There will always be cheerleaders Varsity Cheers were a group of dedicated and spirited young ladies. Led by Head Kim Hayes and Co-Head Cindy Hammond, they not only cheered at the games, but they were also involved in competitions. The squad placed first in the annual Inland Center competition against San Bernardino and Cajon High Schools. They were also in- volved in competitions sponsored by Hubbard and the United Spirit Association. They attended the Pepperdine USA camp of champs over the summer. The other members of the squad included Kelly Aquino, Cindy Sanders, Kim Miller, Rhonda Sims, and Valerie Sainz. The closure of Pacific will add new members to the squad. Next year there is going to be much competition, said Kelly Aquino, but it will be fun. Eight highly talented girls made up the Varsity Poms squad. They were headed by junior Kathi Wood and junior Amy Thayer was co-head. Varsity had a very exciting year. Aside from cheering at the Spartan athletic activities, they also went to camp. They attended the USA Camp of Champs at Pepperdine University in Malibu. They learned dance routines, chants, and game action cheers. They placed first in camp competitions. Co-head cheerleader Amy Thayer commented, Camp is very demanding, but provides lots of good ideas and experience for the upcoming year. The girls on varsity poms participated in competitions as well as camps. They competed in Arroyo State Com- petitions and placed first. They won the sweepstakes trophy and they won the honored spirit stick twice. Crystal Silas, Class of ' 85 Si M t Top: Cheering from the stands are the varsity cheerleaders.

Practice leads to awards Did you ever ask yourself what those freshmen and junior varsity cheerleaders did besides cheer and raise school spirit at basketball, football, and water polo games? First, the cheerleaders attended a camp at Pepperdine University in Malibu. Freshmen cheers received a ribbon for a home cheer, a cheer that was made up at San G and performed at Pepperdine, and JV cheers received two outstandings and one excellent ribbon for their home cheer. JV cheerleader Debi Mitchell said, It was a good experience, but a lot of work and responsibility. They also competed and cheered at the Huntington Beach Festival on January 21, where the freshman cheers received a trophy for second place out of 17, and the JV cheers received a trophy for fifth place out of 23. Head freshman cheerleader Kel- ly Cooper commented, It was fun. We got to go to different places and it was fun to meet all the cheerleaders, football and basketball players. Freshman cheerleader Michelle Vas- quez said, It was a successful year thanks to Ms. Carman who was very helpful in organizing us at the beginning of the year. The 1982-83 San Gorgonio varsity flags were busy competing in competitions throughout Southern California. Just to name a few, the varsity flags went to Hun- tington Beach High School in January, where they placed first out of fourteen in flag competition, and to Hubbard ' s Cheerleading Camp where they won a trophy for first place in spirit. When it came to practicing for competi- tions, the girls practiced four or five days a week for two hours each day. When not in competition, the girls maintained their skills by practicing at least two to three days a week. Most of the girls said they had a suc- cessful and exciting year. Member Lori Rynn said, This year has been the best year so far. We really worked hard and earned a good reputation not only in San Bernardino, but at other high schools as well. Ms. Carman was the varsity flags ad- viser. The captain of the flags was Margie Robles. The co-captain was Lori Rynn.
