Flags keep spirit twirling SONGLEADERS: Attending Hibbard's Songleading Camp and Competition got the group off to a busy start. From the first contention, they went on to perform at the ‘‘Spirit Unlimited Buena Park competition and the Miss Drill Team, USA pageant. Their duties as songleaders required them to perform at home games and, as members of the Pep Squad, help the cheerleaders give team support. To carry out this duty, they had to practice three days a week during the summer which was boosted to five days when school started. Songleader director Teresa Garcia has shown much enthusiasm with the girls. She had her hands full with the entire Pep Squad, but if you ever needed her she was there, remarked one of the members of the group. FLAG TEAM: Among the flag team's duties were performing at all home games and helping the cheerleaders pro- mote spirit at games and rallies. The team performed these duties with enthusiasm and vitality throughout the school term. Their involvement did not begin in Sep- tember and their achievements have not been confined to school, only. Involvement in statewide and local competitions has highlighted the year's activities. The team has participated in the Arroyo competition, the Buena Park contest, and the “Miss Drill Team, USA” pageant. Dora Tovar Emma Gutierrez, Captain
