I just sat in the corner of the room, remarked Grewohl, then it just clicks and everyone gets close. They are like your sisters. I really enjoy witnessing their personal growth, accomplishments, and self satisfac- tion,'l commented Debbie Rocha, Modera- tor. Rocha ultimately described herself as an overgrown cheerleader. Just like any other organization, Rocha and the spirit leaders had their share of memorable experiences. I can remember going to Sacred Heart for a workshop, re- called Rocha, It's an all boys school and when we walked through, the entire squad stopped. There are also hardships that go along with being a spirit leader, like when a game is lost or pom-poms are forgotten. You can't stop, you have to keep the crowd up, remarked Gina Gemma, Varsi- ty Cheerleader. 'AIt's a real responsibilityg if you forget your pom-poms, it sets the entire squad back, added Tina George, Head Varsity Song Girl. A lot is expected of the spirit leaders, not just in class, but outside as well. They all have different tasks, but they seem to share one feeling. Often you ask yourself, why am I doing this? Then you think of the friendships and accomplishments you've made, concluded Donna Kufer, Varsity Flag Girl. - Paula Calderon - 207 Varsity Song Girls Back Row: 'Una

For the spirit leaders it was all part of their final class of the day. The spirit leaders consisted of four squads: Varsity Song Girls, Varsity Cheer- leaders, Varsity Flag Girls, and Junior Varsi- ty Cheerleaders. But something highlighted and complimented these organizations. It was the frolicking Monarch feline brought to life on the sidelines by Misty Hunter, junior. Because spirit involvement goes beyond normal school hours, course expectations have added demands. Squads are re- sponsible for writing thank you's and serv- ing at various banquets. Preparation for spirit activities began with one week at the U.S.A. Camp in Santa Barbara, primarily to build squad unity and organization. Wc began early for the spirit leaders, but Dana Grewohl there was an additional obstacle. Being one of the new membi she had-to conquer her anxiety of bei

Members were involved in service- oriented activities. These activities ranged from concession sales at sports events, to major fundraising sales, promoting school spirit and community involvement. The club, under the supervision of coor- dinators Anne Egan and Pat Ersepske, worked to helped finance the sports pro- grams and create unity among all of teams.
