GIRLS spIRItT fall athletics Janis Liebhart and Janice Coffman, head yell-leader and head pom-pon girl respectively, along with their spirited assistants, brought variety and enjoyment to the many attendants of the noon rallies this fall. Modesto was the site of a pom-pon competition where the seven girls placed high among the 150 squads entered. Both the pom-pon girls and yell- leaders competed at a clinic held at Chabot College, where Janis Liebhart was voted most spirited yell-leader. Added attraction at football games were Alice and Tessie Amaya, yell- leader and pom-pon girl mascots. To bring out the holiday cheer, the girls held a Halloween rally wearing monster masks. Also, there was a Christmas rally which decked the halls with the Christmas spirit. Cupcakes were sold to help pay for the girls uniforms. Helping to promote spirit at the football games are Alice and Tessie Amaya. Fall pom-pon girls for 1969 are from left to right: Teresa Fernandez, Monica Wurtz, Laurie Isaac, Janice Coffman, head, Gwen McDermott, Jody Poor and Linda Mundy.

male majority Leads For the first time in nine years, a boy, in the person of Harry Paslay, fulfilled the duties of Head Yell Leader in the spring. Completing the male majority were assistant cheerleaders Steve DeLuchi and Brian Campbell. Although it has been a few years since any boys have participated in any facet of cheerleading, traditions are made to be broken, and the breaking of this tradition proved to be a delightful switch. Adding a bit of femininity to the line were Debbie Amaya and Bobbie Friley, assisted at times by Mimi Vraciu. These six, aided by the spring pom-pon girls did their best to encourage and arouse spirit for spring basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track events. Because of the bi-sexuality of his line, Yell Leader Paslay was able to introduce to AHS sports fans a variety of new yells and routines, which were performed at spring sports matches and at noon rallies. The uniforms chosen by the spirit- raisers consisted of white pants, T- shirts, white block sweaters and saddle shoes for the boys, and white culottes and block sweaters for the girls. JoAnn Amaya served as head pom- pon girl, and was assisted by Cheryl Blevins, Debbie Diohep, Diane Fertado, Pam Eisenhauer, Patty Rose, Sue Head pom-pom girl Joann Amaya. Schweitzer, and alternate Gail Hynes. Steve Deluchi, Debra Amaya, Head Yell Leader Uniforms for the girls were gold waisted dresses with white bibs and collars. | Patty Rose Cheryl Blevins Pam Eisenha uer
