D rill Team Lady Panthers Get New Start Nothing can beat the feeling of per- forming before a crowded home stadium when you know you've done your best to impress friends, parents, teachers, and mainly the opponent's drill team. But what the crowd sees for maybe five min- utes each Friday night is the polished product of pain, arguments, and getting up at 5:30 in the morning each weekday in hopes of getting to practice on time. This year's drill team consisted mostly of new members, which sometimes could cause problems because of inexpe- rience. But the Lady Panthers took it as a blessing. This year's drill team has achieved many goals, and received many awards.The first competition at Burger Center wasn't as good as they wanted it to be. When the drill team went to San Antonio they did a much better job. They came home with a rating of one on the prop, jazz, and kick routines. They also won the Judge's Award, which has never been awarded to the Lady Panthers before. I think we did really well, consider- ing we had a pretty young drill team. It gave us a chance to make the best of what some people would consider a bad situation, commented Captain Amanda Wade. When strained muscles were a thing of the past, the bad times seemed to disap- pear. No one remembered the terror of the first pep rally. No one remembered the performance that did not go so well. Members said it was hard to remem- ber anything but the good times. Hear- ing you're number being called out at auditions along with the rest of the new members . . . summer camp . . . the gos- sip on the bus trips . . . they were all things to remember about the 1985-1986 year of drill team activities and perfor- mances. 1.

Council Pursues Office The student council of 1985-86 did something that no other council from Pflugerville had ever done. The PHS council ran for president of all the state convention, which was held at Palmer Auditorium in Austin. Although the council did not win the presidency, they were awarded a plaque for outstanding student council. We didn't win, but it was a fun experience for all of us, stated the council's parliamentarian, junior Jon Goeke. This was a year of change for the PHS student council. With a new sponsor, counselor Shirley Farney, a new presi- dent, junior Larry Cunningham, and a membership made up largely of fresh- men and sophomores, the council started the year with high hopes. After reflecting on her adjustment to the new sponsor, senior Kendrea Markle stated, It was really hard losing coach Wiley (the previous sponsor), but Ms. Farney filled his shoes well, and was really easy to get to know. Some student council projects includ- ed Camfel (the three screen film) Produc- tions, seatbelt safety, alcohol awareness, and several dances. Teacher Apprecia- tion was a year-long project that was also very successful. The council's Teacher Appreciation project was begun early in the school year. The members chose teachers and were their secret pal throughout the year. The members gave their teacher cards, gifts and other assorted treats to encourage the teacher. Jean Kelley, sci- ence teacher, stated that it brightened up many an ordinary day. It was the nicest thing that happened all year, ad- ded Gloria Windrum, speech teacher. All in all, Farney, with the help and support of Cynthia Bradley, an English teacher at the middle school, had a posi- tive attitude throughout the year. Farney was quoted as saying that the school year for the student council was the single most significant learning experience in my life. by Larry Cunningham
