During july, the drill team went to Santa Cruz United Spirit Association camp where, under the guidance of Captain Les- lie Murrell and Co- Captains Sarah Cast and Leigh Anne Martello, they earned a superior trophy, which was a- warded to the top drill teams. For the first time in three years, they were chosen by the other teams as the most outgoing group and received the Friendship Boot. 2212 E as 1.5 I YOU I f?f5:3:l11:f':'1-:?:i:1:-1-:-iZf':'.4t-1-,-. -.-,- .-'- ' After having a crash course in dance at camp, the drill team branched out. We tried a lot of styles, from dance, to military, to jazz, but pre- cision military will al- ways be our favorite, said Murrell. To achieve a varied look, the drill team performed to different types of songs like Situation , Venus and Lover Come Back To Me. The squad also performed with the band to help inspire school spirit. The biggest change the team had to adapt to was a male adviser. Bert Keeler enhanced team morale with his enthusi- asm. If you go out and try, you are not a loser, said Keeler in one of his many pep talks. Mr. Keeler loves to spoil us, but he also makes it fair for everybody, said Nat- alie Amabisco. Dressed as cougars, another important spirit group, the mascots, could be seen around campus helping cheer teams to victory. Sophomore An- drea Cast and senior Karen Zorichak were these self-motivated mascots. We want to help improve spirit and help the school identify with their mascot, said Cast. With this in mind each paid over 450 dollars for the purchase of new cougar costumes and the fee to attend a four day mascot training camp at Sacramento State. Because this was the first attempt to make the mascots' influence vis- ible, Zorichak and Cast had a difficult time paving the road for the mascots to come.

From the teenage hangout to the dmg store to the local shopping mall, Sac- ramento was well- equipped to fulfill the needs and desires of all. It's great living in a big city like Sacramento be- cause everything is within reach, said Lisa Swanner. Whether it was a quick run to the supermarket for Mom or a shopping trip with friends, life deman- ded students to spend a large part of their time as consumers. It seems like I'm running errands for either my parents or myself 24 hours a day, said John Spangenberg. The demands of school added to the time students were forced to spend as consumers. With the start of the new school year came the need for paper, pencils, folders, binders, and, above all, clothes. Students turned to stores of all kinds to meet these needs. When such events as Homecoming, TWIRP, and proms came around, such items as tuxedos and corsages that weren't nor- mally a part of students buying habits had to be taken care of. I usually end up spending more before a big dance than I do during the night itself, said Dave Sheppard. The studentfbusiness dependence went both ways as businesses coun- ted on students to support them. Eating establish- ments that were normally slow on late Friday nights buzzed with people because they were the places to go after games. If no one knows what to do after a game, we usually end up going to Penguins and having yogurt while we decide, said Sarah Cast.
