Enthusiasm Inspired Student Involvement Apache Joe, Greg Yerkes, voiced his prophesies for the upcoming athletic events during each pep assem- bly. Greg led the Varsity Football Team onto the field and assisted in the organizing of the various pep activities. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of pep, organiza- tion, was handled by Pep Commissioner, Nancy Scherer. Nancy's duties included leading the Pep Commission, organizing button sales and decorating, and overseeing the planning of pep assemblies and rallies, as well as promoting spirit and enthusiasm throughout the school. Although small and sometimes unenthusiastic crowds came to the Junior Varsity games, the J.V. Cheerleaders kept their own spirits high for the team. J ORGANIZATIONS - 21

Band and Auxiliaries Displayed Pride and Talent The Flag Girls, under the leadership of Judy Kay lheadl, added color and flash as they per- formed throughout the year at various band functions and pep activities. The girls began practicing last summer and attended a flagjcamp at U.C. Santa Cruz. During their stay, they won three competition trophies. A band auxiliary, the flag girls marched behind the band during parades as added showmanship and performed during football season in pre-games and half- times. Routines were also performed at pep assemblies and rallies, being made in maiority by Barbara Pearsall. Second semester, the group competed at several Flag Competitions, the most important held at Arroyo High School in March. Under the disciplined eye of Band Director, Mr. Ron Hoar and Drum Major, Steve Hanks, the Apache Marching Band once again achieved a victorious marching season. On October 28, the Apaches received Sweep- stakes at the Chino Band Review in their first showing of the year. Five consecutive sweep- stakes trophies at the Santa Monica El Primero Band Review allowed the group to march as Honor Band in this year's parade, not competing for an award. The band received First Place at the Hawthorne Band Review, and on November ll, they hosted the West Arcadia Band Review. The parade season terminated after the 95.9 Sweepstakes victory at the All-Western Band. in Long Beach, again labeling Arcadia as the num- ber one band in the state. ,I,.:'!kl
