OVW Working the concession stands during football games is just one of the many ways clubs earn money for projects. Luis Flores, president of the Mexican American Club, makes popcorn for hungry football fans. Sean McHaney, French club treasurer, enjoyed the french dinner at the end of the year. Club add culture to clzool Viva France This is the motto used by the French Club members. The French Club helps its members get a better understand- ing of France. This is a very exciting club and a credit to the French culture. said member Fred Straaps. The reason the club was started was to give its members a feeling for its culture. The more you know about one culture the more you learn about your own, said member Sean McHaney. The group has many sales throughout the year. They sell everything from candy to crepes. To be a part of French Club all you have to do is attend meetings and be a part of the activi- ties. Denise Draper said, It was an exper- ience of a lifetime to be a part of the French Club. The Amerind Club helps students gain an understanding of their natural culture. I think that most Indian students are not aware of the fun and understanding that can come from such a group like Amer- ind,', said member Anthony Thomas. The club was started to promote culture sensi- tivity on campus. You do not need to have an Indian background to be in the group, all you need is to have an interest in the cul- ture. The Mexican American Club is here to help the Mexican students feel more secure about their culture. President Luis Flores said, The Mexican American Club has helped me get involved in the school and the community. 25

'rsity Cheer performs a rountine at a home varsity basketball game against Apache Junction Prospectors Cheers raise .A , 9 n xring first and second periods. Cheer members work hard so they can show off at home games. A good S nt irsity Cheer Squad says a lot to the opposing team. The final score was Casa Grande 52 and AJ 32. Obviously e cheering paid off. A. -in Freshman Cheer perform at home games when freshman teams play. Captured here are a few of the freshman cheerleaders Kami Fretheim, Celeste Kortsen, Brenda Wallace, Kim Coryell, and Steph- anie Yon. During a home JV basketball game JV cheer- leaders promote spirit by leading several different cheers. The cheerleaders above are Julie Vargo, and Carolyn Vanllazel. At every football game, basketball game, and pep assembly three groups of people are always there: Freshman, JV, and Varsity cheer squads. The cheer squads are the backbone of the spirit at CGUHS. When ever we need a little pep, the cheerleaders are there no matter how good or how bad we are doing. Ms. Rosemary DeJaeger, JV Cheerleader sponsor, says The main reason of the JV cheerleading squad is to promote spirit and enthusiasm at football and basketball games. All cheerleaders are required to support sport teams with enthusiasm and a good attitude. Freshman Cheerleader Christie Ann Lara says, It takes a lot of effort and cooperation to be on cheer squad. Cheerleaders can be seen practicing almost every day after school, per- forming at basketball games and football games Qincluding quite a few away gamesj, and leading cheers at all pep assemblies. If there is one word that could describe the cheer squads at CGUHS it would be SPIRITED. The JV Cheer Squad has a very unique motto, S.P.V. which stands for spirit, pride, and uni- ty. Which I guess is what it takes to be a cheerleader. The students at CGUHS would probably be a lot less spirited if it were not for the cheer- leaders. 27
