Cheers give secret support by Laura Larson eing on a Blue Ridge pep squad requires 1012 dedica- tion. From the beginning, they work hard for their teams. They start off in the summer by attending various camps, and finish in the spr- ing with competitions against other squads around Arizona. This year secret pommies, cheers, and mat-maids were hot. They pro- vided locker signs and surprises for individual team members throughout the season. Surprises ranged from packs of gum, to cards, to giant sugar cookies. Each was received with mixed reactions and in the end when players found out who had provided them with these things, reactions were equally surprising. lt's not all fun and games though, it takes many hours of practice to perfect the few minutes spent per- forming. Besides daily practices, many times there are late night or morning practices and extra hours spent decorating halls and making posters. As one girl put it, lt takes a lot of work, but it's worth it. ,,, kb, .r .... s e-1 f gg ,AQTL f'- S 'Q SV i . , usa, QA ie,rN ,K RQ? 3' ti li A it 5 if gtfftfff ' 5U ffg'f' ?'j,.a::.. , .- if g -1.3 Lg vi M.,-,A 2 3 52 PEP SQUADS sq-

t Track team goes to State, new records set by Dee Dee Donaldson t State, size was no matter to the girls' track team. They worked hard and ac- complished a lot. Their hard work paid off by placing them 6th in the team standings. The team scored twenty-four points with only five girls. Dee Dee Moreland's effort helped out the team's score by taking a third in discus and a fourth in the shot put. The relay team of Amy Freemon, Greta Naranjo, Beth Williams, and Cheryl Strandquist placed fourth in the 400 meter relay and fifth in the 1600 meter relay. Beth Williams took second in the 400 meter dash. The boys' team placed an amazing third at State. They competed against AAA, AA and A teams. Many of the boys set new school records and some even set new State records. Eddie Roten set two new school records. He turned a time of 41.01 in the intermediate hurdles and cleared 6'4 in the high jump. Buz Matteson took fourth at State in the 400 meter dash, but set a new school record. Tom Williams also set a record in the 800 meter run and Ian Iackson in the 1600 meter run. Tony Sutton still holds the school record in the 3200 meter run. Coach Freemon said, This was the best overall track team I've had in twelve years. I've had teams place high in State meets but none were better than this one. I have a deep feeling of respect for them and I salute them! i ifsll f .K gm, img .1 . is t , A ls. C 63 gi y lectin 'ff A till? W' 1 ?
