HAUSERETTES Many Modifications The Hauserette season was one of changes. One of which was changing sponsors. Mrs. Susan Norman became the new sponsor when she took over for Mrs. Joyce Thompson. Susan said, I was a Hauserette when I was in school, but it has changed a lot. One thing that changed is the direction they face. When Susan took over as sponsor, she revised the demerit system. The girls received two demerits for unexcused absences at practices and the captains and Melanie Stone balances on a chair which was used as a prop in There's No Stopping Us during the Hauserettes final performance. lieutenants received three. Demerits also were given for not dressing out for practice, not bringing pompons or gloves, or being late to practices or performances. After receiving ten demerits, a girl was not allowed to be in the next dance. Although no one was benched, the demerit system helped. It encouraged everyone to be there when they didn't always feel like practicing, said Roxann Sigman. The Hauserettes also received new uniforms consisting of skirts, sequined cumberbunds and se-quined bow ties. The girls held bake sales and car washes to help cover expenses of the new uniforms and paid $ 15.00 each. Getting new uniforms was something we wanted to do since my freshman year. It would have been impossible if we hadn't helped make them ourselves, said Donju Taylor. Despite all of the changes, the Hauserettes performed well. I think Susan really helped us. Because of her experience, she knew how we felt and could tell us how to improve our performances, said Melanie Stone.

Pam Hancock measures out chocolate chips for the cookies that were baked by the Jetstream staff. The cookies were made for the homecoming breakfast that was allowed by the administration, who overlooked the C G rules. Fancy Four Lights were out, a spotlight was on, and excitement filled the gym. These were some of the changes which made homecoming unique from past years. Four seniors represented the whole school instead of the traditional two girls from each class. Along with this change, the date was moved to February because there were no home games during December. Changes were also made concerning introducing the candidates during the ceremony. A spotlight was used to create an atmosphere of enchantment while a brief summary of each girl's activities was announced. The Jetstream staff wanted to change the homecoming dance, as well. Since it was Valentine's Day, they combined the themes of sweetheart and homecoming. A photo board of a heart and two cupids was drawn and painted by the Jetstream staff. People who attended the dance could get their pictures taken behind it, using their heads in place of the cupid's heads. I thought that Valentine's Day made this years homecoming unique. The yearbook staff put a lot of time and hard work into making homecoming different. The candidates also worked hard with their various fund raisers. Being crowned queen and sharing that moment with the other girls really made all my efforts Pay off, stated Tina Moss. Homecoming 19
