Sports Banquet goes potluck For the first time in Apache Junction High School's history, a Pot Luck Sports Award Banquet was held. Always in years before the banquet took place at the Superstition lnn or the Elks' Lodge. Due to inflation, the rise in food costs, and the cost of living, the prices offered would force the Athletic Department to raise the admission fee. At banquets in recent years, it cost approximately 52.50 per person admission. Prices have been upped to somewhere around 54.00, said Athletic Director Don Nelson. Since the banquet was pot luck, and held in the Supersti- tion Elementary School gym, it didn't cost anything except a dish of food, said Mr. Nelson. Another benefit from the pot luck banquet was the quality and variety of the food. Pot roast, round steak, fried chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, and corn were just a few of the dishes that were brought. Seniors brought the main dishes, iuniors brought the vege- table dishes, sophomores brought the salads, and freshmen brought the deserts and baked goods. Two more pot luck Sports Award Banquets are scheduled this year. The winter banquet will be held March 8, and the spring banquet will be May l7. They should get better, and become more popular as they get better organ- ized, said Coach Nelson. TOP LEFT - Sr. Dale Diulus receives trophy for football.

Cheers ain ew sponsor To be a good cheerleader you should be able to maintain your self-confidence, which simply means that you believe in yourself and your abili- ties. Your personal appearance is very important. You shouldn't be overweight or underweight, and you should try to be neat in personal habits as well as appearance. You should be prompt and dependable, loyal to the school and able to put duty above personal desires, always be a good sport, cooperate with everyone, and have a good scholastic standing. You must practice so that when you perform, your routines will look good. Your routines should be original, suitable, in good taste, and high in spectator appeal. The way you do your routines, adds to the spirit of the cheer. Routines should contain the following: lAl personality proiection, lBl self-confidence and poise, lCl rhythm and time ing, KDJ coordination of arm and leg movements with words, tEl voice quality and microphone ability, QFJ grace and variety of iumps, lGl pep ond enthusiasm, and lHl precision. Jumps should be an important part of all cheerleading routines, and they should get spe- cial emphasis from you in your practice sessions. When making new cheers, they should get spe- cial emphasis from you in your practice sessions. When making new cheers, they should be fun to say, and easy to understand. You should choose words that are understandable, and you should put definite motions to them. The motions for your cheers accomplish two purposes: I. They help the students say the cheer in the desired manner. 2. They help to convey the idea and meaning of the cheer. Successful pep rallies are well-planned, ade- quately rehearsed, and smoothly conducted. They built school spirit in the team and the stu- dent body. You should keep your rallies short, simple, and peppy. It your school has a lot of school spirit, the students will be proud of their school, their teachers, and their classmates. Your main iobs at the games are supporting your team, and knowing when and when not to cheer. You must choose a cheer that is right for the situation. All cheerleaders should work together as a team. Teamwork is the main factor in building school spirit. l y -J . ,. 3 5 Y 'im '..c 4 ' 'Af 1,89 ,,YL .
