Crank it up, let it start, we've got cheerleading in our heart! Being a cheerleader has allowed me to support and appreciate my fel- low athletes and school, make some extra-special friends, and just be really crazy! replied Krista Kar- cher quickly, when asked what cheerleading has meant to her. Cheering was a definite part of athletics at Stritch. Through hours of practice, countless fundraisers, and endless decorating, the cheer- leaders managed to make it to every game, snow, rain, or shine. The var- sity squad consisted of five seniors, four of them veterans of four years, and one junior. By the time their cheerleading year came to a close, each of them, along with moderator Ms. Carol Schwartz, were close friends. 82, X fbfbb cheerleaders 'QNX Top: New uniforms were a hit for the cheerleaders during season as the varsity squad CStaycee Ellis, Kay Wlodarz, Jackie Krista Karcher, Shelly Kornowa, and Sandy Lynnb proudly show them Left: Senior Sandy Lynn made her cheerleading debut on September 1 . : ' 3, ' l98l at the stadium Above Mountmaking took hours of pr reach perfection.

In new uniforms, wrestling cheerleaders start early for a season of decorating, stat boards, pep rallies, and breakfast The season began early for the Wrest- ling cheerleaders and moderator Miss Mona Leos. The varsity squad was picked in May and they went right to work having garage sales, bake sales, and car washes. In J uly, the cheerleaders attended a clinic, learning a lot of new ideas from it. In August, the squad purchased new sweaters a.nd jackets and made their own skirts. In November, the JV squad was picked a.nd the season was on the Way. Signs were painted, pep rallies were planned, morning announcements were made, and individual locker signs were drawn. Notes of encouragement and gifts of the week were other ways to lift the wrestlers' spirits. As a special sur- prise, the cheerleaders decorated the guys' bedrooms before the important OCC tournament. At the end of the season, the Wres- tling Boosters sponsored a Pancake Breakfast. There was also a Biddy Wrestling tournament. The cheerlead- ers took part in both events and helped raise money to put on a perfect banquet. 1 ffiig??Mj5:w- 4' 1 , SI The jackets and headgear may belong to the wrestlers, but it's really the cheerleaders trying an unusual way to psych up the team, Right: Locker signs are a regular morale booster and a visible sign that the cheerleaders, like 'llammi lntagliata pictured here, are doing their job. 84 X wrestling cheerleaders T l ' 1 JUNIOR VARSITY.
