Working during the summer, fall, and winter seasons, the pep squad put in more hours than most varsity teams at Sahuaro. The pep squad, whose pur- pose was to promote spirit at Sahuaro, helped inform the student body of games by wearing Friday uniforms. Three pep assemblies were held throughout the year to recognize Sa- huaro's interscholastic teams, to intro- duce new cheers, and to help generate school spirit. The pom pon girls, in connection with the band, performed pre-game and halftime shows during the football sea- son. Competing along with the marching Cougars at the annual U. of A. Band Day, the Pom Pon Girls received the first superior rating in the squad's history. They also had the task of presenting routines at home basketball games. A total of ten were created and prac- ticedduringtheseason. ORGANIZATIONS 161

The J.V. cheerleaders received less recognition although they worked as long as the rest of the squad. They were rewarded with winning teams. Attending practices during the football season, the mike boys had the job of learning all the cheers used during the games and of runningthe mikes. ORGANIZATIONS 163
