It began in Stennis Hall with the selection of eight girls, who of- ficially started our duties July 5, 1985, on the campus of West Florida University at a four day Dance Camp. After camp we had the rest of the summer to prepare for an exciting year of dance. A lot of hard work and dedication is put into the Dance Team. A special thanks is offered to Mrs. Ann Bradberry, the sponsor. Her time and concern for the Dance Team is greatly appreciated. 1985 LIONS PRIDE DANCE TEAM Shlynn Dora Kristi Atkins 12 Suzi Thompson Captain Lori Atkins Robbi Madison Brenda Cayson Lauren King Tina LeVert 13 It was Spirit Week, right?
