128 short fl Shortlzlogs Comp Trciining Yields More Skill Bake sales, car washes, receiving donations, and selling tumbler glasses were among the various summer activi- ties of the Short Flags. The money raised from these sales were used for sending the team to the Camp of Champs in La Jolla, California. Spending three days at camp, the squad brought back various individual and group awards. Nikke D'Ambrosio and Debbie Sutton were in the final marching drill down. Nikke went on to place first in the competition. Kelly Clif- ton and Joy Donato were finalists in the command drill down. As a group the girls were honored with the award of the Most Improved. Two major changes took place with the team. First their adviser Mrs. Prybil resigned so the girls were led by Presi- dent Joy Donato and Drill Mistress Jana Dimmitt. Mrs. Dalimare, a new counselor to Bonanza, soon became their adviser. The second major change was the girls didn't march with band at all home games. They only marched at the home- coming game. They performed to records at most assemblies. Because they concentrated and used only short flags this year, they attained better rou- tines. A The Short Flags group display one of their many roll-offs to Get-Off.

During the Thanksgiving holiday, the girls traveled to Disneyland and came home with two superior rib- bons. Previously in July they had attended the Camp of Champs in Santa Monica and brought back to B.H.S. an astounding twenty-seven superior ribbons and trophies. Using a mixture of jazz and cheer movements the songlead- ers performed to either popular tunes of the year or to music provided by the B.H.S. band. The girls set their goal to perform a new routine each assem- bly. In order to accomplish this they danced every early bird hour and sometimes met for the rehearsals after school. For Homecoming they performed The Stripper. For Sadie Hawkins they donned flannel shirts and overalls and danced to Grandpa Jones' song Mountain Dew. Greased Lightning called for satin shorts, but the The Stripper routine called for, as did the MacArthur Park Medley, leotards. All these girls' costumes were created or paid for by each girl.
