pi ic At Hayfield Therese Gerdon chats, while Sheri Carnahan watches and in the meantime, Sheri Clifford and Ann Couture smile and make eyes to someone in the stands. Stand up and holler!!. . . that was the spirit our varsity cheerleaders had through the “1975-76” season. They attempted to get everyone up on their feet, cheering before the halftime show came at the football and basketball games. After attending both a football game and a basketball game, everyone noticed that the two squads were different. Instead of having one squad cheering throughout the entire year, a change was made to include two. One squad cheered during football games and wrestling matches and the other during basketball and soccer games. Having two sets of cheerleaders gave more girls an opportunity to know what cheerleading was about. The girls worked hard leading everyone at pep rallies and trying to sell their quota of programs at the games; but most of all, they led us through the Lake Braddock sports season giving everyone the big B-R-U-I-N cheer!

Fatigue, heat, sore feet and lost voices, though hindrances, didn t stop the J.V. Cheerleaders. These were some of the things the cheerleaders coped with while at Randolf Macon College during the previous summer. While at camp, they won, along with the varsity cheerleaders, 4 awards for spirit and an award for squad personality. On their own they earned “superior ribbons” for evaluation of the squad. The J.V. Cheerleaders then came to school to bring their class closer together with the spirit they developed at camp. Through bake sales, car washes, and poster making, they displayed their enthusiasm for their class activities. They supported and upheld the school teams with their confidence and spirit. Basketball Cheerleaders: Gigi Wasniewski, Debbie Simmons, Marian Moke, Carol Vietenthal captain, Lee Anne Herndon, Julie Kosnik — co-captain, Pam Mangum, Michele Musco, Dana Fanning.

Up, up, and don’t look down! The Highlife Club was busy doing things and going places during the Bicentennial year. The clubs sponsor Mrs. Gray, and the president, Steve Bishop, arranged and set up for weekend excursions to places such as Old Rag Mountain and trips on the Appalachian Trail. The trips took place on 2 to 3 day weekends and school vacations. The club members went mountain climbing and backpacking. Near the end of the day the members would set up plastic tarps under which they would place their sleeping bags and equipment. The club managed to plan their own meals and organize their trips from time of arrival to time of departure. They all felt that the trips were a great experience and that all their hard work was well worth-while.

Back Row: Stan Lee, Kevin Donnelly, Ken Blair, Steve Bishop, Dave Collis, Valerie Schafer, Steve John¬ son. Project A.Y.D. “Assisting Youth Development,” was an activity of the Fairfax County Red Cross Chapter’s Youth Program. The program was developed to provide sixth grade students with answers to questions they might have concerning drugs, drinking, smoking, the laws connected with these subjects, and any other anxieties which they felt related to high school. The team members of the program underwent training every Wednesday night which included sessions on leadership training, drugs and rehabilitation, the laws and their application in Fairfax County, and alcohol and tobacco. The A.Y.D. members coordinated and planned programs with the sixth grade teachers in order to relay information to the students and managed a “rap” session with them on subjects of their own choosing. r t r Bolfom Rotiin Twedt, Nancy Martin, Pam Hillary.
