Their season included playing all the home football games and then their last game being at Vermillion against the Yankton Bucs. The 17 girl group consisted of one freshman, nine sophomores, three juniors, and four seniors. Other people who contributed to the group included, member Missy Mapes, who choreographed the many syn- chronized dance-like routines. Also, with the help of Ms. Diana Bickner, advisor, they had the op- portunity to compete in many group competitions. For example: squad state championships, in which they received 3rd place in state and 2nd triple A in Dakota Days. Songs that have given them such awards were Birth of the Blues and Toyland Spec- tacular. Hard work and involve- ment were all part of this halftime tradition. X . 4 V- .X -, 1 t, .

Shining faces in the hall and on the court or field, those girls brought an era of spirit to all fans and players. Every morning at seven, no matter what the weather, the mighty Pages practiced hard for their next perfor- mance. lt took courage to step out onto the field in front of all those gaz- ing eyes. You feel like you're going to forget everything, but when the music starts, you know what to do, says Jayne Shulte, junior. The pro- spect of new uniforms provided an added incentive for the girls to raise money by washing cars and candy sales. The group totaled 30 girls, comprised of 16 seniors and 14 juniors who performed to such songs as Runaway by Bon Toui and Talk to ya Later by the Tubes. Sister Sue, Advisor, and Stacey Carlburg, graduate of 84, helped choreograph the complicated routines for the group. I think the girls have really improved, it's really picked up, said Stacey. Their bright smiles and cheery dispositions, pep- ped assemblies and led the Knights Victory march. Having served O'Gor- man with honor and style, the 84-85 pages will always be remembered for all that they were. 143
