HONORED. Junior Heather Sonntag dis- blays her ribbon for Lariette of the Week. Y WORKOUT. Junior Christi Bar- goes through a 'I a.m. practice. You have to keep up your grades and conduct and still perform the routine well. Nicole Hatcher, sophomore Their changing ways Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same, but for the drill team, hardly anything stayed the same. This year the girls are choreograph- ing their own routines, said Mrs. Pam Draper, sponsor. Very few other drill teams do that, added co-sponsor ludy Weyer. To have more hours to work on their own choreographed routines, the girls voted on 7 a.m. practices. Early morning practices are great, better than staying after school, soph- omore Kristi lones said. Besides the extra practices before school, drill team became a class dur- ing the school day. But the two-hour practices helped to bring members even closer together. The most exciting thing that has happened in drill team to me would be making friends with everyone and be- coming a family, said sophomore Kim Wood. We have had some hard times, but we got through them. We're just one big happy family. The talent and creativity of the drill team was influenced by the exception- al leadership of its officers, said several members. The officers respect us and are also really involved with the drill team members, said sophomore Shannon Henderson. The girls also participated in more activities outside of school. Besides having slumber parties, during the win- ter holidays the girls traveled to a re- tirement home and performed. They really appreciated us per- forming for them, and they were so nice we almost cried when we had to leave, junior Christi Barrett said.

Hello, When the fall musical Bye Bye Bird- ie hit the stage, the production not only involved members of the student body, but also included faculty, school board members, parents, and other members of the community. There were a lot of scheduling con- flicts with students, said Mr. Wilson, especially about rehearsals on week- ends. ln deciding on Birdie as the fall play, Mr. Pete Wilson, drama teacher and director of the play, thought he had the people he needed to make the produc- tion work but said that he was surprised at the new talent that he discovered in the auditions. D'Ann Whitsell fchosen for the lead part of Rosie Alvarezl has not even been in drama, and l didn't know she could sing so well, said Mr. Wilson. lt was really a nice surprise when she performed at the auditions. With such a large cast involved, the play took many weeks of preparation, but audiences were large and the play well received. lt's always rewarding for the stu- dents to see their hard work come to- gether in the performances and to real- ize that their talent is appreciated by their peers and the community, said Mr. Wilson.
