Forty junior and senior girls filled the Vikette's ranks. With helpful advice from Mrs. Diane Kavanaugh, faculty sponsor, marchers perfected their form and timing during fourth and fifth-hour practice ses- sions. During summer vacation, both early morning and late evening rehearsals began. Stephanie Livingood, captain, directed drills in preparation for the Kansas City Chief's home opener half-time show and the school's first football match. Anticipating a busy fall schedule, girls sewed their gold dress uniforms before classes began in September. Vikettes proudly displayed West's banner before audiences at Kansas State and Emporia Universities, and the American Royal and Overland Park parades. ln order to vary the style of every shovv, different team members outlined each routine. Their pro- grams highlighted sports events with dances to music from Mission: Impossible and Rain in Spain.
