Dragonettes work for perfection. When school ended in May, work was just beginning for the 1982-83 Drill Team. In June, these 46 young ladies worked for one week from 8-10 a.m. to prepare for camp. They at- tended camp at SMU in Dallas and learned a variety of routines including prop, kick, jazz, and grandstand. They returned home with the Spirit Pom. This is an award given to the most well behaved and courteous group of girls. During the month of August, the Dragonettes prepared for another pre- football performance. The Dixie Major and Dixie Boys Baseball World Series was held at Pete Smith Baseball Complex here in Nacogdoches. The Dragonettes performed at the opening banquet and at the opening night entertainment. Football season brought on more work. Everyday during sixth period and after school, the drill team could be seen in the auxilary gym working on routines for the football games and pep rallies. All of this work pays off in the long run, though. When the Dragonettes step out on the field, their hard work is exhibited. Heather Thorton, Sophomore member, said, All the hard work is worth it when you hear the crowd and everyone com- pliments you. This seems to be the attitude of every Dragonette. 88-ACADEMICS
