Short but Sweet Last spring ten flag members suc- cessfully made it through the try- out requirements of kicks, marches, and a routine with the last four counts made up personally, which ul- timately ended with a position on the squad. They then received their uniforms and started out the year at a camp at Colorado School of Mines where they received a trophy and a rating of excellent. They also re- ceived third place in the Western Welcome Week Parade and partici- pated in the Colorado State Fair. They felt that the four days spent at the camp gave them new ideas for routines and brought them closer to- gether. Laura Nutter added, lt was fun initiating the sophomores. They agreed that their best perfor- mance was to Eye of The Tiger for the first football game, but that the routine to Thriller , performed for basketball, was very good also. The ten members all agreed, We had to stick together to make it a success, but it was worth it.
