Charles W Baker High School - Lyre Yearbook (Baldwinsville, NY)

Cheering on their team, Val Chamberlain and Joyce Witt often go to games. Kelly Carroll and Scott Hughes take a break from watching a soccer game. Before I get into trouble, I’m not saying that all the cheerleaders don’t cheer, because they really do a good job, but sometimes they concentrate too much on the game. Overall, one could say that B’ville does support its teams very well. And I want to congratulations every one of those B’ville athletes. You are all terrif- ic and we will always support you. Bearing the cold, Tim Hall watches the X-Country team at their meet. Devoted to the Bees, Arc is often seen filming the teams in their various events. With Spirit! Sidelines 9

B’ville Magic H The Bee’s Sting. Low many times have you at- tended a football or lacrosse game in the freezing, blistering cold and wondered why you were there? Well, since those enthusiastic people never get a chance to be thanked, we decided to take the time and dedicate a part of the yearbook to them. Many students attend these games faithfully. When asked why they insist on going, 1 often get the response, “Why not?” or “There’s nothing else to do.” I think if you asked them, and said it wouldn’t go in the yearbook, they’d answer dif- ferently. “I think Stanley’s cute,” or “Sally made me come,” would prob- ably be more truthful answers. Oh, well . . . From the coach’s point of view you might hear this sort of answer “Well, I think it helps the guys, be- cause, you see, they like the sup- port, and if they had more, well, the season would be a whole differ- ent story, and we would win more ... In short, the coaches like the support. But asking the players, they an- swer, “What? You mean there were people watching? You were there? Wow, I didn’t even see you.” And the list goes on. But 1 think the parents are the most supportive from within the community. If you’ve gone to a game or match, you know what I mean. “Kill ’em, Junior!” and “Crush that------, George!” are many of the “cheers” that are yelled. But 1 love it when the parents get on the refer- ee’s back. I can’t even repeat what they say; it’s too nasty. I guess you can’t say that the parents aren’t supportive. Notice, the last thing I said was that the parents were the best outside sup- port. The cheerleaders top it all off. I guess the best way to summarize the cheerleaders is to relate a conversation I had with one. “Jane, I heard the soccer team won!” “Gee, 1 thought we lost!” “No, Jane. We won 7-0.” “Oh, was that the score? Thanks for telling me. Someone wanted to know, and well, you know, I forgot.” “It’s understandable.” The Baldwinsville-Liverpool match-up gets under way with the National An- them.

Thank God . . . It’s the Weekend! w eekends have never been better since the school year of 1982. It seems that each year has gotten better and this year is the best. I think some- times we forget that a good party is not what the weekend is all about. I’m not saying that parties aren’t fun, I’m saying that we forget that weekends consist of something else. Who goes to parties from 2:26 p.m. Friday after- noon to 8:02 on Monday morning? No- body! And this section deals with what others do during “time off”. When asked the question, “What do you do besides go to parties on weekends?”, the biggest and most enthusiastic response was “Sleep!” Yes, that’s what many students at BHS do. It’s understandable because many times students stay up all night long and do the homework teachers assign them, (Aren’t I right?) So, the students must catch up on their sleep sometime. Another thing that was popular to do on weekends was either to partici- pate in or watch athletic events. Satur- day morning and Sunday afternoon. It is isn’t football, it’s either basketball or v Uii ano ana Suzanne Shende find that weekends a.» a j and have a good time during track meets.
