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.

Drags dancing to the top Enthusiasm, perseverance and projec- tion were the qualities needed to become a 1980-81 Dragonette. During the summer, Dragonettes attended a drill team camp at North Texas State University near Dallas. The 41 girls entered a high kick routine and won second place. Before school even started they were well on their way planning the year's activities. At least 20 hours of practice each week were needed to prepare for football games or home basketball shows. Dragonettes also performed in pep rallies and the Spring show. Drago- nette of the Week - the most spirited, hardest working girl - was announced at the pep rallies. Along with the marching band, they attended competition at the Cotton Bowl and won 2nd place. They also partici- pated in the Crockett and Commerce Competitions. In addition, they decorated lockers, made colorful signs, and sold spirit ribbons for the games and mums during homecoming. The Dragonettes for this year are a fine group of young ladies who all work very hard, sponsor Mrs. Cathye Fuchs said.
