A :olor change was made from red feather lrapes, previously used in senior iictures, to black. Lisa Dunlop commented, They looked much prettier han the red and seemed to compliment ill the girls' features well. While preparing for football season a 'ariety of groups could be found holding early rehearsals aroundthe school. Band nembers rolled out of bed early in order o be on the back parking lot by 6:30 a.m. t this time they learned and rehearsed arching drills for half-time performances in the fall. Playing rehearsals were held at night to learn music to be used for marching drills and pep rallies.

' policies and given an opponunity to ask questions. Following this there was a mock pep rally held in the gymnasium displaying what Fridays during football season were like. When asked how she felt about freshman orientation, Sherri Neuville replied lt was kind of fun but even after the tour l still didn't know where everything was. Mixed emotions were experienced by the student body when they realized that school would start soon.
