Powderpuff prestige increases Many male seniors claim the highlight of their years in high school were not playing football at the big A, winning a CIF Championship or receiving an athletic scholarship, but being a powderpuff coach or cheerleader. A Powderpuff Cheerleader is character- ized by a male athlete who stuffs himself into a skimpy female pepster's uniform that is usually ten sizes too small. They borrow mom's bra and do their best to develop a figure worthy of a playboy's Playmate. They borrow their sister's make-up and curling iron and do their best to be a male caricature of the efferves- cent pepsters. They spend hours choreo- graphing a routine worthy of a spirit rib- .IP bon at a pepster camp. They practice that routine over and over for weeks prior to the game. The results, to them, are worth- while. Every year the prestige of being a powderpuff cheerleader grows. Senior Herb Smith achieved the pinnacle of Powderpuff success when he was crowned 1983 Powderpuff Queen. Being a Powderpuff Coach is much more serious business. Many of them emulate their own football coaches, Pete Yoder, Bob Lewis and Gary Meek. They come to the field equipped with clipboards, notes, plays and whistles and proceed to run a practice session that would gladden the heart of Bear Bryant. 1. Junior Coach Lance Rooney paces the sidelines, frustrated with his teams performance. Although the Juniors were shut out, the girls still had fun. 2. Performing during lunch, seniors Greg DiLeo, Chris Johnson, Rocky Caligiuri, Craig Rae, Robert Ehler and john Liddi attempt the can-can kick. They performed during lunch due to the fact that there was not enough time during the pep assembly. 3. Senior Coach Dean Honaker instructs jan Rod- gers to get out on the field. This is Honaker's second year coaching the powderpuff event. powderpuff - 197
