Behind the Scenes Fillies Prepare for Follies prained ankles, shin splints, pulled muscles, ripped tights, holes in the soles of shoes. What does this all mean? To a football player, it means the beginning of football season, but to a Fillle it means the beginning of the endless practices in preparation for Fillle Follies. Every afternoon the Fillies spent hours learning and relearn- ing endless drills until they could perform them by heart. Each Fillie learned approximately five routines for the Follies. There were plenty of routines to choose from. There were the 3-year Fillies' routines lthat is if you've been a Fillle for three yearsj , the classes' routines fsophomore, junior, and seniorj, the jazz and kick companies' routines, the squads' routines lthere are 8 of thosej, then there comes Fillies of the Week's, the officers' routines, the captain's solo, and the Grand Finale. That's alot of routines to learn in two months. ln the actual performances of the Follies, there have been many changes. The showing of the Follies was moved this year from mid-February to March 7-9. A new emcee had to be picked to replace Coach Dwain Bean, emcee of the Follies for ten years, who retired at the end of last year's Follies. Since the Fillies could not afford to pay someone professionally, they conducted an open audition for some of the talented students who attend DHS. Reggie Jackson and Stan Pruett were chosen to emcee the 1985 Follies. The open audition tor stu- dent emcees will become a year- ly event. by Christiane Bartee P Christi King works toward perfec- tion in the iunior's routine. 22 FILLIES

STUDENT COUNCIL Putting Pride in their School 'xl elping the school in anyway possible, the Student Council started the year with sophomore orientation where Principal Mr. Ivan Glasscock welcomed sophomores and new students. The Homecoming Dance was organized by Student Council. Arrangements were made to have it in the Garden Room at TWU. They came up with the theme Purple Reign. A list was kept in the Student Council Room of all the teachers birthdays and cookies and brownies along with a card were delivered to the teachers on their special day. A concession stand, run by Student Council Leadership class members was open every- day during both lunches, and basketball and volleyball games. Secret Pals was a stu- dentffaculty relationship project. Students chose a secret pal from the participating teachers and exchanged gifts. This project was organized by Student Coun- cil twice a year. The gifts and notes that were exchanged were taken to the Student Council Room and delivered each day. At the end of the six-weeks, a breakfast was given, where the teachers discovered who their secret pal was. Elementary schools were con- tacted to locate less fortunate children to participate in Project Adoption. Fifty-five to 65 children were matched up with homeroom classes for a Christmas party. Each class raised about S60 for its child. by Tammy Barnett 24 STUDENT COUNCIL a 1 2393.3 53 if ..
