Flag Team- Better Than Ever! Even though all but three were rook- ies, Flag Team had a great year. They accompanied the Band to all half- time shows and to parades. Adviser Merv Sliger taught the basics, but al- lowed team members to help create routines. Mr. Sliger said they learned more quickly than ever before, and gave consistently excellent perfor- mances. Member Portia Johnson said ‘‘We all worked hard on an indi- vidual basis, but in the end, it was the total team performance that ex- celled. The community really appre- ciated the team because they repre- sented the school very well wherever they went. For most people, the complex moves of 14 flags all at once was the best part of a routine, while others appreciated the concentra- tion evident on the girls’ faces. As always, the wind was the greatest en- emy of the Flag Team. Front Row: Portia Johnson, Michelle Briggs, Carla Jalbert, Wendy Rollins, and Kari Grant. Row 2: Jane Wheeler, Terri Clemenson, Stephanie Pyeatt, Maria Jenkins, Kris Southam, Crissy Tieman, Debbie Weyh, Jill lles, and Heather Geer. Missing: Mr. Sliger, Ad- viser. 1: Crissy Tieman participated in the half time show at the Mount Vernon game. 2: Jill lles and captain Terri Clemenson were intent on their routine at half time. 3: The flag team performed during half time. 4: Jane Wheeler took her routine seriously and performed with dedication. 16 Flag Team
