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
