Through all the days of summer camp, after-school practices, and three-minute half-time performances, the personalities of the 30 girls who made up the 1985-86 Hawkettes squad began to take form and stand out. Captain Angel Viviano C122 said, It's really funny the way some of us had different personalities that were so noticeable. It's almost like we picked the way each of us were going to act at the beginning of the year. One example of a unique Hawkette personality is the girl who played the role of the beauty queen. She was the individual who showed up to practice wearing her prom dress and thought sweat was a four-letter word. Gina Lederle C105 said, There's always one person who is afraid to roll around on the ground and get dirty. Along with the hard work of creating a routine Came the turmoil of teaching it to the squad. This caused the girl who was better known as the creator to show her true colors. She always had a better dancing step for the routine than the one being taught at the time. This girl, who was also a serious critic, created every new step. She was never satisfied and found something wrong with everything. Beth Osterloh C10j said, You can never really please everyone with every step. People have differ- ent ideas and they always like their own the best. Another type of Hawkette that stood out was the food HHWKETTE TRHITS quad Shows true Colors addict. The girl always found difficulty hooking up for kicks because of the interference of potato chips and a Hershey bar in one hand and a Diet Coke in the other. Keri Trittler C125 said, Every year we have had someone who ate more than everybody else, but this year it was pretty much the whole squad. Along with their positions on Hawkettes, there were always one or two girls who played the role of the super student. This type was president of her class, secretary of the Pep Club, writer for the yearbook, a musician in the school musical, and manager of the baseball team. She managed to juggle these many activities within the two- hour time period after school. Lisa Blue C12j said, I'm involved in a lot of activities, and it can be hard to find time for all of them. You have to learn to set your priorities straight. It may seem that with so many unique individuals, the Hawkettes were in a continued state of chaos. However, this was not the case. Determination, dedication, and motivation were all key ingredients. Members said indi- vidual personalities and talents never got the better of teamwork. Lynn Patterson C121 observed, Every now and then we all would get a little snippy with each other for different reasons, but the problems always worked themselves out in the end.

The changes that had been made by the Golden Girls were very clear for the audience to see. Miss Rebecca Badger was added to the squad as sponsor and with her came new ideas feelings, and influences. The members of the corps make up the routines that the girls perform. This year they have been trying a lot of new steps using more pop music. They seem to enjoy the changes that have been made, said Miss Badger. The girls worked long hours preparing for their perfor- mances. Andrea Bay served as captain, and Stephanie Turner and Eleanor Tiroch as co-captains. These leaders were not new to the squad. Andrea was a Golden Girl for four years and Stephanie for three. They knew what it took to make the group a squad. Like a team, they all had to give their best to make it work. We have had our arguments but no matter what we say or do, we never stop caring for each other, said Traci Wheeler flll. A special event for the spring was the performance at Disney World. The Golden Girls traveled to Florida with the band and Hawkettes. Money was raised by selling pizzas, candy and calendars. The squad also included Central's feature twirler Kelly Awaifing the band. Golden Girls Andrea Bay f12l and Angela Pressley 4103 stand in line prepared to perform their routine. Marching onto the field, Tricia Cuddy C101 finds her pace on the line before getting ready to begin the half -time Homecoming game per. formance. Girls Change in Season Koerner 1125. Kelly was crowned Miss Majorette of Missouri when she participated in a competition at Fox High School in Arnold, Mo. For Kelly and the Golden Girls, praise and apprecia- tion has been hard to gain from some fans. The Golden Girls deserve more recognition because we put forth a lot of effort and hard work. Not everyone can twirl a flag. It's hard work although it looks easy, commented Stephanie. Recognition was finally shown for the Golden Girls at the senior basketball game on February 21. The seniors performed to Oh Sheila'7 as they surprised the audience with their show of dancing and twirling. At the Riverview game, I really thought the Golden Girls looked better than ever. The routine was very instep. You could tell they were enjoying themselves, said Dayna Clark C121 The Golden Girls changed in their dress, style, and performance but their importance to the band did not. They were still looked upon as the introduction to the band as they carried the Nation's flag and the school flag. The girls represented Central in more ways than one and their duties could not be replaced by any other organiza- tion. There may have been different faces, uniforms, and routines but the responsibilities and duties were still as important as yesterday. CLisa Headrickj P ssl. .X 1. 3 , ,i n K ij! EL 4 Ke Kg
