 We've Got Spirit o ver the past five years interest in the Pep Club has steadily decreased. This year there were less than twenty members. Why is this? According to Della Reese, Pep Club President, lack of school spirit is probably the main reason, especially after football season ended. This was noticeably true. There were rarely more than six or seven Pep Club members at basketball games. There are plenty of people in the stands at games, and each one is a potential mem- ber. Our job now is to make the Pep Club a more attractive club to belong to, said Coach Clem, advisor of the group. 5 Pep Club officers frown after an opponent scores. 6 The Pep Club joins the crowd in a cheer. 7 Rick Kucynski gives a big charge. 8 Pep Club members: FIRST ROW: Debby Smith, Judy Reilly, Kim Manning, Kathy Owens, Julio Harrison; SECOND ROW: Carmen DiCillo, Tim Siegh, Della Reese, Heddy Hodge, Annette Reynolds, Jim Barnell, Rick Kucynski.

Toot, Whistle, Boom, Tweet Who are those people over there wearing Burger King crowns? Why, it's the Pep Band! The Pep Band is always on hand when needed to help cheer the team on, lead the Alma Mater, enter- tain during halftime or play at pep rallies. But does the Pep Band get any recognition? In the past, no, band member Karen Fitzgerald said, but this year people come up to compliment us or request songs. Our job is to motivate the crowd, added John Tupper, band President, to get them riled up. 1 The reed section warms up. 2 Pep Band members: FIRST ROW: Michelle Dougherty, Diane Flores, Curt Angle, Keith Ducker, Tim Asfazadour, Frank Duren, Marcie Mathis; SECOND ROW: Kathy Renard, Tami Johnston, Karen Fitzgerald, Sue Lancaster, Pam Mulette, Hap Manning; THIRD ROW: Mimi Dominguez, Chris Emerson, John Tupper, Sabrina Porter, Greg Renante, Claire Beauman; FOURTH ROW: Tom Keliinoi, Steve Van Dorn, Diane Todd, Ken Perez, Don Niderost, Pat Finch; FIFTH ROW: Jim Lee, Mike Wilson, Larry Longwell, Stuart Sanders. 3 Band President John Tupper plays at a basketball game. 4 The Pep Band's star tuba player, Stuart Sanders. 144 Pep Band

A dripping wet man wearing nothing but a towel ran out to the street and began to take pictures in earnest. What could cause such a reaction from an otherwise normal human being? The Drill Team, in company with the Marching Band, as they practiced on the streets of Clairemont. “We practiced all summer long, says Colonel Annette Guerin, “and now during school it's two hours in the morning and two in the after- noon. The trophies they have earned prove their efforts were not in vain. The work, however, does not end after four hours of practice. They earn money in addition to A.S.B. funding through car washes. This provides transportation to their out of town competi- tions. “People aren't always enthusiastic about the Drill Team, Annette adds, but they don't realize how many people you meet when you go to a competi- tion. It's a lot of fun, but it's something you really have to want to do. Devotion and school spirit in their ranks doesn't seem to be much of a problem among the smiling Hawkettes. 146 Drill Team
