Through these drastic weather changes, the girls' attitudes never changed. In August, fifteen Varsity and J.V. players attended a field hockey camp at Temple University. The girls endured 100 plus temperatures on the astroturf, lots of sprints, and testy stick- 86 Hockeyffhings 'Tie' ing Season Girls Field Hockey tied their opponents more often than not but they were superior in their drive.

Although the girls didnlt exactly have a winning season, they didn't have a losing one eitherg in fact, the hockey team must have the record for the greatest number of ties! Through all Miss Kneasis dedicated coaching the girls could just not outscore the oth- er teams. Even in this year of the tie,', the field hockey team had lots of fun. The girls enjoyed half-time shows during the J.V. games, and thinking up ex- cuses for not running sprints. The girls had a great season even though their record was not spectacular. All are looking towards next year and the year of the win !

True To Their School l We are number one . . . second to none, the JV and Varsity cheerleaders' cries echo, even if the teams they root for don't always succeed. nder the guidance of captains Betsy McCutcheon and Jessica Mauger, the varsity cheer- leaders' uniquely all senior squad struggled lyes, those seemingly sweet and innocent girls are guilty of plenty of 'istrugglingnl to keep their morale up and their jumps synchronized. This year, the girls opted for pre-game prac- tices over the traditional 7:15 A.lVl. practices. And the effort they put forth brought unexpected results: their pre- football game spirit luncheon as well as the sale of programs at football games helped pay for new sweaters, giving the varsity cheerleaders a new look. Also adding to their new image were their murals at basketball games, their spirited dance to the tune of the Beach l Boys, 'iBe True to Your School, and, their fall pep rallies. The unforgettable homecoming game was creatively pub- l licized with a homemade effigy of our rival mascot and plenty of decora- tions Cballoons, bows, and muralsl at the game, which remedied the grim mood brought on by the damaged sta- dium. Captain Jen Lindberger headed the JV which was also coached by Mrs. May. The JV cheerleaders, who cheer only at basketball games, proudly belt- ed out their cheers, despite the squad's small size. The five girls had plenty of fun, but dreaded the games where more than one girl was absent! Varsity Cheerleading: Front Row: Bernadette Hoyt, Debbi Becker, Julie Borda, Marybeth Haas.
