IIIC YCSUILS Ui LVYUULS Ldllitf dlltj Ultz' new 1980-1981 pep-squad was chosen, Practices began and the days counted down until camp. Gathering in Sacramento, the girls found their abilities put to test. As they learned and worked, the four days seemed to Hy by as the end of camp came. But the pep- squad returned home with more than memories. The varsity cheerleaders were awarded a superior trophy and all the superior ribbons possible. The junior varsity cheerleaders were also given high rating ribbons. The pom pom squad received excellent and superior ribbons. The mascots were awarded a spirit certihcate along with high rating ribbons. The pom pom and cheerleading squads together received the spirit stick to take home. School began and the Panther football season started. Motivating the crowd under the new lights, the spirit released by the crowds sent the team off to a winning season, As the football season ended, the pep-squad brought forth more spirit, this time t.o cheer on the Panther basketball team, The Rio Vista tournament opened the season and the pep-squad faithfully supported the Panthers to a third place standing. The squad returned with the spirit trophy awarded to only one group out of eight other schools. The league games started, and rooting for both the girls and boys teams, the pep-squad led the Panther packs to another winning season. Spring came and new sports began. The pep-squads' days were hlled attending and supporting baseball, track, swimming, and girls' softball teams. The enthusiasm continued, and the school year came to an end, but the spirit created by this year's pep-squad would carry on for the years to follow. The year had been filled with frustrations, worries, the thrills of winning, and the disappointments of losing. The long, hard practices of creating and learning paid off each time the school gathered at the rallies and games and the school united with spirit. The responsability and leadership, sometimes unappreciated, but through all the tolerance and exasperation, the pep- squad had fun and good times together that will always be remembered. 40-Pep Squad X If f Ng- 8 pf , BH PEP CLUB

The 1981 Pep Club started out with a big cheer. Although the club was not organized until December, the pep club was a big help in assisting the pep squad at all of the basketball games. There were many girls who came to the games to cheer for the Mighty Panthers, Spirit was the key word to making the club a sucess. Cheering. making posters and just enjoying themselves supported the Student Body tremendously. ln order to become a member of the Pep Club, students had to maintain a 2.00 grade average, and have a positive attitude. Here are two of their favorite cheers: Panthers won't stop Won't stop till we get enough Hey! Raise that score Blue-Gold We want more Panthers show your stuff Cause enough is enough get tough!! There's nothing like it when we unite we'll put it together we'll ignite Getting it together, Hey! . . . Can't you see? Unity leads to a VICTORY!!! 42'Pep Club BH PEP CLUB .Z Vw-'HJ .
