Glenda Steyskal Debbie Peckenpaugh Kristi Eberlein Lori Fellows The Mazama Dance Team, the Dazz- lin’ Dancers, now in their third year consists of twenty-one girls with Ms. Susan Ayarbe as advisor. Dance Team is a year-round activity which takes up much time and effort. During the summer, the girls attend practices twice a week. In addition to this there are many fund raising activi- ties, such as car washes and hot dog sales. At the end of July many members go to the U.S.A. Drill Team camp at Corvalis, OR. This year the Dazzlin’ Dancers won numerous outstanding, excellent, and superior ribbons, in addi- tion to a spirit award. The Dance Team also marched in the Jefferson Day’s Pa- rade, taking a first place ribbon. During the school year, the squad practices Monday-Friday for an hour and a half. The dance team can be seen performing at Pep assemblies, football games, parades, and basketball games. They also sell programs, sponsor dances and sell homecoming mums to raise money for uniforms.

performed for 3 churches in concert and received lovely dinners as a reward. The highpoint of the tour for the mem- bers of the group was the 30 minute show at the Plaza Garden Theatre at Disneyland where we were rewarded with a standing ovation for our pop- music show. With great fatigue and great elation we returned to finish up the year. The final event was a special showing of the 30 minute show to the 3rd Edition families followed by a bar- becue. From my standpoint it was a simply wonderful year not only because it gave these students such fine experiences, but because 1 had the opportunity to get to know them personally and that is special. Jackie Sinks Director The Third Edition experienced a wonderful year filled with exciting new challenging opportunities. It began with their invitation to perform for the music educators in Ashland in October followed by an invitational madrigal festival in Medford in November and continued through the many perfor- mances requested by the community throughout the December weeks. There were numerous fund-raising events from candy sales to poster sales to bake sales to car washes. There was also an elegant Christmas dinner which was prepared and served by members of the 3rd Edition and their families. The highlight of the spring semester was a wonderful 4 day 5 night concert tour to California. We performed at the Southern California Heritage Festival and received the highest ranking from both adjudicators for the festival.
