Head Riderette Kris Swanson and most of the other Riderettes attended a November clinic, where they learned new techniques and three new routines to use for their performances. These were put to use dur ing two halftime performances at basketball games. Included was a routine to the theme from Swat, and one to the Mickey Mouse Club song, where the Riderettes posed as Mickey Mice. Other officers included Peggy Stanger, vice head; Theresa Sinnwell, treasurer; and Tamie Wright, secretary. The Flaggies, headed by senior Karen Krause, consisted of 10 girls from the band, who accompanied the Marching Band in its performances as a part of the whole show. As a highlight to their routines, the girls started the season with new uniforms and seven new corps style flags, adding color and variety to the halftime entertainment. The larger flags also made it easier for the audience to see the show from the stands. Marcia Martens catches 40 winks before a band performance. Flaggies, Riderettes, 25
