Led by Kristen Dodd and Anne Pateman, the tall flags twirled their way to victory The squad demonstrated winning qualities that awarded them 6 trophies from 7 competitions, a feat they accomplished without the did of on instructor. When asked why she enjoyed the flag squod, BethAnn Driscoll stated, All the flags are like one big family because we all talk about problems and we care about each other. Tracy Lester says she ' s been a flag for 3 years Because the raspy du- fuss ' s are in it and I enjoy the competition.

The banners led the wdy for the marching Hawks in parades, their bdnners spelling out El Dorado They car- ried their letters with pride dnd snapped their routine We really have come a long way since we first start- ed. Ail of the underclassmen gave it their best and did a really good job, stated captain Donna Snyder. The units members are Brandi Carrigan, co-captain Jodi Dodd, Jenni Douglass, Julie Lloyd, Angela Snyder, Susan Nllson, Donna Snyder, and Heather Vaughn.
