n .ij ► Drill team makes its mark Bright smiles, mastered routines, and the sparkle of new uniforms have helped the drill te.im make a mark for itself. Although it has onU l-icen back at La Serna for two years, the I drill team has grown to thirty-eight members. According to Captain Tori Jacinto, more people, better leadership, and more ex- perience have really helped the team. This year, the drill team has participated in compe- titions at Cal Poly, Sierra Vista, Mission Viejo, Cal Hi and at Jamborre and has man- aged to place in either first or second in most of them. In May, the drill team hoped to perform in the celebration festivities commemorating the Whittier Centennial. J , •.ii.rS ' ' ..ii ?Sai «Aw- ' j£i ' (top left) Jodi McCamly is all smiles.
