T his school year turned out to be another good year for the Dixie Belles, according to the team spon- sor, Miss Catherine Foster. With captain, Meredith Green, and co-captains, Danielle Weisse and Marilyn Cooley, heading up the 21 other girls, the team returned home from the Memphis State University drill team clinic with the best percen- tage of highest ratings overall. They did a very good job, Miss Foster said. They were awarded 57 first place individuals awards and eight second place individual awards. They also came home with the spirit stick, she added. The team also received a superior overall rating for its home routine, third overall, and a trophy for ex- cellence of the squad overall. Last spring, the team sold cookies, pies as a fund-raising project and raised about S300, according to Miss Foster. Close to the beginning of this year, the girls also sold candles and raised about S150, she said. We used the money to buy two speakers, a cassette player, legwarmers for the girls, and we had the girls' jackets monogrammed, she said. The team performed at every home football and basketball game and at a few away games. They also travel- ed to Greenwood, Russellville, and Springdale and attended all playoff games to help cheer the Ftebs to victory.
