Hard practices pay off for girls Keeping busy almost every day, the Steppers, Majorettes and Colorguard practiced. Steppers, with their red and black uniforms and pom poms, went to summer practices from 7 till 9 a.m. three days a week. Majorettes had a different schedule. At first, they practiced from 6 to 8 in the evening, then switched to 6 to 8 in the morning. They tried new things. They twirled fire batons at the Homecoming game. At Christmas time, they used flashlight batons at an assembly. New uniforms were worn by the Colorguard. They, too, practiced quite a bit. It took time and discipline for them to learn new steps. These three groups have spent many hours practicing, and their perfor- mances were appreciated by spec- tators.

Marching Scarlets highlight half- time at K.C. Chiefs ' football game Trying for a closer unity were 180 members of the Marching Scarlets. They all worked together — 110 band members, 46 Steppers, five Majorettes, and 19 Colorguards — to form a large group of performers. Football fans were entertained during pre-game and half-time performances. The groups also performed at Kansas City ' s Worlds of Fun, and band and Majorettes performed at half-time during a Kansas City Chiefs ' game. Mr. Bury, the band director, said, They looked good and performed well. It ' s nice to be at a pro game. Silver Dollar City was another place where they performed successfully, in April. Many fund-raising projects were undertaken: selling socks, cheese, and candy were just a few. The sophomores were enthusiastic about becoming a part of this group. Mr. Bury said, It was better and bigger than ever before. There were more sophomores interested than ever. 1 3ft ABOVE: Marching Scarlets were one group chosen, out of five other high schools and one college, to perform at the Kansas City Chiefs ' football game during the half-time.

Boys 3rd in Districts; girls 6th in Metro Cross country had a well balanced team effort. They ran well, placing high in numerous meets, and were paced by Brad Brown, Mark Crawford, and Larry Hudson. The boys ' team finished third out of 17 teams in the districts and eleventh out of 68 teams in the state. They ended the year in fourth place in the Metro. The coach of the team was Mr. Phipps. Junior Mark Crawford started the year as the number three runner, but ended in the second position. There were 22 people who finished the season, and 16 lettered. Two difficulties hurt the girls ' cross country team. They were hampered by injuries and by not having enough girls out. There were only five girls out and one of them was injured. The team had to forfeit several meets, in which they weren ' t permitted to run because there were not enough members. The tri- captains of the team were seniors Sue Tarr, Joan Green, and Roberta Michener. Teresa Satterfield and Colleen Collette were the other two runners. The team was coached by Mr. Graves. Sue Tarr was the number one runner until she was injured. TOP RIGHT: Brad Brown studies oponents before a meet with Hoover. ABOVE: Larry Pratt loosens up before a meet with Valley.
