Falcons, SPIRIT! This oft-heard yell of Aviation ' s viva- cious Pep Club illustrates their goal: to generate school spirit. Through the help of sponsor Mrs. Merrill-Lee VVyatt and their own determination they pioneered new formations, routines, and tech- niques to help them in promoting that spirit. . nothcr innovation was the return of the .school mascot, Freida the Falcon (alias Chris Raybon), whose brightly colored costume added much to games and rallies. Song and yell leaders attended a summer camp in Redlands, where they learned many of their new skills. They spent one week working out with other Pep Club members from all over California. Songs, and even the Flag twirlers. in the tradition of the old West dance hall girl, have performed together and displayed high kicks and splits. The cheer leaders have been fantastic, said Mrs. Wy- att. This is evidenced by the fact that they have incorporated acrobatics into their many new yells. We did somersaults, hand stands, and even cart- wheels. said Pep Club Chairman, Sheri Van Bramer. ... 4, 3, 2, 1-Squish em! This popular new yell performed by the cheer leaders added a note of suspense to the weekly perform- ance. ud m
