The first time the varsity squad worked together as one was in July, at camp. We weren't very enthusiastic to begin with, but we woke up soon. We learned new ideas for cheers, enthusiasm and most of all we learned about squad unity. Coming home with memories, scratchy throats, pulled muscles and most impor- tantly two ribbons, (one for excellence and one for most improved), somehow made us proud. The football and soccer seasons began quickly. Even though there were a few losses, we were always proud to be a part of the Eagles and our enthusiasm in our teams grew with every game .. . We got to know the teams which helped on our spirit. Practices were long and hard especially trying to coordinate out pom-pom routines, (‘‘Get Off’’ and ‘‘Freak Out’’), and getting everything together. But we managed after hours of hard work. We rarely agreed but eventually we got our stuff together. With the crowd getting bigger at every game, our spirit was growing. The period between the fall sports and basketball season was a long waiting period, but we made it. Our Eagles were winners and so were we. Like always, though, as soon as the season got started, it was time to end. Games were more exciting than ever and cheers grew in numbers and quality as well as our home crowd. With the help of Ms. Pederson, and Mrs. Lort the mascot and the J.V. cheer- leaders, Varsity had a good season as well as a good time. Next year’s varsity plans to keep the ‘‘Boogie Beat”’ going. : J epreaeites — i z , From the top: Mandy Cupeto, Kim Stein, Cathy Miller, Terri Blevins, lona Wright, Denise Russell, Tina Matherly, Cindy Wolfe. | i }

Russell) Tracy Davis. CHEERLEADERS BOOGIE” THROUGH SEASON THE 1978-79 J.V. CHEER- LEADERS With only 1 experienced cheerleader, the J.V. Cheerleaders did a terrific job this year. The cheer- leaders were really ambi- tious .. . they worked hard and they really put out a superb effort. They came a long way since the first time cheering at a game. They showed their enthusi- asm in practice as well as in the game. Their hard work and determination really paid off. The team as well as the crowd received them very well. There were some obstacles such as fear of falling and nervous- ness but they came through after a couple of games.
