This group consists of 100 to 150 girls who not only participate in sports, but also those girls who like to be part of the fun by participating and or supporting the group. G.A.A. ' s officers include: Anna Ortega - Pres., Lizeth Delgado - Sec. Treas,, Suzy Martinez - Publicity Manager, and Virginia Gallo - Activity Coordinator. Once a month, for thirty minutes, they lead other members in planning activities for the future. Their activities included dances, outings with other schools, and a possible bike-a-thon. G.A.A. is an active group, supported by the student body. Whether it ' s at an away game or a simple pep-rally at home, the members always give 110%! G.A.A. is one of those groups who won ' t get lost in the shuffle with time. In fact, they just may come out head and shoulders above the rest. 1 Monica ' s explanation creates an amused and confused reaction on some of the club member ' s faces. 2.

Working To Succeed Pep Squad; Top row - left to right: Araceli Urita, Monica Sanchez, Gloria Vasquez. Elizabeth Vasquez, Maggie Almora, Monica Corona. Veronica Ruiz, Toni Garner, Jovito Martinez, Elvia Munoz, Carolina Ronchetta, Roxanne Herrero. The Pep Squad may well be said to be an offshoot of the cheerleaders because it is in joining this club that members acquire the experience necessary to become a cheerleader. The club, having a total of twelve girls, was led by Susan Martinez, who tried her best to counsel and guide the group. The members, along with the cheer- leaders, cheered and danced to several routines at many of the games, hoping to motivate the team to victory. Toni Garner, a member, enthuses, You really have to be a spirited person, because that is what it ' s all about!
