, 17 K Al Blowin' in the lwnd Fifteen enthusiastic high school girls, one dedicated choir teach- er, and a lot of hard work. These were the ingredients to a successful year for the Flag Team. Mr. Sliger advised the fifteen girls who worked extra hard and added some life and excite- ment to our half-time shows during football season. Amy Barrett and Michelle Briggs, co-captains, were a great deal of help to the other girls on the team.
