B41 imlly oufifze weet! Officers strode to their places and the routine began. Smile, pick up your legs, and pop your head were familiar words to all Lionettes. After the election of officers, the summer drilling began. First perfecting the basic fundamentals was a main objective for reaching the goal of a distinctive drill team. To further strive for that goal the Lionettes attended Arkansas State University at Jonesboro with the band for the second year. Afterwards both groups performed at the All-Star Football game at War Memorial Stadium. South- ern Methodist University provided various techniques for drill teams which the officers learned when they attended a July session. This instruction aided in main- taining prior skills along with teaching new ones. Determination and hard work are what it takes- to make it through the hour long Homecoming parade. Clutching the run-through, the Lionettes patiently await the players entrance. 7 8 f Lionettes
