All varsity cheerleaders were invited to be on the squad, but due to conflicting things, only these participated: Seniors- Julie Campbell, Ann Morrisette, Sa- brins Forrest, Amy Ahrenkiel, and Juniors- Amy Dalton tCaptainj, Jolene Baca, Katie Mongeau, Ann Camacho, Lisa Hough, and Dulci Chapa, Monica Foreman acted as the group sponser and Cheryl Cartin spent many hours working with the squad on a difficult stunt that won in Competitions several years ago. Among the cheerleaders' fundraisers this year, they sold Christ- mas wrapping paper and stationary. The cheerleaders usually begin their year without any funds, but do their best to earn the money they spend by selling things and having activities for the students. The Varsity Football cheerleaders were seniors- Annette Vitry, Ann Morrisette, Amy Arhenkiel, Kristi Gleason, and Sabrins For- rest, and juniors- Anne Zentner, Lisa Hough, and Dulci Chapa.

The rest of the squad consisted of Lori Bonds, Barb Meiser, Stacy Taylor, Brenda Bowker, Betsy Korb, Sherri Johnson, Holli Martin, and Carla Baca. A very special activity the Poms participat- ed in this year was being back up vocals with disc jockey, Steve Kelley from KIMN radio, on a record. It was entitled 'iHey Ronnie after the popular punk song Hey Mickey. The song satired President Reagan and his administration. lt began with a plea Kelley made for a cheerleader to call the station and the first to do so could do him a favor. Carla Baca, senior, called first and Kelley said he needed some cheerleaders for backup on a take-off song. Baca accepted the offer, and the Poms were on their way to fame. They recorded it in a professional studio for two hours. They were paid with KIMN chicken dolls, but if they should cut a record the pro- ceeds will go in the Pom fund. Kelley also wants to do more take-off records, and the Poms are lined up to help if he needs girls. As most cheerleaders do, the poms went to camp this past summer at the University of Denver. Stacy Taylor, junior, explained, Camp was fun and we got along really well except we only had a few hours a day to ourselves, the rest of the time we worked. The poms came back with the superior trophy and the unity award, which was voted upon by all of the squads at camp. When asked what the most frustrating part of the year was, they answered that it was the lack of school support. We go to five games a week and there wasn't very many people at our competition. lt's really depressing.

Spirit Leaders The 1982-1983 Junior Varsity squads did an excellent job of showing their support and spirit this year at many of the GMHS sporting events. Their camp this summer was held at C.U. in Boulder, working hard at cheers, earning spir- it awards and ribbons to take home to GMHS. The squads were as follows: J.V. Football - Laura DeMoye, Mallory Moore, Vicki Zion, Stephanie Volz, Kelly Murphy, Rhonda Danzeisen, and Kristi Parisi. J.V. Basketball - Kami Ogden, Mallory Moore, Stephanie Volz, Shelly Hassen, Kathy Lynch, Leslie Mathis, Rhonda Strepman, and April Sum- mers. J .V. Wrestling - Kelly Murphy, Susan Terry, Rhonda Danzeisen, Vicki Zion, and 88 - Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Lynn Debroder. The squad's head cheer- leaders were Kristi Parisi, Rhonda Strepman, and Kelly Murphy. These cheerleaders felt that they helped to bring the school together better than any squad before. They helped join GMHS' ath- letes together with the band and cheerleaders. They are very proud of the spirit they gave over the year. The cheerleaders work very hard at what they do. Cheerleading sponsor Monica Fore- man said, The average cheerleader puts in about an average work week. It's difficult to do and many of them also go out for sports or have part time jobs.
