o Brighten SteVenson's Road to Victory Whether out on the tracks of the football field or inside at a basketball game, the varsity cheer- leaders were a source of inspiration to the student body. The squad generated a peppy spirit that was extremely contagious. Each year brings both new and old faces to the squad. After spring try outs, the girls settled down to serious practice which continued on into the summer. Besides leading the cheers at games, the squad developed new cheers, an essential part of keeping the spirit alive at Stevenson. 3 A M .J w1 't ' iit'to s f 'o!!

Prove Invincible Fire up for a victory! And fired up they were, not just the Junior Varsity teams, but their cheerleaders as well. No matter whether the game was football or basketball, the weather cold or the gym hot, the Junior Varsity cheerleaders were always there to cheer their team on. Even the flu bug couldn't stop the squad from showing up. When seven of the eight members of the squad were recovering from the bug's bite, Kathi King showed up at the Robichaud game alone to lead what few healthy fans were left. But cheering in front of crowds was a difficult job, requiring many hours of hard work. Yet the satisfaction of a job well done and a win- ning team made it all worth while.
