Co-Captain Carla Bee dances during a half-time show at Wenner Field. Blood sweat and tears lead to success Now, don't forget to smile! These words were probably the most fre- quent five words the Majorettes heard this year. lt seems they had to keep smiling no matter what-even if their baton took a dive into the stands, they had to keep smiling like nothing hap- pened. Luckily. no batons took a trip to the stands so it was easy to smile. This year there were nine major- ettes and Maureen Cragon served as head majorette for a second year. The three new members of the squad, Eliz- abeth Balcolmb, Carmella Christian. and Sherri Sullivan were all incoming I4f Student Life freshmen. There were many surprises in store for them, like having to learn how to twirl a flag. and how to use circles and swing flags. The other ma- jorettes, Carla Bee, Ramona Chapman. Betsy Cragon, Maureen Cragon, Dawn Laveck, and Stephanie Ray had been through all of that before and knew what to expect. The majorettes spent most of the summer practicing and raising money. They had carwashes and egg drives which helped to fund their new pre- game and in-school uniforms. 5 rf waz.

Rifle Line: Susan Connors, Chris Pierce. LuAnne Arp. Missing from the picture is Captain Lisa Johnson. Good times hard work, friends bring good results Do this routine one more time . . . and see if you can get it rightl Those sound like harsh words to some people, but to the Flag and Rifle Lines, they knew exactly what it meant-do it perfect this time or don't go home. That must have worked because both the Rifle and Flag Lines were award the best line trophies at the Qualifiers' Marching Band Camp at Allegheny College in August. A few more members were added to this year's flag line, not to mention three alternates. Captain was Juliann Stredney and co-captain was Elizabeth Soltesz, both of who were seniors and three year members. The rest of the line included Jennifer Anderson, Su- IG! Student life zanne Arnold, Kirsten Bracht. Jeanette Card, Jenny Fleischmann, Patty Kleps. Wendi May, Lisa Oquendo, Melissa Parker. Kathy Ruffner, Terri Webster. Sherri Wilenius, and Wendy Wilenius. As Elizabeth Soltesz remarked at the end of the season, I really enjoyed being co-captain this year because the girls were really wonderful, but it took most of my time and it was a lot of hard work. The Rifle Line was almost brand new again this year being onlt the second year it has been a part of the band. Lisa Johnson, a senior, was captain again for a second time. Other mem- bers of the line included LuAnne Arp. Susan Connors, and Chris Pierce.
