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.
