Camps, competitions, and a lot of practice are only some of the activities which the cheer and drill squads get to participate in. They do these things with all of their spirit. Here to cheer The are the girls that ralh the troops, at games, pep rallies, and other such events they are the cheer and drill teams. Even though the make it all seem easy and flowing, it takes a lot of work to get all of the participants coordinated, and in synch with each other. It ' s really a lot of fun being in one of the squads, but it does take a lot of ;time to learn the various routines that we do. We practice all week, during sixth and sometimes after school, it does take a lot of hard work, but it ' s worth it. said ninth grader Cheryl Markenson. As a team a lot of the cheer and drill squads help each oth- er. They support their fellow teammates. They support the teams also, they follow both Ju- nior Varsity, and Varsity teams, on the road and at home, to keep their spirits up. All of their hard work and practice does not go unreward- ed either. They have workshops during the summer at various college campuses, where they can learn new routines and meet other cheer and drill team members from all over the state, and during the year they participate in several competi- tions against different schools. Being in the Junior Varsity drill team is a great experience for me. It ' s true that we do prac- tice a lot, but it is worth it. We not only prepare to cheer on the home team, but we also get to compete at various tourna- ments against teams from all over. said Pilar Jackson tenth grader. It feels great to be a Song- leader, because we get people into the game, into the cheers, and into just being there, we cause an electricity between people. Jumping, yelling, screaming, anything we can do to get the people into the game makes me feel great, said elev- enth grader Teresa Nunes.

O R G A NT Z A T I O O S E The Yearbook and Journalism staffs do a lot of work to make our school a better and more informed place. This work is greatly appreciated by all of the students. write, right? The Newspaper and the Yearbook are the only two ma- jor publications in the school. The Newspaper and Yearbook staffs work very hard to pro- duce an interesting part of school life. This work pays off when these publications are read by the students. ■ Being a major publication is a very important thing, but even more important, we are the source for the students of Sher- man Oaks CES. We bring them information that they may not otherwise receive, said Karen Lee, Journalism. Pressure is another big part of being on the Yearbook or Journalism staff. Deadlines take many hours and a lot of work to complete. Deadlines are a busy time for everyone, but when the final product is shown, it is worth it. I feel very proud of the fact that 1 am part of this wonderful publication. 1 plan to join the Yearbook Staff again because the pressure of meeting a dead- line is tremendous and in a cer- tain way 1 thrive on that, said Steve Bao, Excalibur Yearbook Staff. The newspaper is a monthly publication to inform the stu- dents of what is going on in the school. Students find that this is very helpful and that it is a good way to have the information known. 1 think that the newspaper is very informative. I feel that it should be published more often. I especially like the articles that give the students opinions, said Christine Seino, ninth grade. The Yearbook and Newspa- per Staffs are also in many com- petitions. They have ranked very highly in the competitions. They are very proud of their ac- complishments and hope to do well in them again this year. Many believe that the year- book just magically appears at the end of the year. The simple truth is that the yearbook staff works very hard to create it, said Loyd Calomay, Yearbook Editor. By Amy Goldring Headache — Loyd Calomay lakes a short break after a very full day of working on layout designs, writing copy, and talks from experts. He is thinking about what he wants to do the next day and how he ' s done. Copy checking — Mrs. Honda helps and answers all questions that can be answered. Here Loyd Calomay goes over copy with Mrs. Honda. She gives all of the corrections and then the story is ready to be typed and sent into the yearbook company to be printed and put into the yearbook for reading. Publications r Organizations JJ7
