To row: Stephanie Gar- For the first time ever in the school's history, there was a pep squad consisting of six guys. These guys were Aron Reed, David Pratt, Iosh Haynie, Chris Hilbert, Ionathan Saw, and Charlie Dietz. Aron Reed and'David Pratt were the students who got the idea flowing, according to Pratt. They were know as the Brahma Nons last year. They were the people who sat in the stands and got the crowd more ex- cited about the football games. After the games, many parents and grandparents would come up to me and ask me why I wasnit a cheerleader, said varsity cheerleader Aron Reed. That is what started it for the guys who wanted to try out for the squad. The guys really made the pep look different. However, the girls still gave their best to the pep squad. They were the students who were asked to go to Florida to compete in a national competition. The pep squad puts much effort into making a routine look good. They practice about eight to nine hours a week. During the year the squad changes practice times because of games. They practice five days a week, including last period and after school. :fi X ,....---G cia, Christi Gale, Angie Kim, ang Head IV Cheer Kari Morris.

I r The Cknor of Success 64 OrganizationsfColorguard A stick with a rag on the end and a gun made out of wood. Most people thought this was what the colorguard consisted of. Actually, rifles are balanc- ed, machine - crafted wood, and flags are fiberglass poles with costly flags attached, The flag squad was taught by Carol Craig, a professional advisor. Craig had marched with her high school guard as well as a outh group based in the east. She led tlle flag squad to their greatest success in Diamond Bar history. At every competion, the flags won either sweepstakes or first lace. Martha Kline, flag lieutenant, at- tributes their success to a lot of hard workers. It was really fun experience, com- mented Carrie O'Conner, junior. The rifles were advised b returnin graduate Kim Law. With flour new and inexperienced members, it was a rebuilding year. However the rifles managed to place in almost ever corn- petHion in which they were jucfged as we . Sophomore Kell Yamamoto said, There was a lot ofypractice, but it was worth it. Colorguard is more than just polyester uniforms and marching on wet grass. During the spring, flags and rifles combined to form a show which was performed on the basketball courts. These shows were much more intense than field shows, as the guard competed against an average of thirty other schools. Diamond Bar did quite well and held the title of Western Regional champions. yi ' rl I I L
