A13J-A2.B witfj.. VeYsonalify Each person at Irvine High School contributed different aspects of their character and uniqueness to make up the personality of the school. The clubs on cannpus help to display that PERSONALITY. Clubs united people not only with common interests and goals, but they also helped to increase the understanding between students and teachers. The special talents of each club on campus helped to enrich everyone ' s stay at Irvine. Whether it was theater or an academic or a recreational club, there was something for every student on campus. Yet for all of their differences, the clubs shared common things: the PRECISION: The Irvine High School marching band performs in the Tustin Tiller Parade. Opportunity to make new friendships, to share in different activities with the support of a group, and the special feeling of being involved. Being in Thespians has been a good thing for me, said Junior Alicia Martel, It made me more outgoing. And working on a show creates a fami- ly. You have to do your best, because everyone ' s counting on you! Although there were many different types of clubs, each one had a uni- queness all its own. Joining the clubs at I.H.S. were the most important ways that we showed our AURA OF DIVERSITY. ■ SHOW ME AGAIN?

Varsity cheer storms Dallas, again Electrifying spectators at their first major competition of the year, the 1984-85 Varsity Cheer squad cap- tured a spot to represent Southern California in the National Cheerleading Competition in Dallas, Texas for the second consecutive year. Last year when we went to Dallas, everything was new and we didn ' t know exactly what was going on. This year we know what kind of competition we are up against, and what style of cheering the other squads have so we know we are going to be ready and be strong competitors. The other squads better watch out! said Advisor Joanie Kruger. During the summer the girls practic- ed three days a week for two and a half hours each day in preparation for the school year. This consistent effort was rewarded by a first-place trophy from Hibbards All American Cheerleading Camp which was held on the campus of UCLA. When we went to camp at the end of August, it was really hard to say if we would get first place because we were up against a number of tough schools, so when we got first it was great because all of our hard work dur- ing the summer had paid off, said Senior Pam Orton. Summer camp was only the beginn- ing as the squad then focused their at- tention on football and basketball games and pep rallies. Supporting all the teams that went to CIF, the squad added a new dimension to their role as a spirit leader. I loved going to all of the CIF games, because they were so very ex- citing! It felt good that we could be there and support our school team, said Senior Shelley Renteria. Not only did the squad work to sup- port the school, but they also found satisfaction as top contenders in various competitions. According to Captain Karen Beery, the members had attitudes of dedication and com- mittment to the squad. It ' s so nice to come to practice because we all get along so well and we all want to work hard to win, said Beery. They all work really well together and I know they will use their talents to do well in competition. It is going to be hard to see them go because they have probably been the best varsity squad I ' ve had. They ' re a bunch of neat girls, said Kruger ■ — by Rebecca Thomas TAKING A BREAK: Varsity Cheerleader Rebec- ca Thomas shows off her pearly whites between chants.
