With the guidance and support from Advisor Sherry Fontana and strive and dedication of l-lead Song Leader and l-lead Yell Leader, Kara Wil- son and Susan Flush, Beyer's varsity squads set off the spark of spirit that invigorated our school, Football and bas- ketball games wouldn't be the same with- out our dazzling array of spiritleaders who motivated students, players, par- ents, and teachers to cheer our teams into victory.

The marching band and color guard have arrived to open the half-time show. Sixteen hours a week can really be a drag for some students. Yet the members of Beyer's win- terguard faced each hour with cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Wintergard was basically an exten- sion of color guard, which was most often seen accompanying the marching band during the foot- ball season and several other competitions. Win- terguard captain Kelley Cox defined winterguard as being similar to dancing: lt's like dancing. If there's an accent in the music. you do a move. Bather than just using your arms and legs, the equipment we use is an extension of our bodies. The team consisted of five juniors, six sopho- mores. and twelve freshman. Anyone was able to join. Students that were previously in marching band assisted in writing and teaching routines as well as designing much of the equipment. These students were Brent Kline, who wrote many of the drills, Cindy Boday. who contributed to equipment design, and Carol Sherman, who delt with rifle equipment design. The winterguard participated in four shows, which were located in lvlanteca, lvlodesto Eat Beyer and Downey high schoolsl, and the Western Dream pageant in Cakland, respectively. W 4,69 of! 'l.
