T LE TED DANCERS emember that talented group of dancers who per- formed at the special half- time show? Well, those girls were members of the Eldor- ado Drill Team fSundancersl. The Sundancers dedicate themselves to promoting school spirit at pep assemblies and football games. Under the direction of Ms. Averett, these girls perform their dance routines with a special pride and self-confidence. What do these girls feel about their participation in the Sun- dancer Drill Team? Well,l inter- viewed some members. Yoon Choi fSophomoreJ enjoys the benefits of exercise, weight main- tainance, and an easy grade. She also loves to dance. Yoon thinks that practicing early in the morn- ing and having to see her fair flat are the hardest parts of being a Sundancer. Anne Kuminecz fSophomorel believes that being a Sundancer means putting forth all your ef- fort and talent to make the Sun- dancer Drill Team the best that it can be. To show school spirit and dedication to the art of dance. When Anne first performed, she held a feeling of accomplishment but she was also filled with a lot of nervousness. The thing she en- joys most about being a Sun- dancer is performing in front of an audience. Being able to share with the audience the final prod- uct of the long grueling hours spent on the routine, is some- thing she really likes. The har- dest part of being a Sundancer, Anne says, is being able to prac- tice a routine while putting ener- gy, effort, and style into it even if you're tired or in a bad mood. Mary Riceoppo Sophomore says that getting up in the morn- ing and the mostly painful prac- tices are the hardest parts of be- ing a Sundancer. She loves to dance. lt's good exercise and it's fun! When asked how she felt when she first performed, she re- plied that she was very nervous and exhilerated, but that it was lots of fun. She says that being a Sundancer means the world! to her. lt's very important to me. As you can see, these girls take dancing seriously and they also enjoy what they do. Eldorado is very appreciative of the Sun- dancer Drill Team. Your efforts and team co-operation show in your performances, Sundancers. Keep up the great workl - WY- - un.. us.-u -.v uvwv--ly--.p-1 ue.. .vu tine. The Flags show their talent and co-ordination during half-time. The football players watch an injured JoDean perform.

PRACTICE M KES PERFECT eople often ask, What is a Sunspot? ls it one of the dark spots that appear from time to time on the surface of the sun? ls it that area on the beach where you can get that perfect tan? Or is it one of those weird 60's rock groups that your parents used to listen to? The Eldorado Sunspots are a group of dedicated girls who cheer for the wrestlers, as well as keep score and times at the wres- tling matches. The Sunspots also accompany the wrestlers on their out of town trips. When asked why she became a Sunspot, Jessica Clair, Junior, re- plied, lt was the fun and adven- ture the other Sunspots told me about. l appreciate wrestling and have school spirit. I 9 The Teams appreciate 1 V ,A eg , what we do. When we V- E fx cheer they know we're behind them 1O00l'o, - gf? 4 ,,,, tg - ,lv ,1a', says Kim Spivey, Junior. Along with the trips and the fun comes the work. The Sunspots practice approximately one hour per week for matches. ln order to prepare for their Open House cheer, they practiced six hours. lt takes a lot of team work and dedication to make the Sunspots a success. When asked how they feel about the wrestlers, Belinda Nielson, Junior, replied, One of the wrestlers told us that the Wres- tlers and the Sunspots are like brothers and sisters. We're one big happy family. I feel that the wrestlers appreciate what we do, except when we mess up . . . Wres- tlers have very short tempers when it comes to winning a matchl Krista Brooks, Theresa Paris, Cathy Falcone, and Nicole Lilly, taking time out to pose for a picture.
