By painting the sports box, and selling painter caps, hats, buttons, and shirts they virtually painted the school red and white. Their enthusiasm encouraged active support of our school's athletic system. Front: Janine Radomski - President. Second Row: Sue Gay, Angela Giordano.

Squad consists of dedicated students. In order to keep up with a hectic schedule the students were willing to work harder than any group in Berner. Too often this group was taken for granted by those who thought that televisions and movie projectors moved themselves. Mr. Ieskie trained the squad well. It consists of responsible and efficient students who have assisted the school operation tremendously.
