Childhood dreams come true Pride shines through by Julie Herrington I can remember when I was about eleven or twelve. I had decided that, as I went through life, I was going to make people happy and l was going to dance. After I made pom pon, I realized that I had accomplished both of these. I am very proud of the squad. All of us gave at least 100 'MI and some- times a whole lot more. Being head was very challenging. I learned how to be patient with the squad as well as with myself. Terri Perrin and Nancy Mohler were ex- tremely helpful to me and they knew that the success of the squad de- pended a lot on the seniors. Connie Robbins, Vicki Vande Velde, and Jannie Brady were very dedicated and a lot of fun to work with. It is to these girls I say thank youg you were all great.
