Girls' State brit Wiegers, along with Sally Carrillo and Michelle DesRosier, were selected by the faculty and administrators to represent our school in the statewide convention, Arizona Girls' State. Girls' State was a week long conference where students interested in government lived and acted as actual government figures. At this mythical government held at the University of Arizona, Chris campaigned and made herself known among the other 280 students from Arizona by asking a lot of questions when she was in a group and directing the choir group. Chris explained how difficult it was to print literature for her campaign and added that face-to-face was her best way to be recognized. Her untiring efforts gained her the position of the presiding office of Governor of the State. She was the first governor from a Tucson high school in five years. Boys' State llen Addleman, Eric Toranzo, Richard Ellis, and Matt Plaixted were recommended by their teachers to go to Northern Arizona University, where the annual Arizona Boys' State took place. At the convention, sponsored by the American Legion, students were given an idea of how a government was run. By delivering speeches, campaigning, and talking to other boys involved in this mock government, they made a name for themselves. You had to be very open and able to talk to people without being shy! smiled Allen. Though he was not elected to the city council posi- tion. he continued to submit articles and work on the newspaper which was being published by the students. Allen was rewarded with a trophy that he won for the best editorial and feature writer on the newspaper. From his experience at NAU, he added, It's helped me to relate with people at Santa Rita. asketball uring the summer of 1982, Paula Pyers, was chosen for the All-American Girls Basket- ball Team.

LJ' Q . I It I E I X. e.:-.,.a.t A R' Journalism eniors Monica Rangel and Lissa Monge at- tended a journalism workshop in june of 1982. This workshop was held on the University of Arizona campus. They were two of many students from Tucson and surrounding areas. Participants attending this two week long workshop learned and perfected numerous writing skills. They assisted in the developing and publishing the newspaper which represented their work from this workshop. This culminating activity was very educational to both of these students. They were paid a salary as if they were an actual reporter of a major newspaper. In the two weeks that Monica and Lissa attended the workshop, they heard from guest speakers from the Tucson Citizen and the Arizona Daily Star, and toured the Tucson Newspapers Incorporated building. Cheerleaders ast summer, Leslie Smith, Kelli Williamson, Margie Preble, Debbie Connolly, and Tina Kirxlein, attended the Rocky Mountain Cheerleading Camp at Grand Canyon College in Phoenix, as representatives of the Santa Rita cheerleading squad. During the four days that the cheerleaders participated, they won the super spirit awards which were based on attitude and spirit. They received blue and green ribbons for superior rating on their cheers and chants. For overall enthusiasm, spirit, and skill they won the Camp Champ Trophy, and regained possession of the firestick. During the week, they learned new cheers and practiced their old ones. The cheerleaders had a lot of fun, but they also ac- complished unity among themselves, according to Margie Preble. I became much closer to the other cheers and we all learned more about each other after going to camp. aseball 1982 ast season, Five Santa Rita Boys' Varsity BaseballTeam players played on the Tuc- son team.
