Superior A I Camps A large spirit booster group on cam- pus is the Trinity Troy-Anns. To be a member of the group, one must first have been a member of the Spirit Club. During the month of February. prospec- tive drill team members meet each morning for two weeks. learning dances to be performed in front of a panel of judges. After performing the traditional highkick routine and another dance, hopefuls await the posting of the new drill team members roster. After being selected, members start right to work conditioning and learning routines, but the work has onlyjust begun. Louisiana Tech was the setting of summer camp as members danced their way into a 99.5 Superior rating out of a possible 100 points on final competition day. Thus scoring higher than any other drill team there. Also during final com- petition, Nikki Quesenberry was selected as Miss Louisiana Tech for her spirit and enthusiasm. The officers this year went to camp in Oklahoma over the summer rating a 99 Superior rating in final competition, ,Q 58 6 . , -... - ta K. .

At the beginning of August. drill teamers resumed practice sessions. brushing up on routines learned at camp for the football season. The Troy-Anns performed at each football game. home and away. dancing with various props, highkick and jan routines. They dance one routine at away games and two at the home games, The two routines performed at home games usually include the traditional Everything's Coming Up Roses and one more selection. The Troy-Anns also perform at each of the pep rallies. giving the student body a chance to see their display of co- ordination. This gives the team a chance to polish their routines for their night- time performance, in addition to giving the pep rallies an extra touch of glitter. In February the Drill team held their annual talent revue where members exhibited their many talents in choreog- raphy, singing and skits. 1- , ., :'v-.EQ ASSOCIATION X 45

W1 th Trojan Cheers .pa .. Being a cheerleader is not as simple a task as it might seem. Being a leader of any kind involves much dedication and hard work. Even before our '77-'78 cheerleaders made the squad, they showed their dedication in preparation for try-outs. After their election, they began meeting fifth period to learn and practice new cheers and skits. Also, the girls spent part of their summer improving their cheerleading skills by going to a camp designed especially for that. There, our cheer- leaders once again displayed their excellence in competition. Among the awards they received were The Super Star Squad and All Superiorsf' They also won three spirit sticks, one of which they brought home to Trinity. TOP LEFT: Our leaders of spirit display the awards earned in competition. Pictured are. FRONT ROW: Sandy Mercer. Lovella Higgin- botham. and Angie Ramos.
