Leadership Club Leoders Serve 350 Students Pcincci ke Breo kfost Bonanza's first Pancake Breakfast was sponsored by the Leadership Club on the Thursday following Spirit Week. It was originally to be during Spirit Week, but it was postponed due to snow. This was the major fund-raising project for financing their goal - a club trip to Washington, D.C. in the spring. The Leadership Club was new this year. It was composed of members of the Leadership class which was an early-bird course taught by Dayle Fitzpatrick. The purpose of this class and club was to acquaint the students with school and community areas of leadership in which they could actively participate. The mem- bers were those students who were inter- ested in playing a major role in Bonan- za's activities and in pursuing leadership roles after graduation. Due to the suc- cess of the class there were eight more students that joined the class at the semester. LEADERSHIP CLUB. Front row: Warren Peterson.

.LLL Drill Teom Step Closer to Storclom On November 1, 1978, the Bonanza Golden Girls came one step closer to stardom. They were invited to make a cameo appearance in the new television series, VegaS. They and the band left the school at 6:00 a.m. to head for the Hughes Air Terminal. The girls didn't mind the eleven long hours on the set, because the handsome actors Robert Urich and Clifton Davis kept them entranced. On January 17, 1979 each girl watched eagerly to see the final result on T.V. ' Competitions throughout the year kept the girls in constant training. Though it was hard work, they were rewarded many times over. During the summer they won a second place for their Summer Nights Routine. On November 4, the girls won a first place trophy in the small dance division with Summer Nights and a second place trophy in large military division with Flock Me at the Southwestern Clinic Drill Team Competi- tion. They went in February to Santa Monica for Miss Drill Team U.S.A. pageant. This was a national competition. They per- formed three routinesp California Strut - small military divi- sion, Can't You Feel a Brand New Day? - small dance divi- sion and Summer Nights - novelty division. Tammy Smith was chosen as the Golden Girl to represent them in the individ- ual competition. The girls also had many extra-curricular activities. On Octo- ber 5 they participated in the Honda Convention at the Aladdin. They performed for over 7,000 Honda dealers. Two days later they performed in a U.N.L.V. halftime review. All the bands and drill teams in Clark County participated in this halftime. They sponsored the Sadie Hawkins assembly and dance in November. During the assembly they performed the hilarious pillow case routine in which they wore king sized pillow cases over their heads with suit jackets around their waist. The effect made them look like short bodied people with large heads that were awkwardly graceful. In December they again helped out at the third annual Chili Cook-off at Circus Circus. At the cook-off the girls wore their sequined outfits and carried bowls of chili from the parking lot to the judges banquet room on the second floor of the hotel. ft? 44 A During their California Strut performance for the Homecoming assembly the Golden Girls again wowed the audience with their jump- splits.
