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.

The boys basketball team experienced an ample taste '0 0'O Close! of wlnnlng and losing This year's boys varsity basketball team was bursting with surprises. Yes, this talented bunch shocked the stu- dents, parents, and perhaps even their coach with unheard of victories over such teams as Kennedy and Spring- field. The boys' habit of winning many of their games by one or two points proved nerveracking, yet they always could be relied upon to provide their tense audience with their fill of excite- ment. Maybe the boys' luck began when their new coach turned out to be an old friendg Steve Rice took over Mr. Nelms's job as head coach and began transforming the boys - a transforma- tion which took them all the way to the playoffs. And, they didnat even stop there! No, our guys set out to make a name for themselves by winning the playoff game against Christ-opher Dock. Right: Bringing the ball in, Tim Baltz avoids his guard.
