This was the best of all my vacations. Various camps offered helpful training and advice.

Thirty- seven lvlam'selles joined their officers at another camp held at SMU. The group continued their winning tradition by receiving a superior trophy for their original Can Can routine and a superior trophy for camp evaluation. La Petite officers brought back many superior and first place ribbons from the ETSU drill team camp. The Flag Corps, for the second consecutive year, were picked as Grand Champions at a workshop in Arlington. Also attending the workshop were senior drum major David Castell, who was named the most improved drum major, junior drum major Tony Nakonechnyj, and the Rifle Corps. All three groups came back with new ideas and experience to be used for half-time performances in the fall.

The way in which the summer was spent depended on the individual and the pace that each set for themselves. L 8.46 VIS UJ SUJ BJ 39!lVlll0 IU .L
