Even though the crowds are never huge at the Freshman football games, the girls still smile and perform with ease and, as you can see, they look pretty good during the Bruin Spar¬ tan halftime performance. Tuesdays and Thursdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. At 2:30 each week we were in the parking lot for one and a half hours and practiced, practiced, practiced, practiced, practiced. All our efforts were in preparation for our halftime performances at the J.V. games. We worked so hard! Over the summer we attended a five day clinic at Lake Braddock to learn our routines, but it was all worthwhile when we were asked to perform at the Capital Center in February which showed us that a little extra hard work often makes a successful year.

Swoosh! Without any hesitations or cold feet, the Ski Club members glided down the slopes of Blueknob, Seven Springs, and Roundtop. Anyone interested in skiing, amateur or pro, intermediate or high school age, had the opportunity to join the club for a small $3.00 entrance fee. When they weren’t on the slopes, they attended weekly meetings with guest speakers who explained about good equipment, good weather for skiing and superior places to ski.

Only a limited number of girls were accepted as regulars and alternates for the 7th grade drill team after tryouts. From then on much memorizing, practicing, and polishing was applied to their routines. A one week clinic attended by the girls was held the last week of July and was taught by Patty Miller and Jill Lawhon. At all junior varsity games and special occasions, such as performing for parents, the girls spouted with enthusiasm.

Through three years of strenuous work the drill team managed to keep smiling and performed successfully. To start their 1975-76 season, the girls attended a one week clinic at Massanetta Springs, Virginia from August 24-29. There they worked up to ten hours a day preparing routines and formations for home football games. At our first home game against Groveton, many could tell the girls had improved by getting it all together. In addition to football games, the drill team performed at home basketball games, in parades with the marching band, and in the biggest event of all, the “Robinson Spectacular,” where the drill team assisted the marching band in competition among other Fairfax County schools. Through their outstanding performances, the drill team showed that the spirit of “76” was worthwhile for them! As you can see Leisa Williford concentrates while Lynn Archambault smiles, but what you don’t know is that the drill team along with the halftime performers are performing at Robinson through a special invitation from the Robinson Rams.
