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-

K by justin Poplin and Mike Anable s. Hill, a former free lance ar- tist, has taught art for ten years, four and one half of those at Blue Ridge. She chose the teaching profession because she felt that in giving her knowledge to the students, she also gained from their questions. She felt that the students could learn to appreciate different cultures through art. The basic understan- ding of art can give students a View of the times, according to Ms. Hill. The art classes were divided into three different levelsg introduction, intermediate, and advanced art. In the introduction class the students learned different design elements and began working with different media. In the intermediate classes the students decided which media they liked and enjoyed a certain amount of freedom in their choice of art. The advanced art students studied art independently. Three Blue Ridge art students have pursued a career in art. The most notable was Michelle Hughes who studies art at U. of A. Before coming to Lakeside, Ms. Hill taught in Buffalo, New York. She traveled around the United States and was a substitute teacher when possible. She plans to continue teaching art at Blue Ridge and to upgrade the art department. She also is extending her art career by il- lustrating children's books. Page 72. 1. Dennis Murray, john Liston, and Dave Borrego paint during 3rd hour introduc- tory art. 2.
