Reagah tops HEWS list As always the world experienced its share of good and bad news during the year. Topping the list of newsmakers and events was President Ronald Reagan WhO met with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva and recuperated from serious cancer surgery during the summer. Arroyans were as shocked as anyone about the devastating earth- quakes which hit Mexico City and the tragedy which occured in Columbia when a volcano exploded.

Squad DGl'fOl'lTlS ffl fl3fiOl'l3l CON te lf' 'lt didn't really hit me that we were actually going until we boarded the plane,' said Junior Stacey Medeiros about the Rally Squad's trip to Orlando, Florida and the National Cheerleading Competition. The Northern California Champions were chosen to attend nationals last November, leaving them with a month to perfect a new routine. Prac- tices were long and hard, with the group spending an average of 25 hours a week. Along with the strenuous practice schedule, the squad also had to raise over S1 6,000. 'lt was really hard trying to juggle your time between home- work, practices, and fundraising,' stated Co-head Cheerleader Rochelle Cross. The trip was plagued with injuries, beginning with Julie Lumley's broken armlwhich occurred during practicel. Luckily, the injury occurred early enough so that a routine change was easy. 'I was sad,' said Becerra. 'It was my last year. we were competing nationally, and I got hurtl' Aftehfibh Awaiting their turn to perform, the Squad stands nervously at attention.

'I was sure the Whole sta- diucgn could hear my heart beat,' she sai . The heat was on as the squad filed onto the floor. Seconds seemed like hours as they awaited the music to begin. Hours of dedication, accompanied by injuries, pain, and tears were over within two and one-half minutes. What the squad had been striving for was over. Three stunts weren't com- pleted, partly because of nerves, but also because of injuries. 'I was excited because I had a feeling of accomplishment,' said Head Song- girl Darlene Sasaki. The feelings, though, weren't the same between all squad members. 'I kept saying to myself, 'all that hard work and we came so close. said Cros With a few d3yS Still left of their trip, the group decided to make the best of it. They attended Epcot Center and Dlsneyworld on New Year's Eve and arrived home the next day. Parents and friends eagerly awaited their arrival, anxious to hear of the trip. Stated Junior Jill Cravalho who contracted chickenpox on the plane, 'lt felt good to be home. The pressure was off us, eventhough we didn't do as well as we expected' Dil'eCtOl' of ACtiVitieS Jack Hunt said ofthe excursion, 'Despite everything that happened, I would do it all over again.'
