164 The Varsity Cheerleading squad was selected in December, to perform for the basketball season. The team consisted of twelve spirit- filled, enthusiastic girls. The squad was led by senior captains Katy Straine and Teri Prasa. The girls used their cheering talents and school spirit to rouse the Warrior basketball fans and players. Besides cheering this year, they also decorated the players lockers and houses, and con- stantly incited school spirit in the players. The season was successful because of the help of their advisor, Miss Miller. The JV Cheerleaders were made up of twelve spirit-filled sophomore and freshman girls. The squad cheered for the Warriors throughout the basketball season. Leading the squad in enthusiasm and school spirit were captains Maureen Malaney and Jennifer Lackland. This years squad was under the guidance of Mrs. Spencer, and without her help, the success of this season would not have been possible. RIGHT: Captain Katy Straine. BELWO: School spirit at its best.
