Cheer Roir Superior The Varsity Cheer squad showed its spirit over the summer by attending the National Spirit Ambassadors Camp at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The camp ran from July 20-23. The cheer- leaders attended classes three times a day to learn new cheers, chants and stunts. Evaluation by the NSA instructors was based upon technique, creativity, and communication. The MdN cheer line worked hard all week and was rewarded with superior-plus ratings on all the evalu- ations. Dana Zbachnik and Adam Phillips were chosen as All-American Cheer- leaders.

Timeout From hope we 'll do well on the evaluation to- day. I know that we've practiced enough! This might have been one of the many things heard from students who attended summer camps and practices. Many Marcos students took time from summer activities to prepare for the new school year. The cheerleaders and pommies kept busy going to a camp at Northern Arizona University. Their camp ran from July 20- 23 and was sponsored by the National Spirit Ambassadors. New cheers were taught during the day and were judged at night. ln addition, the football teams started practicing in August to get prepared for the new season. They practiced at all times during the day which meant that the heat put a strain on the players. Matt Fox, Summer Fun a JV football player said, The first couple of days of practice were hard because we weren't used to running, and the heat made if worse. Many other students attended camps as well. Yearbook editors attended an American interscholastic Press Associ- ation Camp to gain ideas for the annual. Band members also traveled to Prescott for a week of intensive marching, playing, and performing to prepare for the football season and contests. Selected students attended leadership camps to assist in creating a smooth year for their clubs. Altogether a number of Marcos stu- dents dedicated their summersg while this caused a hectic summer for many, Mar- cos organizations and student body reaped the benefits of their efforts.
