Dragon spirit overflows -I-' O , O When elected last spring each U3 cheerleader knew she would have to CU be a devoted Dragon fan, friendly, and E - most of all - spirited. Thafsx exactly what each cheerleader was, cn L.. and each spreads enthusiasm for the Dragons. Throughout the year they 3 practiced and cheered at games from football to baseball. Cheerleader spon- sor, Cathye Fuchs, realized how hard they worked and said, I love and admire them dearly. These girls caused spirit to overflow at the Ftock. What is shaped like a hippo, has maroon and gray fur and showed lots of spirit and excitement for the school? Anyone would recognize . . . the Round Rock Mascot. According to Senior Tami Velie, To try out for the mascot, you had to sign up in advance and write a paragraph on why you wanted to be the Dragon. Then you had to put a sheet over your body, a bag over your head and dance around to music. From that the judges picked Tami and Junior Yvonne Knesek for the 1980-81 Dragon Mas- cot. Both Tami and Yvonne like the idea of having two mascots because it helps to share the burden. They take turns appearing in the pep rallies, foot- ball, volleyball, basketball and soccer games. Being the mascot has given me an opportunity to meet new people and show my spirit for the school. A lot of people don't realize how difficult it is to run around in the costume for a whole game. He is hard to move in but l enjoy it, Yvonne said. Above: lt can't fly but it can sure boogie. Dragon Mascot, senior Tami Velie performs during a pep rally.
