Traditional pep and spirit The few, the proud - MN Pom-Pon Were the hours of effort worthwhile for the 1982-83 Pom-Pon Corps? When asked, Cathy Reeds, sophomore, said, ‘There is a sensation when you are out there.” For years, the Pom-Pon Corps has ex- celled in performance, last year being no exception. The Corps started the year by winning a total of eight trophies at sum- mer camp in Vincennes, Indiana. From there the style of performance only got better. The 53 members of the Corps practiced every day after school. During football season, the Corps practiced with the Marching Band. So doing, they coordinat- ed the music, marching, and flagdrills. The Pommies also practiced Monday and Thursday nights to perfect the halftime routines. ‘The long hours of practice and being together have paid off. Now we are a family and we can work together for perfection!” said Theresa Hedigar, junior. y k routi el the pommies : C “ naintain their finishin e as they await the start Nb nial 9f the next son v yh J VS a Counting the ee Rae mae steps, Carol Clasby (y BY) (Ca Al and me hards, bi , CO enths n their 0) Gatts n half time s OF yt ae v H | ee ai we we” A: : ue Ww v % 1 aie D Ebmpteting their nthe ° All in all, through practices, perfor- mances, fund raisers, and service pro- jects, the Corps spent an estimated 600 hours together. Most important were the performances. Kathy Smith, junior, said, “L enjoy performing because it makes the audience happy too.” “The Pom-Pon Corps have always been easy to work with and ex- tremely cooperative.” - Linton Luetje During the break between football and basketball seasons, the Corps still was prepared for upcoming events. Deciding on what basketball routines to perform, the girls planned the annual McCluer North Pom-Pon Clinic; they also began choreographing their competition routine for the spring.
