Miss Wyss was the adviser for the 1983 Ballet Folklorico group. This organization consisted of both female and male students at San Gorgonio with a Spanish heritage. Only those who were able to maintain their grade point averages and learn the dances were permitted to perform. Dressed in brightly colored outfits, the Ballet Folklorico per- formed at assemblies and the annual Spring Fling. Accompanied by music, the dancers impressed their audiences with numbers such as La Negra, Nopalitos, and La Revolcada. The Spring Fling was a show put on by the drill team, tall flags, and color guard. Members of the Folklorico group joined in this festivity by performing between acts by the drill team. Their dances added a new aspect to the Spring Fling. Cheryl Provence, class of 83 student life 99
