Looking On ... Kimixrr gazes in as- tonishment as her friend Chris embar- rasses herself at break. Kimber takes advantage of time between classes since after school, it's off to practice. Not being able to spend much time with my friends makes me really ap- preciate the few minutes here and there! Phcto by Tanya Pino. People 144 While most pledge allegiance to a flag, Kimber Gallagher pledges a dif- ferent king of loyalty. Her colorguard is sweeping the nation with . . . FtyiiNG COLORS unday evening rolls around once again as most students begin plowing through homework or watching reruns of Family Ties. Kimber Gallagher, on the other hand, is half way through a rigor- ous workout at the San lose Raid- ers Color Guard, a non-profit, in- ternationally competitive organi- zation which travels all over the United States. The team of twenty- one performs various synchro- nized dance feats while handling a flag simultaneously. Using pre recorded music, the entire routine centers on a theme which pro- duces an overall effect for the crowd. Kimber first became interested in color guard while in elemen- tary school. 'T used to come over to ST and watch the school guard practice. This really caught my at- tention, and five years later 1 joined the ST guard in my sopho- more year. Though the ST guard terminated in 1985, Kimber still wanted to pursue the sport. Her friend Elizabeth Ramirez recom- mended the Raiders, and after vis- iting the club, she joined. Practicing a minimum of fifteen hours a week, Kimber has learned to budget her time wisely. Howev- er, she explained that her social life has not suffered. The color guard is my social life. We're all best friends, so after workouts, we go out and have some fun! Competing at the highest inter- national level, the Raider's took 14th place at the Winterguard In- ternational Olympics in Dayton, Ohio last year. In addition, Kimber has performed in Boston, Chicago, and Denver as well as all over California. Most importantly, the color guard has been a growing exper- ience for Kimber. Performing in front of thousands of people has made me more outgoing and more confident in myself! By Tanya Pine.

I he ability to keep everybody in- volved and keep everything organized is all . . . Staying in Tune.

A MATTER OF SENIORITY change has happened to Santa Teresa's student body. What is this change? School spirit. Many might not notice the subtle change in spirit, compared to last year. Senior class president Lelisa Wolters, along with the help of Vice President Arvind Suthar and Secretary-Treasurer Jody Guel, have kept the same basic founda- tion of student life as Joilene Mul- liner initiated last year. “We want- ed to keep alive the ideas that Joi- lene used last year, instead of creating something totally differ- ent. explained Lelisa. This year's officers wanted to get everyone active in the school's activities. One of their goals is to end the “clique soci- eties where only the popular people are in the limelight. Obvi- ously their goals are working out. People from every group on cam- pus have got involved in activities and have earned a new respect for their school. Simply by gazing from the stage any day before a big game, one can see huge crowds of people on the hill, watching a rally or listening to mu- sic. Seniors want to be unconven- tional and they want people to know it. That is why these seniors wanted to take a class trip to some- where besides Hawaii. Senior flings to I js Angeles and Mazat- lan were an alternative. The trip to LA includes a cruise to Catalina Island, grad night at Disneyland, a trip to Magic Mountain, and a day at the beach. The Mazatlan trip includes another grad night at Disneyland and a plane ride to Mazatlan where the graduates can lie out on the beach, go danc- ing at the clubs, or go shopping. Lelisa hopes that the Senior Ball will be a complete success. “It's the last formal of our high school careers, so it has to be memora- ble. By Darin Walker. Seniors 143
