Camp Helpful to Both Pom-pon and Flag The season for both flag girls and pom-pon girls started with camp. The flag girls, sponsored by Gloria Henley, attended a camp in June, at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. This was the first year for the flag girls to attend a camp. Many new skills and routines were learned. Laurie Eden commented that, “camp was worthwhile; it helped us a lot. We learned some good routines, how to improve marching, and some new ways to twirl.” The flag girls march with the band during half-time of home football games. To prepare for the games, the squad practiced twice a week in the morning and every day during band. The squad came a long way this year. Camp helped them to improve. New uniforms gave them a new look. The pom-pon squad went to a NCA camp in August, at Iowa State University in Ames. This was the second year for the squad to attend a camp. The girls did well, receiving over 40 ribbons, 2 spirit sticks and also qualified as a “Super Star” squad. Many new rolls, and routines were learned, along with kicks, ripples, pom-pon passes, mounts . The squad’s season ran most of the year. They performed with the band at football games, half-time of boys’ and girls’ basketball games, and several pep assemblies. They also performed at their first wrestling meet. To prepare for games, practices were often held 5 days a week and before games. One of the highlights of the season was a clinic at Coe College. The squad received two first place trophies. One was an overall trophy, the other for their skill division. Captains of this year’s squad were: Suzie Gallagher, Kim McConaughy, and Susan Reid. The squad improved a lot during the year with the help of camp and their two new sponsors, Phyllis Britcher and Mary Hynek.
