Fanatics Fans. What are they? Who are they, and whatdo they do? Fan n. (fan) an enthusiastic devotee or follower. A person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal. Spiritleaders weren ' t all that inspired their team to run faster, make the free throw, score a touchdown or never quit when behind. There were also the fans. They went to all the games. Whether it was snowing, raining, or their team was losing, they were there to cheer them on. If tneir team was winning, they smiled, laughed and threw confetti. They went out afterward and celebrated. Tney were proud to say, I go to Carson High. Fans help. Tney get the team jacked when we hear them behind us, said Senior Frank Granier. When the team was losing, the fans were still there. As the other team scored again, or as the star player fouled out, they hurt inside, maybe not as much as the team itself, but they still hurt. Some fans were parents; others were boyfriends and girlfriends, but most were t ' ust spirited students out to see their team e number one.

This was a final move for their hello cheer.

R ockin ' it On sometimes snowless slopes Snow skiing, as the word says, was supposed to be done on snow. With the ski conditions this year, there was serious con- sideration as to whether holding meets indoors on the ski machine at Aspen Sports in Reno would be a good idea. At the outset of the ski season, the ski team found themselves in a bad situation. There was no snow. Senior Julie Rooker said, The snow, or lack of it, caused a lot of pro- blems, but we were able to work our way through it and have a good season. Despite the rough start, both the boys and the girls had ex- cellent seasons. The boys ended the season with a 6-2 record, losing one to Reno and one to Douglas. The boys were led by Seniors Peter Fischer, John Hess, and Chris Freeman and Juniors Jose Arraiz and Heimer Helgason. The girls also had a great season ending up with a 7-1 record, losing only one match to Reno. The top skiers for the girls were Seniors Kristy Grisemer, Julie Rooker, Junior Tracey Grose, and Sophomore Jill Erikson. Junior Liz Willis said, As soon as we started going up ski- ing, it was pretty cool, literally cool! And we really skied well. Two skiers for the ski team were seated number one going into zone. Peter Fischer and Kristy Grisemer who had ex- cellent records during the regular season were the top seated skiers in Northern Nevada. Senior Peter Fischer said, The ski season was great. I think I can attribute some of my success this year to getting my priorities straight. I really took my skiing seriously. byjay Hanses SKI TEAM: Front Row: Larry Groso, Becky Rhea, )ili Erickson, julene Board- man, Malin Ekwall, Kai Funke, Trena Keating, Terry Trease, lulie Rooker Anne Ducoulombie, Mike Faker, Brad Marker Sean Roach, Coach lack Reinhardt.

while at an earlv morning practice, Teresa DiLoreto smiles because the squad finally perfected their cheer. True fans, Sydney Dull, Lori Pelfrey, Trisha Smith, Chris Sharp, Kerri Coay and Carin Caroll cheer on their teams during a pep assembly in November. f heerinMt with the fans as well Although most people think of varsity sports as the only sports, junior varsity athletes, coaches and spiritleaders knew differently. Sophomore Jill Dunagan said, I wish more people would sup- port junior varsity athletics. It ' s hard cheering to empty stands. The junior varsity spiritleaders worked many hard, long hours to become the squad they were. While most students were just getting ready at 7 a.m., the |V spiritleaders were in the gym working toward perfection. There is a lot of responsibil- ity involved and dedication that we have to put into it, said Sophomore Kim Brown. |V spiritleaders were required to wear their uniforms to school on game days to help promote school spirit. In order to buy the uniforms and shoes they need- ed, they had to raise money. Both the varsity and )V ' s sold activity calendars that pictured the twelve best looking senior guys. They also cleaned the trophy case outside the gym. High school cheerleading is more organized than junior high. This is also the best squad I ' ve ever been a part of and worked with. We all get along and are like family, said Teresa DiLoreto. JV Spiritleaders Fans i '
