Daily-Donovan Highstepper discipline not as strict Orange and black uniform same, flip wigs added later I-Iighsteppers were as strong a drill team unit in 1982 as they were in 1966 when they were organized by Mrs. Dorothy Mize. The discipline has changed, Mrs. Mize said. 'Tm not as strict on them as I was in the beginning. The uniforms, in orange and black, have remained the same, however the wigs were not part of the original outfit. At first everyone had the 'flip' hairstyle and the wigs weren't needed. But then their hair went from one extreme to another, so we added the wigs with the flip hairstyles to make the group look uniform on the field, she explained. Mrs. Mize left Haltom Junior to originate the Highsteppers. The name Buffalo Gals came close to being picked as did a western style uniform. Mrs. Mize hopes the I-Iighsteppers can ex- pand because the participation has dropped. The group numbered 58 in 1966, but in 1982 only 43. At one time the group numbered in the 7O's. 'AI guess students aren't as disciplined or as dedicated as they once were. Back then it was unheard of to work, even during the summer, Mrs. Mize remarked. Three year Highsteppers were Michelle Maxwell, Leanne Ashley, Kim Kingsley, Cin- dy Few, Kennily Poole, Joy Kirchdorfer, Julie Wilson, Lisa Taylor, Mona Shaw, Deanna Thornburg, Mary Trimble. At first I hated having pep rallies in the auditorium, and I griped all the time. But more people seemed to be coming and see Senior lieutenants Cindy Few, Julie Wilson, Kim Kingsley and Sandi Harris shop at Senior Citizens Fair after they help set it up. our performanceg so now I like the new change,', senior and two-year member Sandi Harris said. UI hated it. There wasn't enough room and we had to cut routines. We couldn't do hand motions because of the seating ar- rangement. Only half of the girls could per- form, which wasn't fair to the girls who put in money and effort but didn't get to per- form, first lieutenant and three-year member Cindy Few remarked.- Y V!

Besides the everyday fund-raising items to buy, seniors had purchases to make, like caps and gowns and invitations, that were an almost must -for seniors. As the years passed and prices rose, parents had to dig a little deeper into their pockets to support the senior. The invitations, selected by the senior class bore the gold emobssed coat of arms and their color was parchment. Compared to last year's cost at 31c a piece, the price rose to 36C a piece. The Herff-Jones Com- pany sold the invitations in the foyer. during November. The invitations could be bought in packages containing name cards, memory books, key chains, necklaces with the in- signia, and thank you notes. .The Collegiate Services rented caps and gowns for 316.50, 32 less than last year. The expenditure for an extra tassel was two-dollars, a 500 increase. The gowns were the traditional black. Measurements were taken for the caps, but they didn't always come back the right size. Many students complained that the caps were too large and gowns too long or short. My cap is huge. l don't have that big of a headf, commented John Baxter, senior. 'fMy robe is almost to the ground, com- plained Anne Roberts, senior. Another item bought by seniors only was the senior composite picture. This picture caused quite a few problems. One was that the picture was taken during the junior year. The other problem, the price. The picture was usually taken during the senior year as a group picture and cost 37. The composite was 313.50 and individual pictures on one mat. Many students refused to buy the pic- tures because they were not satisfied. Many complained of the quality and cost. The pictures are not what I thought they would be. 313.50 is just too much to pay and I didn't even put a deposit down to order one. The students could get their money back if they wrote Smiley Photography and complained. And no one can forget the senior pictures taken at Marcel's. The sitting fee was 33.50, but if you ordered extra pictures it could cost 3100 or more. ln order to have a pic- ture in the yearbook Marcel's had to take it during the summer. So being a senior was not cheap. A good average price for being a senior was probably 3240.50 This estimate included the composite, caps and gowns, 375 for Marcel's pictures, 364 for invitations, and 316 for prom ticketsl 38 SENIORS
