N Milf K.. ., BEND AND STRETCH. Sheerrae Adams, Teri Mizak and Patty Morelli are doing movements to the Eye of the Tiger , at the first pep rally of the year. SPIRIT TEACHER. Little Palmeri takes a lesson from Senior Amy Somera. She liked to cheer at the home football games. Building school spirit is the num- ber one job of the cheerleading squad. Much of the work necessary to complete this job takes place off the field or court, and here at Bedford, it sometimes seems like a losing battle. According to Teri Mizak, captain of the Varsity Football cheerleading squad, More students need to be in- volved as a total school rather than individual classes. With Bedford's losing tradition in basketball and football, Iunior Denise Dick added, Teachers should become more in- volved in order to help the student body unite as a whole. More social activities, before, during, and after the games was another suggestion to help build student unity. When the cheerleaders are not out on the court cheering, or on the field shouting their lungs out, they're usually found in the halls practicing cheers, hanging signs, or decorating lockers. Unfortunately, their efforts are sometimes defeated by the Bumsteers of Bedford who tear down or deface the signs. Giving HII They've Got i Cheerleaders 29
