U T JP O 1' O ITI I I I ii i SKILL Last summer: loafed around, went to the lake, got a tan, stayed out late. Three months long for most people, but for so- meone in band it seemed only two mon- ths long because the last month of the three was when the practice began for the up coming year. The band practiced the whole month of August to prepare for football season. Dur- ing the school year they came to school at 7:30 everyday to learn the music and mar- ches of songs such as Power of Love and R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. . They played at every pep rally and performed for every football game under the direction of drum major David Malek and assistant drum ma- jor Allen Drexel. Try to picture a pep rally or a football game without music, that would have I would not give up my band years for anything. Allen Drexel been pretty boring. The band was a strong driving force of the whole Clark Cougar spirit. A person in band was not just so- Q- instrument. It was a person who was ver talented and devoted. Also in band wer the flags and the twirler. The flags wer lead by captains Kim Crump and Twila Kail and the twirler was Alana Skaggs. Wit all that band had to offer plus Cougaette halftime was a spectacular showcase. lt was a lot of hard work and the ban did a great job preparing and performing but the hard work did not stop after foo ball season. There was still plenty work t be done. -Katy Barbe l meone who knows how to play a musical l Top Row John Dalkowitz, Mike Lemmonds, Taryn Kail, Cherie Shenkman, Terri Burris, Amy Jennings, Gary Grona, B.

...TRADITION or 5555525 5 --- EXCELLENCE QEEEEEEE-.E C-L-A-R-K! This cry could be eard at several times and at several .aces throughout the year by none other ian the Cougar varsity and junior varsity teerleaders, who were known state-wide lr their superior dancing and cheering bilities. However, before they were able to per- wrm with such precision, they were re- uired to attend the National Cheerleading ssociation Camp at Texas Tech University. t the end ofthe camp, the top ten squads 'ere chosen to compete for the Award of xcellence. Both the varsity and the junior arsity squads were nominated and the arsity squad came in runner-up for this onor. The next stop along the road for the teams was the Joske's competition held in August in which they both took first place in each of their divisions. The varsity and JV teams combined their Working with others so closely was hard, yet it built strong friendships and taught us a lot about ourselves. -Paige Martin skills to capture 2nd in cheer and Grd in dance at the St. Mary's competition.
