Cheerleaders go for the spirit By Tina Amodio Cheerleaders brought a lot of spirit and excitement to pep assemblies and sport events this year. Unity was a key ingredi- ent. Each cheerleader had to come in the summer at 6:00 a.m. and practice for about two hours. During this time they perfected their cheers and chants for camp. Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity went to California this year. Varsity went to San Diego University and JV's went to University of California, San Diego. Both squads got superior ratings along with winning the spirit stick. Senior Marisa Espinosa was presented the All American Cheerleader Award. SENIOR MARISA ESPINOSA kicks during a dirt dance.

I N SENIORS HOLLY WILSON and Tanya Craven kid around during a football game. 40 Cheer lt is a lot of hard work, but it is worth all the early morning prac- tices to help cheer the team on. - Holly Wilson Camp brought us all a lot closer and in doing this it made us work better as a line, commented sophomore Sheri Wat- kins. Throughout the football season cheer- leaders perform at pep assemblies doing dirt dances, spirit cheers as well as lead- ing the class competition. To keep up the football team's morale the cheerleaders did special things for them. This included giving them little goo- die bags at pep assemblies, supplying refreshments after their practices and have a dinner at the end of the season. For the first time Coronado has added a freshman cheer line to traditional cheer squads. They tried out at the end of Octo- ber so that they could prepare them- selves for basketball season. I felt that having Freshman cheer would give the new students an opportuni- ty to get more involved, stated sponsor Juana Frederick.

Dancing Donettes Keep on Kicking By Mary Durkin Photos by Chuck Ross The Coronado Dancing Donettes had to adjust to an administrative change this year which forced the line to perform sep- arately from the marching band, and de- prived the Donettes of competitive band days and band camp. As P.E. teacher and advisor, Mrs. Juana Fredericks explained, The change didn't enhance the Donettes as intended, rather it was degrading for them. But they adjusted well and worked hard together.

Donette Captain Angel Cutruzzula. During the regular football season the Donettes stepped onto the field to per- form their dances after the band complet- ed its show. Basketball fans were enter- tained at half-time by the Donettes, accompanied by the band or a recorded tape. A few special events included a per- formance for a convention at the Pointe Resort. The Donettes also danced at half- time forthe Phoenix Pride indoor soccer team. During the summer the Donettes held practice every weekday morning before going to San Diego, for a one week stay at DeAnza Campland. In between practices at the camp the Donettes took time out to goto the beach and took a trip to Disney- land. Going away together for a week, real- ly gave us a chance to get closer and become better friends, and a better team, and we worked very hard, states junior Donette Debbie Newton. ,fl 159' ,M X
