Drill Team The drill team, made up of Pep Club Members, spent many nights practicing marching and finally gave a very good demonstration of their abilities at the Selah- West Valley basketball game. As the band played Semper Fidelis, this group of girls, dressed in white pedal pushers and Pep Club sweaters, executed their formations with perfect timing. Mrs. Bettie Jo Dowd, their instructor, and all of West Valley can well be proud of these girls.
