The results showed through with the basketball half-time performances, sideline cheers, and the .lams '87 Pep Rally. To keep in shape, all cheerleaders took part in activities ranging from aer- obics to daily jogs. Extra gymnastic workouts helped Lisa Grift7n immense- ly, Gymnastics has given me both flexibility and strength needed to cheer. Before every practice, both squads could be found warming up with aerobic exercises and stretches. Anne Arpon, one of the Varsity Cheerleaders, even found time to monitor her diet, I drink lots of milk and take orange juice with my vitamins, it's an obsession! There were, of course, guidelines which everyone took in stride, such as eating right and making practices. The guidelines aren't hard to follow, but the worst for me is that we have to be in bed by ll o'cloek! lt makes sense, though, because during Saturday morning games, we're all dead! commented Liza Bayot. Ah well, rules are rules. Regardless of their petite stature, the Dainty Dozen faced the crowds un- daunted. The winner by a knockout- The Dainty Dozen.

CAPT. CRUNCH WRESTLERS SNAP, CRACKLE, POP THROUGH SEASON Bridge . . . Get off your back! Swinging his body around his opponent, he scores two points. He clutches his opponent's arm, flips him on his back and I, 2, 3 PINNED!! It looks easy from a spectator's point of view but when you're out there it's a whole different story. He ties you up and you have to move quick or in three seconds you'll be pinned, stated Allen Warrick. Wrestlers grappled one-on-one but worked as a team. According to Mike Leon Guerrero, co-captain, I call them girls if they don't want to work. Nothing against girls, but the criticism makes them work harder. Even the coach takes the heat from me. He knows in the long run it's going to pay off. A new coach, Mr. Phil Beers, over- saw the squad. What's a 6th grade teacher doing at GDHS? He explained, I came to ask the school if they needed a baseball coach to which they said yes, ifyou coach wrestling also. So I agreed. At first I asked myself 'Why'?' But I don't regret it. The guys were there for me so I'm there for them. Wrestlers prepared for matches by running to lose weight, practicing their moves on each other, or psyching them- selves up. I pray before a match to ask God to give me strength to do my best to beat my opponent. Then I try to re- member the moves he used on me and think of how to get out of them, added Marc Angelo. Eleven wrestlers, eight novices, were selected to participate in the Far East Tournament in Yokosuka. In their re- spective weight divisions, Mike Leon Guerrero placed second, James Mills took fifth and Armando Wiley and Rommel Paat captured sixth. GDHS pulled in tenth out of fourteen teams.
