Recreational sports are a refreshing CHANGE OF PACE from the ordinary. No longer was football, baseball, and basketball the full realm of the sporting world. Widely recognized sports such as surfing, skiing and skate boarding hit the scene taking over and cap- tivating the minds of many. One really didn't have to participate in order to fit in. All that was needed was just some of the right duds. These were obtained at speciality shops such as the Bare Cover. Alpine Ski Keller, or California Daze. Skiing in Arizona was one very popular recreational sport. Close and easily ac- cessible resorts made it con- venient to just go for the day. For some, Arizona didn't offer enough excite- ment so students organized ski trips to places like Purga- tory and Telluride. Another hip form of recreational ex- citement was skin boarding. This sport was played on wet turf (school irrigation). Then there was the ever popular skateboarding. Being such a versatile sport that can be done olmost anywhere, it was very popular. Last but not least was the year's most popular recreational sport: couch potatoeing. A difficult sport to master, it became very involved as the game progressed. Start- ing with just the basics it moved up to advanced T.V.channel punching. Design by Marc Stenoien. Photos by Jeff Darbut. Ash- ley Towne. TAKE A HIKE. OUT OF PLACE.

' What would it be like to show up at school an hour and fif- teen minutes earlier than nor- mal, already hindering needed beauty rest? In order to be a member on Spiritline one would have to. The members practiced an hour and a half everyday and worked on cheers, chants and pyramids performed during halftimes at games. The line of 18 was chosen from a field of 60. They prac- ticed during the summer and went to a cheer camp in LET'S GO MUSTANGS! Members of tbe JV $p ritine get behind the junior varsity bosketbai team to hep them edge out Marcos de Nsa. It was the lost home game for the girls to cheer at during the season, Flagstaff. They also pre- pared routines for competi- tions throughout the year. From the 18 members, two captains were chosen, sen- iors Jennifer Penic and Yvonne Trujillo. They helped coordinate the dances and made up chants for the football and basketball sea- sons. The junior varsity team of eight members did much of the same thing as Spiritline. They organize cheers, chants and pyramids which they perform at the JV foot- ball and basketball games. The two captains, Cari Sedlak and Kelly Holland, did the organizing for such things. They also organized routines for competitions which they took first place in the Fiesta Bowl Competition, and received the Master Key Spirit award at UCA camp during the summer. It was rewarding when we took first place at Fiesta Bowl, and received the Mas- ter Key award at UCA camp, stated Kristy Green- way. According to Ms. Ar- menta I honestly feel that pride is the key to success and unity, and these girls have experienced the true meaning of ’Mustang Pride '. Design by Brod Treptow.
