We are Famil 'lt's the people and the feeling of doing it that l'lI miss' -.lan Decker With a hearty yell and a sky-bound leap, a Charger cheerleader gives one-hundred per cent of her energy to her team, now storming in a swarm across a marshy field. 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.

Peyton Ford, right, stretches her spirit and herself to the limit. As part of the Freshman Spirit Team, patience and time made the complex cheers of girls like Peyton look easy to perform.

8-3 Uri Look Who's Back . .we had to prove to the administration and student body that we were just as good as the last drill team at Agoura High.-Shizue Kira Right face, left face, right face ... Where were these commands coming from? Could it be the Drill Team? There hasn't been a drill team since 1980. What was it doing on our campus this past year? Yes, that's right. The drill team was back better than ever. Consisting of thirty-four girls, the drill team added a lot to the Agoura High campus. The drill team's purpose is to promote school s irit and to provide opportunities for more young laclles to take an active part in Agoura High School team activities, said lonelle Taylor, advisor. This spirited group of freshman through seniors per- formed as one unit. The girls displayed this one-unit quality at pep rallies, football and basketball games, and in competitions such as field shows, parades, and dance competitions. This year as a special treat the drill team went to Hawaii to perform in the Hula Bowl. Not only did they have a fantastic time in Hawaii, but they par- ticipated in an event that they will remember forever. They improved with ever performance. In just their third competition, the girls placed third among some very competitive schools at Savannah High School. Be- ing a first-year drill team, said Alison Bates, l think we are doing great. They learned quite a lot this year from their teacher Marian Karbo, student teacher Mrs. Donna Whitelaw, and choreographer Laura Polani, but most of all, the girls learned from each other. Thanks to the hardwork, dedication and perseverance of Mrs. Vicki Koch, coor- dinator, and Mrs. lonelle Taylor, a drill team marched again at Agoura. -Melanie Carter ll Team T04 perkovich Some members of the drill team show their spirit before their per- formance.
