Under the di- rection of Mr. and Mrs. Slenker, we performed our routines alone and with the band for football and basketball games. The Gold Jct. collaborated with the cheerleaders as we fin- ished the season by per- forming a routine to the popular song, HGrease,H at the Courtwarming bas- ketball game. It was our hope that the Gold Jct. would become a tradition at Drexel. ABOVE LEFT: Kristie, Kim and Pam practice marching with the band. LEFT: Gold Jct. performs at a foot- ball game.
