Young And Enthusiastic! Although there are a lot of good things to say about cheerleading, it requires hard work and time. But the Freshman cheerleaders don't seem to mind it a bit. It's much easier to get involved and l like showing spirit for the school, stated Mindy Peterman when asked what she likes about being a cheerleader. Delinda Chapa, also a freshmen cheerleader, said that sometimes its a lot of responsibility being the captain of the squad, but other times it's great! There was responsibility on all of the cheerleaders. They practiced everyday during the summer and after school. They also attended cheerleading camp at Colorado State University. The camp lasted for three days. It was fun and a lot of work, but we learned a lot, remarked Mindy Peterman. Their hard work was Freshman cheerleaders: itop to bottoml Mindy Pe- terman, Leslie Patrick, Andrea Powelson, Niffie Bascom, Delinda Chapa shown by the awards that they received. On the first day they were rated superi- or , which is the highest award they could receive. On the two remaining days, they were rated excellent. It was then that they began to show that they were a real part of Green lVlountain's squad instead of just a mere after thought. Some people don't consider the freshman squad important, but showing their skill and enthusiasm as they do, they are impossible to ignore. Three out of the five members are vet- eran cheerleaders, Mindy Peterman, Les- lie Patrick, and Andrea Powlson, all of them being on the Dunstan squad last year. One thing they all agree on it that they have gotten much closer since working together and rest assured, next year they will add talent and enthusiasm to which ever squad will be lucky enough to get them. What's goin' on guys?! Delinda, Andrea, and Leslie are hard at work. Pose for the camera Freshman Cheerleading 93

Spectrum By far the 'iswingingest' group in the school, Spectrum, the jazz band here at GMHS, is in its twelfth year of entertain- ing, and they've never sounded better. Many of us have heard Spectrum play at pep assemblies, and special events here at school, but few of us know about their outside events. Some of Spectrum's past events in- clude the National Collegiate Jazz Band Festival in Chicago where Green Moun- tain turned out to be the hit of the testi' val. They also went to a college and high school music festival in Honolulu, Hawaii. Every other year, Spectrum tours during spring vacation. Beat it. The drum is resting. Keven Warner pratices his bass. Practice makes perfect. Spectrum 95
