Revelliers Win First Place In All San Antonio Events “We have had an excellent year. That's why we won in the San Antonio competition - we came together and worked hard! said Revellier Sponsor Mrs. Martin. The Revelliers placed first in all events at the San Antonio competition May 9-10 including team, officers, and line events, which were of the highest prestige. They also won the sweepstakes and super-sweepstakes awards. Entries included three dances by the lines, three dances by the officers, and 200 other routines that won the best choreography in the entire contest. I think that in San Antonio we proved a lot to the people here, and there, that we are awesome and that Hastings doesn’t hold a candle to us!” exclaimed Junior Tracy Kizziar. The Revelliers were not greatly affected by the House Bill 72. but Mrs. Martin said she “sees it causing future problems.” She stated. “Most of the girls can do well in all their classes except one. so that causes them to be ineligible.” ”1 joined the Revies to show spirit for the school and to show my talent for something I like to do.” stated Junior Wendy Arnold. The Revies practiced until 4:30 every weekday because they always had some event to practice for. Their involvement spanned from parts in Our Town, officer tryouts, the Autumn Festival Parade, talent shows, middle school performances, every football and basketball game, every available pep rally, to the six hour dance-a-thon for the American Heart Association. They also attended workshops at various high schools in Spring Branch. Alief. and Houston school districts. “I think that practice is the key to success and you have to put in as much as you want to get out of it. That’s what Revies is all about!” said Sophomore Monica Covington. Mrs. Martin became the Revelier sponsor because she was a dance major in college. She loved dancing and movement and the Revies were the closest thing to dancing in high school. Before she moved to Texas, she coached a drill team in Salt Lake City. Utah which placed first in Nationals. Ever since then she has become very involved in dancing. By T. Murdock. Reporter Senior Sue Lee. a three year Revie. practices her favorite Jazz routine.

Photo by V. Pai Terri-Spirited, Supportive She is spirited, supportive, and a good leader! described Senior Tru Luu about the High Point Revellier. The girl Tru was talking about is Senior Terri Bullington. Terri was a very active person who attended most of the basketball and baseball games besides every football game. She was a Revellier for two years. The Revies have really helped me to know who I am and what I can really do that I enjoy. said Terri. Even though she had a busy schedule, Terri worked at Pelican Cleaners. Among Terri’s awards were Girl of the Day at summer camp and The Football Girl of the Week Award. She planned to attend Stephen F. Austin University in the fall of 1986. Terri is an all around good Revellier who is a model to a lot of the girls.” commented Sponsor Mrs. Martin. By T. Murdock.
