Were you ever in a drama, speech, sports, pep, or glee club? Tell about it.

I was in all the school plays because I tried out for minor parts. There were a couple of people in our school that always got the lead in everything: Dix Cloward, and Dawn Baker. I knew I didn’t have a chance at the lead, anyway, all I really wanted was to be a part of things. 

I was on the debate team, not real hot at that, better at speech.

As for sports, I could tie my own shoes.

In college I was in the drill team. It was the girls counterpart to the ROTC (reserve officers training corp). It was called Sponsors. We marched in parades and met big shots in the military when they came to Cedar City. We had sharp looking uniforms.

 In a short bio written by Russell he adds: “At BAC Eyvonne was a member of the Air Force ROTC Girls auxiliary, called the Sponsor Corp. This was a precision drill team that traveled extensively as invited to preform. The highlights were the Heldorado Days celebration in Las Vegas, Nevada and competition at Oxidental College in Pasadena, California. Her commanding officer was Cadet Major Russell Black.”
