Pioneer Patrol Dancing the Night Away ' ' u The Pioneer Patrol is made up of a group of dedicated, hardworking girls. This group was brought together this year by advisor. Miss Irene Ramos. The Pion eer Patrol performs at rallies, baskerball games, and at many schools. This IS not only a dance and a rap group, but has come together as a family, to help the kids of to- day to stay off drugs, to go to school, and to become the very best person they can be. The Pioneer Patrol has had lots of hard work- ing, breath taking practice sessions. They rehearsed many long, hard hours perfecting their routines, and they were GREAT! Miss Ramos was very special for the Pioneer Patrol this year. She helped with all the prac- tices, directed the fund raisers, put together the outfits, directed the choreography, and picked out the music. Pioneer Patrol ' s in the House .

They represent excellence in athletics at Artesia over the past 33 years. And the pride continues! The year began with another league title in football and progressed from there. The basketball, wrestling, soccer, track, and baseball teams all had outstanding seasons. Athletics + Artesia = superiority + pride. Athletics j 133
