S0 Many Games lf you thought you had noticed a few changes in this year's Varsity Cheerleading Squad, you were right. Sev- eral changes took place which gave the Varsity Cheer- leaders a more refined and college-like look. One dramatic change in the squad this year was the use of male cheerleaders. For the first time in GMHS history, the guys got their chance to stmt their stuff' and show their spirit in front of' the Ram Fans. The guys were: Scott Pecikonis, Jedd Erfurdt, Joey Bradley, Ron Olemski, Steve Kyle and Andy Kerr. It was a hard road at first for the guys trying to learn the moves and the style. However, with each practice, the guys improved and proved to be not only a great asset to the squad, but a unique asset as well. This year's sponsor was Linda Burton. She was respon- sable for organizing the Varsity uad and hel ing them gain the recognition they deservid this year. Cpheerlead- ing Camp was held at CSU in Fort Collins this past year. The varsity squad not only won the spirit stick for most enthusiasm, but they also made it to the finals. Liz Mendez, Janel Rohe, and Kristi Lucas were this year's captains.

Shefsays that she really enjoys being a cheerleader and doesn't mind all of the long hard practice. It really pays off, is her comment to- ward practice. She loves her squad. I have a special relationship with my squad, they're great!! There is one thing that Linda doesrft like about being a cheer- leader. I hate it when we don't get any crowd support, it just gets me down. - Row l-Leslie Patrick Andrea Powelson, Denise Lomax, Sandra Rontti. Row 2-Monique Knott, Amy Schonbok.

L . X, Marching The Way To Victory Some people might think that Marching Band just performs at football games, half time and the parade for homecoming, and once a year at state. That all they have to do is show up and play. Howev- er this is not the case. Dedication and a lot of time go into making our marching band the special group that it is. Before the mem- bers even get to group practice they have to spend time at home learning the music individually. They are required to be at every practice and every performance, on time. One person missing could mess up the organization and syn- chronization of the group. A member is expected to put in l00'Z1 effort at all times. Other than competing at our athletic teams' compeitions, they also compete at quite a few . . . The marching band's music. ,. Vw-asvlwt :vit Q fi Ti ri ,344-gi , . . WW 5215!-. Es..
