Drill Team Sweeps Highest Honors In three short years the Starboard Angels Drill Team has achieved the highest honors in the Aldine District. Under the direction of Miss Debbie Turner, a first year instructor, Mary Lynn Ferranti, Admiralg Connie Bab- ington, Vice Admiralg Bobbie Jo Vaughn, Linda Grimes, Kelly Morris, and Lea Quinn, Company Captains, the girls reached many goals they had hoped. Summer camp was held at South West Texas where the girls tied for lst place in the 5-A division. The Star- board Angels performed at football games, basketball games, and attended many other functions throughout the year. During '81 the Drill Team went to Friendswood competition and received lst place in jazz and high kick. Toward the end of the year the girls were a part of the Blue and Gold competition in Commerce, Texas. The Drill Team received the Presidents Award, Sweepstakes, and Best in 5-A class which qualified the Angels for State competition. The officers also received a 3rd place award in jazz competition. The Drill Team had three fundraisers consisting of Christmas card sales, working at Astroworld, and taking inventory at Foley's. This money was used for competi- tion and the Christmas and Hawaiian parties given dur- ing the year. The girls also had a banquet at the end of the year awarding Tracey Poole as Angel of the year. Lisa Mitchka and Ronda Bounds were awarded as most improved members. 4 A Q9 Gr il' ,,, x S A - hl Organizations 171

French Club Qui. Je Suis Francais Parle vous Francias? Most people wish they could speak a diffefent language and someday go to that country. A good percentage of the French students have had this ambition and have worked hard in '81 to reach it. During the year all the foreign language clubs came together for an international night with foods from their particular countries. In March the French Club went to the Galleria to eat different types of crepes at the Magic Pan. Nimitz French students were part of the Foreign Language Fair competing against other schools in the district. These students also participated in the symposium held in April. They were entered in soccer and other literary parts of French. The officers for 1981 are Emily Schneider, Leah Boomer, Martha Askins, and Anne Neidinger. ab l ....-. - 1 bl aj 1981 French Club: First Row: Martha Askins, Emily Schneider, Leah Boomerg Se- cond Row: Cindy Armstrong, Thressa Trobsugh, Ann Neidinger, David Wilsong Third Row: Judy Forbs, Robert Hamilton, Andrew Taravella, Peggy Copenhaver, Jack Mosly, Jimmy Buelow. bl Robert Hamilton does his share at selling pastries in order to raise money for the French Club. cj Leah Boomer turns to Martha Askins head to persuade her into taking a picture. 172 Organizations
