Cheerleaders platoon for sports In an important change from the previous year, when members of the drill team doubled as cheerleaders, cheerleaders were again elected by talent evaluation and popular vote. Four different squads cheered for football volleyball, girls’ basketball. boys’ basketball and wrestling. This assured that all sporting events would have cheerleaders to support them. As in the past, spirit started off with a bang and then slowed way down. Head Cheerleader Laura Schroeder reflected. At the begin- ning of the year spirit was tremendous. but then students seemed to lose interest. Spirit buses were cancelled and fewer students cheered at the games.’’ The cheerleaders had no bearing on the loss of school spirit. They scheduled pep assemblies on a regular basis and displayed spirit posters before every sporting event. Following student body voting on May 12. 13 girls earned positions as cheerleaders for the 1980-81 school year. Chosen as football volleyball cheerleaders were Lisa Abrames, Carolyn Backstrum, Regina Lord, Karen McManus. Kati Newsom and Kara Saldeen. Abrames, Backstrum, McManus and Karen Buffum will lead the cheers for boys’ basketball. Lori Burcaw, Janelle Fletcher, Lidia Haughey and Belle Morris will cheer for girls’ basketball. Cheering for wrestling will be Lord. Newsom, Jenny Godbolt and Karla Porter. Cheerleaders 17

Council faces many challenges 'jou CM-fT VJICrt AV ISIE ttf Student Council President Dave Kemmer led the school through a rigorous campaign of activities which began with homecoming week festivities. For the second consecutive year, afternoon classes were dismissed for class competition day in Stanley Park. Class competition included the pie eating, marshmallow stuffing, pyramid building and spitting contests. StuCo once again sponsored a successful Morp. featuring the music and light show of Q-2. Morp is the traditional semi-formal dance held at the beginning of Christmas vacation. The school administration again consented to the addition of a ski day in the winter calendar. The students were dismissed after lunch, when buses then took them to Hidden Valley Ski Area for an afternoon of skiing at special rates. Competitive jumping and slalom events were held. An evening of dancing in the student center concluded the day’s activities. Assisting Kemmer in StuCo offices were Ty Ricker, vice president and Laura Schroeder, secretary-treasurer. The Student Council had the responsibility of approving all money-raising projects for classes and clubs. In all-school officer elections held May 28. students selected Jim Dickinson to be StuCo president for 1980-81. Also chosen in the elections were Lisa Wenger, vice president and Lisa Abrames, secretary-treasurer. DOUBLE CHECKING.
