The Eaglettes began working this summer with drill team camp at Kilgore Junior College. At Kilgore they were awarded a spirit pom pon, one of 'five Sweepstakes trophies and perfect scores on all four home routines. Being an Eaglette teaches a person responsibility, organization and leadership, explained Lt. Lisa Milner. Along with attending line camp during the summer, the officers' at SMU. The girls earned another Sweepstakes trophy and a spirit stick.

Waiting in line for schedule changes can be boring. During 2nd period on the second day of school lines were still prevalent. fWeinbergj During the schedule pick-up, SAC teacher Gail Coleman helps Kari Oswald with her schedule. LINE UP Aug. 23: The start of it all HCrowded, aggravating and confusing are just a few words that students used to describe schedule pick-up, August 23. For only the second year, all classes picked up their schedules in the auditorium on one day. This year the time was cut to a five-hour period beginning at 8:30 a.m. When the doors opened, a mad rush was made to the stageg and surprisingly enough, most of the students didn't have any trouble picking up their schedules. We seniors just walked right on through and got ours, said senior Scott Ellis. Meanwhile, others had to wait. Standing in line was often frustrating for the students. This year seemed faster for most peopleg but for me it was longer and more tense than last year, complained junior Scott O'Neal. After they got their schedules many students headed for their lockers. That experience was also often frustrating. lt was pure confusiong it took me quite a while,' said sophomore Ann Woodward, after asking many people where she could find her locker. Returning juniors and seniors had less trouble than the new students. Hlt was fairly easy because I knew the lower locker numbers began in A hall and my locker number was 45, said junior Karen Rhodes. When the big day finally came, the school was crowded with kids, some anxious to start a new year and to see old friends, and others who were not so eager to give up their summer. If not going to their lockers or their first class, they were causing traffic jams in the halls while talk- ing to their friends. But classrooms and hallways weren't the only places that were filled up. That Monday morning the counselors had their hands full, as well. Lines of people came in with every type of problem concerning their schedules. I must have spent 24 hours all together in line, protested senior Meagan O'Neill f Leigh Evans M51 N Student L1fe!23

FRIDAY NIGHT PREP Finally, all eyes are on you The neatest thing is going out on the field, knowing all eyes are on you, said Junior LeAnn Rushing. That's why every week students practice, practice, and practice for the Friday night's football game. Whether they're football players, Eaglettes, iCheerleaders, or marching bandsmen, much of their time is spent practicing for a chance to show their school spirit. However they participate, they all agree, It,s hard work. It,s long and hard, but the coaches make it pretty fun, said Varsity quarterback Mark Mathis. Itls all worth it on Friday night. Preparing for the game is time consuming, but they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't enjoy it. I follow the same basic pattern every Friday, said Varsity Wide- receiver Mitchell Glieber, After school I go home and rest while I think about the game. When mentally preparing for a game, it's important to be confi- dent you will play well. If you have doubts about yourself or the team, the team will sufferf' continues Glieber. Being a cheerleader, a marching band member, or an Eaglette also consumes one's time. The Cheerleaders practice, make signs and locker decorations every day 6th period. On Wednes- day's and Thursday's they practice until 4, then again Friday morning at 6:30. Preparing for Friday is hard work, but I don't mind doing anything if it helps to support our team, said Varsity Cheerleader Robin Valetutto. Practice for the band is every day after school Monday- Thursday from 4 to 5:30. We fthe bandl spend a lot of time outside of the school day practicing, but I know Richardson High School has given me a lot, and it feels good to give something back, says Drum Major Pat Basinski. The Flag Corps also practices 4-5:30, Monday-Thursday, and they sometimes come early in the morning. We all have a really great time going out there and performing, says Tricia Ursprung Flag Corps lieutenant. It's a lot of hard work, but itls each Eaglette must pass a routine tryout for the halftime show on Friday. To get ready for the tryout they go to squad practices at the officers' houses on Sunday. During Tuesday tryouts the girls cannot make more than 3 major mistakes and 4 minor mistakes each. A ma- jor mistake is something that anyone could see from the stands. If they don't pass Tuesday's tryout, they may get called back to tryout again on Wednesday. Whether they make the show or not, each must go to an extra prac- tice Thursday after school. 'ltls a lot of hard work, but it all pays off when we performf' said Rushing. People seem to think drill team is over when football season ends, but this isn't true at all, said junior Brandy Barbee. After football season, our prac- tices continue so we will be ready for basketball season and our pageant competitions. After this comes revue. Thatls the best part of all but also the saddest. It's the last time we'll be together as Eaglettes ,and as a worth it, continues Ursprung. family, said Barbee. - Christi Besides having practice all week, Watson x '6.:: fir gee , e , o A- in 'i slii I I I fi '75 ff, F . l. fa ' ll A A 'Qi ' I 'I 5 2 ' 'il ' t i 49' .
