With Summer Comes the Work, Competition and Fun!!! Car washes were a few of the many activities the Lady Panthers used over the summer to raise money. With an eagerness and willingness to start off fresh, the Lady Panthers plunged into the new year with many new things; from new members and new routines, all the way down to a new director. Ms. K. Bennette. The Lady Panthers got an early start this year by attending a camp at North Texas State University in Denton, Texas. From June 25 28, the girls learned many new and exciting routines. “It’s a lot of hard work because you're up early in the morning, staying up late at night, and you're con- stantly on your feet. You really learn to appreciate sitting down and just taking a break.” stated junior M'Lisa Stolle, first lieutenant of the Lady Panthers. The girls were up by 6:30 each morning to get ready for the day. After breakfast they attended classes all day with a lunch and dinner break. Sometimes we wouldn't get back to our dorms until 10:00 or 10:30, which meant we rarely made it to bed before 11:30,” added senior Denise Prater, captain. But despite the hard work the Lady Panthers en- joyed camp and accomplished many things. That was not the end of the summer though. After a car wash, a few bake sales, and other fund raisers. August started to roll around and the word August to a Lady Panther meant PRACTICE!! Starting August 1st. Monday through Friday, from 7:00-12:00 each morning the girls gathered around in the gym, the commons, outside, or any other place they found available. This time was used to perfect routines, marching skills and many other things to get ready for the school year. It was a lot of hard work and it took a lot of dedication to be a Lady Panther. Coach L Tolbert asked some of the drill team members if they would show the football team a few of the exercises they go through to get in shape for contests and performances. Julie Orsak shows personality and pizzaz and having fun while practicing. LADY PANTHERS 49
