Each year, the drill team marches in the Arkansas State Fair Parade. Spirit soared as the team reached the cor- ner at East Washington and Main Streets in North Little Rock. AIM FOR PERFECTIO Drill Team Attains New Image All nineteen girls froze in their positions. False smiles made their mouths dry, and every muscle ached, but they dared not move. Finally, the whistle blew and they snapped back to attention. That's right! Perfect! The proud teenage captain shouted at everyone as a smile spread across her face. Sighs of relief were heard as exhausted bodies sank down into the soft, green grass. There are two sides to be- ing captain. One is being re- sponsible for everyone: knowing what they should wear, when they should be there, as well as listening to hundreds of complaints. The other side is the pride felt when we perform well, knowing that you're helping the drill team function. It's one of the most wonderful feelings I've ever had, said Sarah Norton, captain. Drill team demanded strength and strong disci- pline-both mentally and physically. There were a lot of times when I've gotten frustrated and promised my- self I was quitting after the next game, but I'm glad I stuck with it because it was worth all the hard work, said Holly Iohnston. In addi- tion to one class period each day, there were games, after school practices, and parades. One week at a summer camp gave the team experi- ence and new ideas. It was a lot of hard work-long hours in the hot sun, no air conditioning, and no guys-but our team spirit made it exciting and fun, said Cindi Davis. Instructors from Universal Dance Camp attracted 15 teams from around the state. The camp, held at the University of Ar- kansas at Fayetteville, netted 52 ribbons and a superior rating for routine. Nine girls returned from last year, which gave the new team more experience and confidence. Dedication, pain, and long hours paid off. Any negative aspects disappeared from the girls' minds the minute that final ripple flowed smoothly across the field--and anyone could see those smiles were real. Expressions of team support abound. The drill team displays their spirit as Oak Grove makes a touchdown against loe T. Robinson. 1- Q.. X ,wxggfg 4? WY
