They were very busy from the end of May and never slowed down to breathe. The summer began at camp, which was at Texas Women's University at Denton. At TWU the girls received 175 ribbons, which they earned daily. At the final evalua- tion they received a superior rating and trophy, People think that in the summer we goof offg it's a lot of hard work and sweatf' - Melissa Boss This year at camp I was so proud of my new girls, each day I could see them work and improve, said Mrs. Dorothy Mize, sponsor. The six new officers also attended another camp at TWU and brought home 35 ribbons and a superior trophy. Dee Dee McDade was chosen runner up to the most outstanding girl at the entire camp. 52 I-Iighsteppers ln August practice began at eight. They worked every day practicing, stretching, and perfecting routines from camp which they were to perform at pep rallies, football and basketball games. Service projects were also a major part of activities. Many girls served dinner at the an- nual Haltom-Richland Chamber of Com- merce Banquet and helped senior citizens unload their sale items. For fund-raising projects they did inven- tory for Sanger Harris and put together a calendar of the 'iMen of Haltomf' The junior and senior girls were polled to see who would be on the calendar. At the I-laltom-Richland Area Pageant, selected girls were asked to perform. A number to L'Twilight Zonev opened the show and i'Pac Manl' opened the second act. April brought the annual show, and each squad choreographed their own number to the song of their choice. Other numbers were also done by the girls, but this year was the first time that people other than drill team members were in the show. Afterwards squad routines were taken to the junior highs to try to encourage girls to try out to be a part of the group. Cf Annette Parrigan mimes Olivia Newton-John's hit song Heart Attack at the spring show.
