Las Seelies: A New Name Gives Group A New Identity Drill Team marched on to a better year with a new advisor. Shannon Coon, and a new name. The Las Seelies new images earned the ad- miration of the studentbody, The Las Seelies participated in the Mis Utah Drill Team competition held in Logan. Utah. At state competition the girls placed second while com- peiting against thirty other schools. They also competed in the Pacific Northwest Drill Team competition held in Boise, Idaho. The Las Seelies played host to a competition held at Alta to raise funds to compete at the Boise competition. The event was held November 16 and 17. The drill team proudly accepted an invitation to present a march for a half-time at a Utah Jazz game. They also performed at a half-time for the University of Utah and a stun- ning performance was presented for the PTA at An Evening at Alta . Much work went into the marches presented by the Las Seelies. There were 21 girls in the group and only 16 girls marched in each routine. To eliminate five, the girls had to try out for each march they performed. They spent 2-3 hours practicing dai- ly. Practices were held at Eastmont two days weekly after school. There were also practices in the fieldhouse three days weekly at 6:00 a m. The girls sacrificed their lunchbreak to add 30 minutes to their fifth period drill team class. The most noted drill the Las Schelles did was to the music Su- perman . They twirled capes, which were donated with money from community funds, while marching lively. They performed this march, and one to the music Washington Behind Closed Doors at the Boise competition. Shannon Coon points out correct way to hold arms during march. w- Las Seelies proctice competition drill before school 60 Drill Team

Club Boasts 'Tm a Pepper; you're a Pepper; he's a Pepper; she's a Pepper; wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? As the vest backs of their uniforms displayed, the '79-’80 Pep Club became known as The Peppers The club became more organized and active this year Forty-six girls were selected to support activities and athletic events by hos- tessing, boosting spirit, and donating time for hard work. Each day, during seventh period, the Journalism Pod be- came the practicing ground for cheer- ing rehearsals and a display of new hand routines The biggest hassle we had this year was trying to get all our uniforms. Months after they were supposed to be here, many of the girls had only parts of the three-piece outfits, said Judy McAllister, new club adviser The girls sold mistletoe at Christmas and skated singing telegrams on their way, at or away from school, to help with club finances The main re- sponsibilities of each girl were to at- tend class, learn routines, attend games, and help build school spirit by supporting activities with their vocal presence With forty-six girls in the stands, cheering and screaming and perform- ing for the teams, the cheerleaders and songleaders had a base of school support that became contagious to the entire studentbody. Pep Club members discuss future plans Seventh period class provided rehearsal time for Peppers 70 Pep Club
