Spirit-Lifters Strive To |£ I felt needed. It was fun and exciting; a chance to get closer to everyone.: Michelle Roesler, Ban- M eaps, jumps, and man y m dance steps were what £ the drill team and cheerleaders did to the best of their abilities. To perfect these skills the drill and cheerleading teams worked hard long hours for many competition. It usually took two or three months to prepare for competition, stated Shelly Roemer, senior drill team member. Rehearsing took hours of dedication and labor. I practiced on my own time at home when I could, stated Jenny Henshaw, junior, and Lori Kolterman, sophomore, both drill team members. The cheerleaders also took many months To prepare for a competition it took a couple of months, but if we already had the cheer down, then it didn ' t take as long to get it to- gether, explained Crystal Al- veti, cheerleader. Individual students also per- formed in competition. Steph- anie Gordan, drill team mem- ber, attended the California State Competition and placed sixth out of forty girls. In team competition varsity and J.V. cheerleaders both placed supe- rior and poms placed excellent at the R.C.C competition. Also, Melissa Penticoff was chosen to represent Arlington ' s drill team in Miss Drill Team compe- tition. The active drill team was involved in two other firsts this season. They hosted a drill team competition on campus and in March the drill team per- formed in the Los Angeles Lakers half-time show. The team was chosen by the Forum Activity Commission based on their performances through their drill team season. by Gina Catdenlla mga Jennifer Martinez cheers at a football game.

Beautifying Boring Bulletin I think it ' s a good idea for teachers to decorate their boards, this way when I get bored in class I have something interesting to look at, confessed Kelly Drexler, sophomore. ver walk into your new £,— classroom and there S - were new posters all over your teacher ' s bulletin board? Or you take a test and all you hear is the stapler being pounded all over the board? Many of the teachers decorated their bulletin boards to add life to their room. I decorated my walls, because I liked my room to be cheerful, and I also like art, stated Mrs. Bonnie Williams. Teachers usually decorated their bulletin boards according to the class they taught. Bulletin boards not only took time, but cost money that the teachers paid. Even though it cost money from my own pocket to decorate my room, I still did it, because it was attractive and because it made the room reflect the subject I taught, revealed Miss Dolores Sanchez. Bulletin boards also gave the students an opportunity to learn something new. Mot only did teachers have a unique way of decorating their bulletin boards, but most had an interesting way of setting up their classroom rules. Mr. Larry Mumma did his class rules along with driving rules. I liked the way Mr. Mumma wrote his rules, because he used street signs which helped explain them, stated Ian Ap- pleford, junior. Some teachers went as far as making their rules the best by decorating them with drawings. According to some students they felt that bulletin boards were interesting to look at. It was better to have decorated walls rather than having bare walls to stare at every day. I thought that bul- letin boards were a good idea, because it helped me under- stand my classes better, re- vealed Sondra Strawbridge, ju- nior. by Kathy Rykaczewski LOOKING OVER THE REPORTS Ka- ren Jones, a junior, reads Mrs. Linda Stonebreakers Advanced English 1 bi- ography book reports.
