■ r It's For Everyone If you have ever been to a football game, you have seen Extravaganza. Ex- travaganza is the name given to a very important part of the PHS Panther band, the color guard. During marching sea- son, or football season, the guard per- formed the half-time shows at the foot- ball games and added a little bit of col- or to the band. But when marching sea- son was over, the color guard put on a different hat. As marching season came to an end, Kathie Bennett, instructor of the guard, was making plans for clinics and shows to be hosted by Pflugerville high school. These clinics were of national propor- tion where other guards from all over the state would come to be taught new tech- niques by the top ranked guard, Odys- sey. Bennett felt that hosting the shows would help my kids out better than if we were to go away to a clinic in another part of the state. Extravaganza color guard consisted of ten people during marching season and five people during winterguard The members forming winterguard were Sta- cey Cobb, Misty Johnson, Joy Pearce, and Tonya Tiner. Guard is for everyone, not just girls, concluded Bennett. by Stacey Wuest

Cheerleaders Cheering For Success Determination was the major key to unlocking the door of success for the 1985-86 cheerleading squad at PHS. The squad consisted of two returning senior members — Jill Eary, who served as head cheerleader, and Kami Kaatz. Senior Anna Chlapek and juniors Pam Prevost, Shannon Lee, Vicki Wenzel, Tanja Cox, and Tammy Senkel were the first-year members of the determined group of spirit promoters. Starting from scratch was the main idea behind the girls' practicing, but their determination allowed them to overcome any obstacle. While cheering at the Homecoming game, determination warmed them in the cold winds; it served as a raincoat for them during the rainy, but exciting game at Kyle Field in Bryan College Station, and it stuck by them after the devastating blow that was deliv- ered by House Bill 72's No Pass-No Play rule. Working so closely together this year made us all come to realize that it takes quite a lot of time, determination, and dedication to work as one . . . but we did it! summed up Vicki Wenzel. The squad's determination guided them through sweating and working out at summer camp, creating the football game breakthrough signs, and promot- ing school spirit in all shapes, sizes, and forms. Junior Shannon Lee stated, What I enjoyed the most were the little things we did for all the athletes. The door of success is now closed be- hind the young squad, but they will al- ways remember how often that door was continually unlocked by one particular key — DETERMINATION! I. Jill Eary happily lifted Tanja Cox to new heights while cheering at a Friday night football game. 2. During the windy homecoming pep rally that was held in the stadium, Tammy Senkel, Kami Kaatz, Anna Chlapek, Jill Eary, and Vicki Wenzel raised their hands in praise of the powerful panthers, and the students' effervescent spirit. 3. The 1985-1986 Varsity Cheerleaders — Bottom row: Vicki Wenzel, Jill Eary-Head Cheerleader, Anna Chlapek, and Tanja Cox. Top row: Shannon Lee, Kami Kaatz. Pam Prevost, and Tammy Senkel. 4 While giving a big cheer for Channel 24's Team of the Week, Pan- ther cheerleader Kami Kaatz showed her intense enthusiasm at the afternoon pep rally where Hugh Lewis presented the Panthers with a trophy and congratulated the team for capturing the 25AAA Bi-District championship! 5. Although the cheer- leaders seemed to always be in high spirits, they often expressed other emotions, as shown by Pam Prevost's far-away look, and Tammy Senkel's wist- ful glance. 6. Shannon Lee and Jill Eary shared a secret thought while they took a break from cheer- ing at Kyle Field in Bryan College Station.
