Alt the last football game against Seagoville. Brooke McCarley helps entertain the crowd during half time The JV drill worked diligently all season for their one field periormance. lfter their one field perfor- mance, Sara Lara marches proudly off the field. Off the field. the drill served as pep squad for the cheerleaders. Starting from scratch 5, 6, 7, 8 . . . step kick, step, step kick. That was the usual hustle-bustle of fifth period. This was the first time to ever have drill and anyone was able to participate as long as she kept her grades up. Each girl ' s goal: March 17 — varsity drill tryouts. JV drill was the prepa- ratory class for the debut of the Belles varsity drill team. During class they stretched, did aerobics, kicks, and learned rou- tines. The squad performed during football and bas- ketball season, having their first performance at the last pep rally and foot- ball game of the season. I enjoyed being on JV drill because it was a fun experience and a good way to become involved in school activities, Mickey Tucker said. The girls met many new friends and also learned to be competitive while being a good sport. March 17 arrived and approximately 40 fresh- man and sophomore girls were chosen for the var- sity. The top ten sopho- mores were allowed to display their talents to be- come a captain or lieuten- ant for the following year. Almost one month later, on Wednesday, April 19, sponsor Liz Quails an- nounced the decision. Priscilla Fonseca had been chosen captain with Erin Foster and Kristi Brooks as the two lieuten- ants. The official uniform was unveiled and approved. The Belles were a reality. Drill was such a chal- lenging and rewarding ex- perience, Quails said. I have learned so much during the past year. It is really the girls who have made it such a success. (Misti Ashley)

As International Club president Stacle Martinez presents a check to FCA president Miriam Chapman, new hopes of having a stronger fund for the Amy York Scholarship are aroused. The In- ternational Club donated $300 during a special presentation in April. Upon closing the FCA meeting, sponsors Karen Stratman and Gail Barnes along with member Robin Johnson form a circle for the closing prayer. Meetings pro- vided knowledge about athletics and Christ. !jI !. iCff. ' . ' yd.i. . Funds: a high priority Belonging to FCA doesn ' t mean a meeting every other week and talk- ing about sports in rela- tion to Christianity. Sure, members do that, but also they attend football, bas- ketball and soccer games outside of school along with assisting in special service projects to benefit the school and communi- ty. However, in order to go to these things, the group must have money and most members went out of their way to do that. Girls FCA began a new scholarship program in memory of their friend Amy York. Amy had been killed in an three-wheeler accident in August, the summer before her soph- omore year at PHS. Other schools have scholarships and I thought it would be a good idea for us to have one, too, sponsor and coach Gail Barnes said. We have $1,300 in the fund now and we expect to raise more every year. Money to support the fund has come from par- ents, friends and school organizations. Boys FCA also raised money by selling special FCA t-shirts. We sold the shirts to raise money for our ac- count, president Shane Freeman said. Then we can plan to do something special with it. While the shirts were worn by many of the stu- dents, the girls ' M M sales quickly disap- peared, box after box, making these fund raisers a success for the entire organization, tcame Robmsom
