Cheer clinic On October 11, the varsity spiritleaders held a cheer clinic for first through sixth grade children. The cost was $15 per per- son and was a fund raiser to help the spiritleaders pay for their uniforms. Approximately 150 aspiring cheerleaders attended, among them two boys. The spiritleaders divided the children into three groups where they taught them a cheer and a song routine. After a day spent rehearsing, the par- ticipants performed their routines for their parents. ADVISER: TerriMcNutf CO-CAPTAINS: Wendy Weintz, Holly Kauffmann 126 Sfionti it

w innin it in the long run During the season, the girls ' t ross countrv team played se- cond tiddle to Reed. That all I hanged at state. There they deteated Reed and emerged slate champions. Top five finishers were Cindy Rockwood, Jessica Dach, Signe Hancock, Sarah Ward and MarissaDe La Torre. Tom Sullivan took over as head coach for the girls, lunior Signe Hancock said, Coach Sullivan did a really good |ob tilling in for Coach Frank. I think might have quit if it weren ' t for him. For many years the cross country team looked to the guidance of lim Frank. This season Coach Frank was unable to coach because of cane er. Senior Cindy Rockwood said, It was a learning experience not having Mr. Frank there. Before he left, he told us not to let it bother us and to keep on running. So we ran for him! Dave Amster coached the boys team, and they set their signts on second in state. After a third place finish at zone, their hopes for a second place state finish were dashed when the officials ruled that three Carson runners . simultaneously jumped the guri.

s houtin it to build school spirit We ' ve got spirit! N ' es, we do! The varsity spiritleaders certainly showed they had a lot ot spirit. Whether it was cheering in short skirts while freezing temperatures swept the football field or in hot sweaters in the stuffy gym during basketball season, the spiritleaders were al ways ready and willing to bulla the crowd ' s spirit and cheer their teams on. While most students were rolling out of bed at 7 am, the spiritleaders were already busy at work, rehearsing their cheers in the gym. Adviser Mrs. McNutt kept them on a tight schedule. If they received three tardies, they were not allowed to cheer for the next game. During the summer, while most students were soaking up the sun ' s hot rays on the sandy beaches of Lake Tahoe, the var- sity spiritleaders were at camp in San Diego during the month of August. They learned new song routines, stunts and cheers to improve their cheering abili- ty. They brought some ot these new cheers to CHS. Varsity spiritleaders Wendy Weintz, Shell McKenzie, Shannon Moreland and Alyssa Davis with the help of the Senator Man try to build the crowd ' s spirit by leading a cheer at a home football game. In the cold of the night, Theresa David and Trena Keating share a friendly hug lo keep warm during the homecoming game against Wooster. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: Front Row: Teresa David, Traci Fogliani.
