The last two activities for the group, their Spring Concert and their entertainment provided at gradua- tion, added the final touches to a successful year.

4-12-9-20-17 Waiting in the dressing room, going over and over the routine, making sure everyone had their gloves, pom-pons, or whatever outer necessities they needed, the Bull-ettes pom-pon squad was always in a frantic frenzy just before a performance. One would think these girls were performing in front of the crowd at the NCAA Basketball championship game between Houston and North Carolina. The pom-pon girls had nothing to worry about. The fact that the music could barely be heard above a whisper because of the rowdy crowd at the first home game against Newcastle wasn't their fault. On the other hand, no one will ever forget how Kim T’s 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 counting was disrupted bv a few pranksters 4-12-9-20-17 counting. Well, it worked and she got off count. (Her routine looked like 4-12-9- 20-17 — what an initiation!). Then there was the time when the lights didn't come on and the crowd got to enjoy the start of the routine in the dark. And of course, nobody noticed Debbie F.'s little slip on the pom-pon. The routines weren't always total disasters, but when they were, it wasn't as big a deal to everyone else as it was to the Bull-ettes. It just made their waiting in the dressing room and going over and over the routine even more frantic the next time around.
