Past Putrid Pep Paucity Pulverized by Basted with blue make-up and rice, Billy Stevens com- petes for the title of Mr. Spir- it. Even his bizarre costume couldn ' t clinch the title. By Jeff Randall The advent ot torty-two cheer- headed by Keri Uchytil and Bar- leaders may have seemed like the downfall of a sacred institution, the traditional eighteen cheer- leaders. But there were benefits. Now we can cover all the sports, from girls tennis to varsity football. Last year we received a lot of flak about not enough cheerleaders at the lesser attend- ed sports, stated head yell lead er, Barbara Dunn. It was obvious last year that there was a decline in spint. With an increase in cheerleaders, we can increase enthusiasm through- out the student body, added song leader Genalyn Talevera. The twenty-five varsity cheer- ! iders were broken down into tou: ); II ' .v yell squads bara Dunn and two song squads led by Ranae Randels and Kelly Kmdt. If the varsity squad couldn ' t make the event, the junior varsity would cover it. The thirteen J.V. ' s were broken down into two squads headed by Trayce Thomas and Caryl Martian. Ms. Julia Theilman commented on her decision to have forty-two cheerleaders. It was the best thing I have ever done. Thirty-eight cheerleaders, four mascots, and one pep commis- sioner weren ' t all that bad. After all they did a job supporting athle- tic events, and that ' s what cheer- leading is all about. Varsity cheer leaders Jode Els- berry, Deanna Holte, Barbara Dunn, Nyla New- man, Leah Car- penter, Sherry Seabold, Gina Mater, Robin Iwa- saki, Laura Giates, Kathleen Naruse, and Jill Siegel complete their introduc- tory routine at a I pep eissembly. While Trayce Thomas and An- gie Molinari wait | to talte the stage,
