This scenario was seen con- stantly throughout the 1987-88 season for both the junior Varsity and Freshman Squads. The jV and Freshman teams alike practiced from sixth period to 4:00 p.m. on a daily basis. jan Decker of the Freshman team added that people would bring new cheers that the team would practice and memorize Everybody should go out for the Spirit Team if they like to yell, be in front of crowds, and have a good time. Obviously, their main concern during the many activities they en- livened was to generate emotion, because if the crowd is enthusiastic, it helps us to cheer by giv- ing us support to cheer for the team, explained Tiffany johnson of the junior Varsity Squad. Through an admirable pride in their school and its athletic teams, the Spirit Teams made the crowd feel as close to Agoura High School as the girls felt to one another. -Bob Rich Above, the 1987 junior Varsi- ty Spirit Team: Top, clock- wise from left: Carla Toutz, Wyler Collo, jennifer Mor- ton, Malia Lasley.
