Top: Cheerleaders Sue Olson, Toni LeCercq, Khris Hemion, Sharon Greenspan, Judi Monihan, and Julie Lane, yelled the basketball team on to victory. Bottom: You're an lslander, you've got Spirit, you know it, let's show it, GO ISLANDERS, GOl! This was the type of spirit expressed by a lively and hoarse group of six songleaders and two yell kings, better known to Maroon 81 White fans as the pep squad. The pep squad was constantly active creating new songs, routines, and yells. Song Queen, Sue Olson, and yell king, Steve Hoover were delegates to the Fifth Annual Yell and Song Conference at Central Washington State College in Ellensburg during July T5-l8. There they learned new techniques, cheers, and the many responsibilities and obligations cheerleaders have to the school and community. Mrs. Loveioy, pep squad adviser, accompanied the group to the KingCo Cheerleaders Conference held at Federal Way on August 25. There they met the pep squads from the other KingCo League schools. Pep squad displayed the school banner in closing Alma Mater. Right: lslander's yell kings, Steve Hoover and Mike Crystal, enlivened MIHS with their untiring zeal. Before most games, joint dinners were held to become further acquainted with the other squads and to improve inter- school relations. The pep squad and Pep Club were almost as one group this year as they worked together on pep assemblies, skits and the new mascot. The mascot, a fierce-looking South Seas Islander, was the rolling figure for the spirited MIHS supporters and led the team to many victories. The yell kings especially enioyed the honor of ringing the Victory Bell, another of Mercer's grow- ing traditions. Said Yell King Mike Crystal, The great school spirit this year was more of a unified effort with the classes cooperating more than ever before, especially the sophomores. The rest of the squad agreed and added that, though it was hard work, it was most enjoyable.
