38 f Bonnies Pride Prevails Bonnie Buchanans are up each morning to practice an hour before school as well as after school, striv- ing for perfection as their upcoming events get closer. Their goal was a short spring trip since last year they went to Washington, D.C. To raise money for this trip, the girls sold fruit, gold passbooks, and popcorn. Parades they participated in were the SMSLI Homecoming, Oct. 24, Veterans' Day, Nov. 11, the Forsyth and Christmas parades, Dec. 12 and Dec. 14. Our girls have tried really hard this year, and since there were 32 new girls, it was hard at first. But with the help of our new sponsor, Mrs. Marilyn Gugel, we all pulled together, said majorette Leslie Walker. Besides all of the hard work, we found time to have some fun, said assistant senior twirler Lisa Betts. They enjoyed kidnaps, socials, holi- day parties, bunking parties, etc. Each girl had a big or little sister. At initiation, held at South Haven Baptist Church, the new girls receiv- been in- ed pins showing they had itiated and these pins were given to them by their big sisters. The following are the Buchanan field officers: Leslie Nickle, Bonnie Walker, majorette, Beth assistant majorette and drum cap- tain, Kim Holt, assistant drum cap- tain, Andrea Irvin, second assistant drum captain, Michelle Green, bugle, Debbie Blevins, assistant bugle, Kim Copeland, senior twirler, Lisa Betts, assistant senior twirler, Laura Barber, junior twirler, Barbara Burgess, assistant junior twirler, Teresa Collier, American flag, Judy Cantrell, assistant American flag, Melinda Hellyer, Bonnie flag.
