TlNA ANDERSON Lindsa Merritt , y , Lisa Dollar, and Jill Albertson put on their smiles and get ready to perform. They've got the beat The bouncy, pop sound of the Go-Go's We Got the Beat echoed throughout the halls of SMU as the 1982-83 North Garland Mam'selles arrived to attend the Southern Methodist University Superstar Camp. Officer camp was held from June 7-11. Fifty-five officer squads were in attendance. The six Mam'selle officers who represented North Garland were Captain Sheri Hayes and Lieutenants Lisa Fortenberry, Laurie Edwards, Jana Hashert, Deborah Steltzlen, and Lindsay Merritt. Out of three creative trophies that were given, North Garland won the Most Creative Officer Squad trophy. They also TAMMY BILBERY SHOWS her school spirit by wearing her Raider pin. 28 Student Life received a superior rating on their Home Routine. Winning trophies was not the only reason for going to camp, As Lindsay Merritt stated, 'tWe went to camp because we wanted to learn. We wanted to learn to get along with each other individually and as an officer squad. We wanted to be the best squad we could be. A week after officer camp, from June 21-25, line camp was held with thirteen hundred girls competing there. The week was filled with hard work and long hours. The girls practiced all day, breaking only long enough for lunch and dinner. All of this hard work paid off though. The Mam'selles were awarded the Sweepstakes which meant they had won more blue ribbons than any other squad there. The girls also received the Take Home Spirit Pom. In addition, only 22 girls out of the 1,300 that attended were named Superstar Girls. Sheri Hayes and Laurie Edwards from North Garland were among those that were named. Mam'selle Liz Lynch commented, We were really confident when we went to camp, and ready for it. We had long hours and worked hard, but it was worth it because we won practically everything! WITH DETERMINATION ON HER FACE, Lisa Fortenberry works hard at learning a new routine.
