Mau- reen McGucken, and Teena Glass can be expected to chant at a Pep Assem- bly. To be able to be on the Spirit Squad one has to make up the movements to a cheer and then perform it in front of the judges. One is required to do the fight song routine, cartwheel, splits, and threejumps. One also must be the right weight for her height. Marita Royere, the sponsor of the Spirit Squad. was raised in California and has five other brothers and sisters. She attended Arizona State University on a softball scholarship. She played on ASU's softball team and led her team with some home runs in her freshman year. Miss Royere was never a cheer- leader. but she was a member of the Pep Club. The Spirit Squad spends all first hour practicing and from an hour to an hour and a half after school. One of the frus- trations of being a cheerleader stated Julie Wright junior, is When you try really hard to do a good job and have the crowd yell with you and they act like they don't even hear youll Julie doesn't feel that cheerleading will help her later on in life. but it does make you have more confidence in yourself and makes it easier for you to communicate with other people. Some of the techniques used to excite crowds are making posters, hav- ing pep assemblies, smile when they perform and really support their team with enthusiasm. Zt JANET LAVALETTE. SOPHOMORE. said. I like to cheer our team on to vicotyr no matter where we go. 33 THE REASON I like being in cheers is because I like to sup- port our school team in sports. said Maureen McGuckin.junior. 4l MY MOST EMBAR- RASING moment was when I was a senior. I did a pep assembly with a pie contest. I was supposed to hit Coach Henry with a pie, but missed him completely and the pie went all over the gym, said Mary Marshall. senior. Take l05 Stop action
