n DDI GFIRE TO DR GO ' BITE ew people showed as much spirit and enthusiasm as our supportive cheerleaders. Their support and involvement began at cheerleading camp at U.S.F. over the summer where they were taught new cheers by professionals. Their spirit continued into the school year where they led the pep assemblies, Dragon's Fire, and all sports events. As head cheerleader Nancy Diaz put it, We affect school spirit in a positive manner because we promote it! Nancy Diaz shares the position of head cheerleader with senior Lori Arduengo. In January the cheerleaders participated in Super Bowl festivities in Ybor City. They were one of two squads chosen from Hillsborough County. February meant the annual Gasparilla Parade and the three mile march down Bayshore. Participating in all of these activities combined with the tremendous amount of spirit that the cheerleaders exhibited filled the year with hard work and excitement.
