As victory comes in the West playoff game, sen- iors Michele Huber, Chris Crouch and Angie Bor- mann celebrate. inspired by Victory With new cheers and a new coach, the fall cheerleaders, were better than ever, said sen- ior Sue Timmerman. The entire varsity squad along with two soph- omores attended the University of Iowa Sports School for cheerlead- ing. This, coupled with practice over the summer gave them a great start on the year. During camp, they learned new tech- niques that were helpful in building pyramids along with a variety of new cheers. I will never forget camp, especially running stairs at 1 a.m., commented senior Peggy Chupka. Under the new guidance of Mrs. Lynn Keck, squads practiced ev- ery morning in the summer and mornings after school started. Freshman tryouts were held later. It was a lot of work at first be- cause we tried out on Monday and had a game on Thursday, ex- plained freshman Shelley Knittel. School spirit was led by cheer- leaders, not only at games, but also at school. During the football season, their enthusiasm was “This was the most ex- citing season I’ve ever cheered for. Our whole squad really had a great time together!” Varsity captain, Michele Huber ’87 shown throughout the school by colorful banners.

EMOTIONS IN MOTION Sports brought out the true feelings inside all of us — the athletes, coaches and fans. Fan ” is just short for fanatics, an apt descrip- tion of seniors Kurt Paulson and Joe McCaughey. The togas and makeup were in honor of the girls' basketball tournament game against North Scott. We not only try to get the fans involved,” ex- plained senior cheerleading captain Michelle Huber, we try to let the team members know that we're behind them.” Victory is so sweet, especially after seven years without one.
