It is a magnificent. Nearly a hundred bandsmen enter the field, marching and playing a rousing song, and accompanying them are the flag twirlers. The flags dip and twirl creating golden spirals and bright ribbons of color that emphasize and dramatize the highlights of the music. This is the function of a flag twirler. But to do that job well, girls on the flag team must spend many hours practicing and drilling. They must learn basic flag maneuvers and basic marching techniques. They must create routines that fit the music which the band has chosen to play, and they must learn to march and twirl their flags while creating ex- citing formations and patterns on the field. The l984-85 Tall Flags Team performed with the band at home football games, at the Clark County Halftime Show Revue and marched with the band at several parades held during the year. They were a diligent and a talented group of girls and were highly praised by their ad- visor, .Iean Beckstead. Organizations 81

These two five men teams who, met on Wednesday's for matches and on Monday's and Tuesday's for practice went on to retain their number one title. Mrs. Jensen did a wonderful job with her teams of both novice and amateur players. Soccer unnies To support spirit durin the soccer season, the group Soccer Bunnies was formed. This ten women group worked at both junior varsity and varsity games as score keepers and gophers. These women team did such an exceptional job that they probably got as much excercise off the field as the men got on the field. Organizations 83
