In her opinion a cheerleader was someone who had courage and interest in athletics. They had to practice before, during and after school while maintaining good grades. Phyllis Harbin, B-Team cheerleading sponsor, believed that cheerleaders should lead the crowd in voicing enthusiasm and be models for that enthusiasm. The cheerleaders had a third period class together taught by Coach Angie Kennedy. During this class they learned new cheers, practiced, and learned about different sports for which they cheer. B-Team won first place in the Chamizal City-Wide competition, so they are successful and most of the time they were cooperative, Harbin said of her cheerleaders. Fresh manfB-Team cheerleaders 71

Another year, another adviser The job of a student publication is to capture school memories and activities in pictures and copy. This year's Shield staff found that to be no easy task. Planning for this year's book began early last summer, when co-editors Lisa Lower and Robert Rivera started organizing plans for the book. The Shield underwent great changes in 1985-86. New- comer, Noel Knight, found being a yearbook advisor was not as easy as he thought it might be. With this being my first year, I did not really know what to expect, but the staff surpassed all of my expectations, Knight commented. This was also the first year the Shield staff had a male and female editor team. The co- editors different points of view caused a varied style in the book. A lot of pressure was eased when deadlines were met by the Shields hardworking staff. Most of our deadlines went by smoothly this year, but there is always room for improvement, Lower said. The Shield is primarily financed through S.A. card sales and advertising, and with sales being up this year the book was able to produce a lot of different styles and more color than the yearbook has ever had. Representative of Herff Jones Publishing Company, Donna Smith said, We strive to improve quality and content, while still maintaining our Shield traditions. This year the staffs main goal was to focus on more color and new layout designs throughout the book. 72 Shield Co-editor, Bobby Rivera reviews the days agenda Co-editor Lisa Lower puts the final touches o Sc I s l
