S Spartanaires. An organization of girls that can learn to share each other's feelings. It's not like some people think. l feel we're part of the school. That is how Senior Kathy Kraus defines the Spartanaires.

The 96 member organization began their long, hard season in early July at camp at Southern Methodist University. Senior Debbie Franklin explained, We had to get up really early and go to classes each day. We took classes in jazz, pompom, high kick and marching. On the last day we had competition.
