Regina Lord checks to make sure the faithful Bobcat fans chills with a letter jacket and gloves. Leaders rally spirit Cheerleaders were once again elected on popularity and ability for individual sports so they could concentrate on the sport. Winter sports cheerleaders faced the problem of obscenities being yelled during pep assemblies. This caused the number of pep rallies to be reduced. Lisa Abrames, head cheerleader for both football and boys’ basketball, noted that the cheerleaders cut out the cheers that obscenities were yelled after, but that did not seem to help. The cheerleaders also said that getting rowdy and yelling were part of spirit, yet obscenities were not the way to show it. I was really pleased with the cheerleaders this year. People think it is just a lot of glamour and popularity, but they do a lot of things that they don’t get credit for. It is really hard work.” sponsor Grade Stephen explained. Besides cheering at all the games, each set of winter sports cheerleaders adapted a routine to music. The boys’ basketball cheerleaders did “Another One Bites The Dust,” while the girls’ basketball cheerleaders worked out a routine to Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” and the wrestling cheerleaders, did, “Cat Scratch Fever.” CATCH THAT PEPSI SPIRIT Between cheers at University.

StuCo slips, slumps Class rivalry, administrative opposition, and a pervading sluggishness plagued the 1980-81 EPHS Student Council. Despite the efforts of Council President Jim Dickinson and his co-officers Vice President Lisa Wenger and Secretary-Treasurer Lisa Abrames. the 1980-81 Council was less productive in comparison with Student Councils in the past few years. With senior Student Council members outnumbering all the other classes combined, the senior class had quite a powerful influence over Student Council affairs — and they used it. often irresponsibly. The juniors, sophomores and French Club seemed to bear the brunt of the senior voting block. The reason for the excess of upperclassmen in Student Council was that the representative club officers were almost all seniors. Outside of the traditional Student Council affairs, Morp, homecoming and aprroving money-raising projects for classes and clubs, not much extra was accomplished by MR. PRESIDENT. MR PRESIDENT! Butter might still melt in the mouths (but not in the hands) of these budding politicians casting their votes in Student Council. the Council. Often, the high school administration played a part in vetoing activities planned by Student Council. Other times, activities were discussed, passed, and then left to quietly expire, buried beneath the minutes of subsequent Student Council meetings. Popular activities in the past, such as class competition day and ski day. were dropped. After last minute plans for an air guitar concert and an all-school movie were nixed. Student Council members decided to vote themselves a picnic. The proposal was met with little opposition from the administration and the picnic took place on May 19. In the May 26 Student Council elections, students chose Mason Nichols as Student Council president for 1981-82. Assisting Nichols will be Lisa Abrames as vice president, and Angie Coale as secretary-treasurer.
