Zero practice starts off da Do the routine all out this time. Kick high, point your toes, use head direc- tion, and smile! These were some of the familiar commands heard in the gym given by the Pom Pon officers during zero period - 6:50 a.m. Practice started in the summer with a three-week summer camp. During this time the girls did the Jane Fonda Workout, practiced kicks and parade steps, and began to make up routines. They also performed in the Dolton Fourth of July Pa- rade with a routine to Con- trol. Since Mrs. Nancy Winiecki was out for the season on matemity leave, the girls were given a new sponsor. Mr. Al Budding, gym teach- er, filled in while Mrs. Win- iecki was out. This was an eye-opening experience, and l came away with the knowledge that there are other reward- ing experiences besides boys athletics. This gave me as much pleasure as any team I've ever coached, said Mr. Bud- ding. The girls showed that they could still stay in con- trol while dancing to such songs as Two of Hearts, Crazay, and Talk to Me. This year was more challenging than past years. Since Mrs. Winiecki was gone, the position of captain took on added re- sponsibility. Mr. Budding was a big help though. All in all it was a pretty suc- cessful year, stated Laura Magnavite, captain. While adapting to a change in command, the Pom Pons continued to kick up their heels and provide entertainment for the school. Pom Pons 117
