Thummel cheers as unofficial pepster One of the most vocal and most spirited pepsters on campus this year was unofficial. Senior Phil Thummel took it upon himself to become the instands cheerleader during the 1982 Aztec football sea- son. His now famous Give me an 'A' cheer began his unparalleled success as the unknown cheerleader . Students in the stands responded to Thummel, as did many parents. Thummel's cheerleading became such an established part of the game that the official cheerleaders often consulted him as to when and which cheer to perform next. Thummel's following became so large that Pepster Advisor Becky Reed invited Thummel to come down onto the field during CIF playoffs to cheer with the rest of the cheer- leaders, thereby making him official. The official cheerleaders really had no choice, by the time the Aztecs entered CIF playoffs Thummel was being re- quested by the crowd. Often he was being requested so loudly by the crowd that the cheers of the other cheerleaders would not be heard. It was obvious that the officials could not beat him, so they asked him to join. The feeling I get is so exhilarating that that is the main reason I do the cheer. I think it is funny seeing all the parents and the whole crowd getting up and cheering with me. Seeing everyone up also gives me a feeling of power, said Thummel. Sadly, Thummel's cheers were absent from the varsity bas- ketball season. It wasn't that he wasn't wanted by the crowd or even by the official cheerleaders, but Varsity Basketball Coach Mike Moore would probably have objected to his starting guard leaving the game to lead cheers. 1.

His popularity grew to the point that the Pepsters invited him to join them on the field during CIF games. 2. Laura White performs a cheer with other Pepsters at a pep assembly.

Girls' League still active As in years past the Girls' League was one of the most active clubs on campus. Their projects and fundraisers went to finance future events and the annual Girls' League Scholarship as well as the Girls' League gift of original art to the school that is presented to the principal on Awards Night. To fund these various activities the club sold Halloween Grams, which were delivered the Friday prior to Halloween by costume- clad Girls' League members. They also sponsored the fifth Winter Wrappings Fashion Show in December and the traditional Sadie Hawkins Dance and Spirit Week in March. The club, advised by Sandy Keil, Susan White and Carolyn Barnes, was run by student officers President Devrie Hicks, Vice- President Michelle Cotter, Secretary Carin Cisneros, Treasurer Kathy Yang and Social Chairperson Richelle Davidson. 1. Jim Appel and his date Diane Stahl get hitched at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. That dance, sponsored by Girls' League, was a victim of poor attendance as were all the dances during this school year. 2. 1982-83 Girls' League -- front, S. Keil, J. Sciortino, D. Pritchett, M.
