con- front a team of any kind. They had to organize outfits, shows, parades, fund raisers, and any other situations that confronted them, which under normal circumstances were taken care of by an advisor. Mrs. Zot, as her students called her, was the Drill Team advisor for 12 years. We thank Zot for all the help in the past years, stated Captain Becky Gomez. In 1982, Mrs. Zot was transferred to Kraemar Jr. High for economic reasons. Mr. Jertberg, Principal, explained that it was ex- pensive to keep teachers on staff when their classes only obtained a few people. When Drill Team first started, forty girls were enrolled; year by year the amount has stead- ily decreased until the 1982-1983 hod only 17 people in it. Drill Team rarely competed. They allowed the band more opportunity to compete. But they did hold their Spring Show. They did go to camp and placed 3rd in the Chico Com- petition. Co-Captain Tiffany Bose said, Everyone did their part to make it work. I respect them alot for that. It is obvious that their friendship held them together. They were depen- dent on each other. Captain Becky Gomez wanted to keep everyone close and have fun. She wanted ev- eryone to be friends and to do more things with each other outside of school so that it was more than mer- ely a class, but more of a family. Becky would have liked to have seen Drill Team get more recogni- tion within the school. I really feel bad there will be no Drill Team next year. I hope it will return to El Dorado someday.
