Gimme Spirit doesn’t come easily to everyone and the 1982 Varsity Cheerleaders are here to help out. This year they prac- ticed hard at least two days a week and went to the games to encourage team and spectator spirit. They planned pep rallies for the football games and basketball games. They marched in the Cumberland Christmas parade and helped with school wide fund rais- ers. They helped in the election of a Mr. Football for 1982 and made post- ers for the games. Then they still had time to coach a junior cheerleading squad, with cheerleaders ranging in age from 5-8 years old. 18 Varsity Cheerleaders A Cé C 99 But spirit may not have always been easy. In spite of all the work during practice, they had to have many fund- raisers to pay for uniforms and other necessary items. Even with all their hard work, not all bills could be paid. Sponsor Barbara Meinhard and pro- spective cheerleaders for next year even plan to work in the summer. 1.

What a Game The Varsity Baseball team had a good year. Despite the number of first year players, the team worked well together. They practiced many long hours to win games and the team suffered most in the area of pitching. Later in the year the schedule also played havoc on the team. Several games were rained out or moved to another date due to Prom or other events. Sometimes the team would have in addition to school work tired them out. No one can play his best game when he’s tired. The team got off to a good start, with Alaric Gust even getting 3 homeruns in a game. Near the end of the season the team fell back, however, and lost its chance for the playoffs. 1. Raymond Mottley prepares to go out on the field and play a good ballgame. 2.
