Pep Squad H Pep Lends H Support U TiTJ hen I say spirit you say great BLA . , . ! Heard at every football game, pep rally or assembly, Huskies participated enthusiastically in the Husky grunt cheer. However, this out- pouring of spirit did not come natural- ly. It was evoked by a spirited band of North cheerleaders- varsity and JV cheer, the mascot, and the commission- er- who supported North in many ways. The pep sguad spent many long hours working together to improve their skills. Practice everyday after school and during the summer gave the squad plenty of time to work on their cheers, while camp at UC Santa Barbara helped the group adapt to each other over all. Laurie Martinez added, It helped make us a united squad. In addition to supporting the football and basketball teams, the pep squad tried to include waterpolo and wres- tling in their agenda. Supporting the school and its atheletes is fun! stated captain Tabby Kettlewell. Although their biggest responsibility was cheer- ing at the actual games, the squad also showed their support by selling spirit ribbons. Sayings, such as Huskies Eat Panther Meat and Bears Make Good Rugs were found on these ribbons. Another way the cheerleaders support- ed the football team was with secret pen pals. Each cheerleader had one or more penpals with whom they ex- changed gifts- usually food- and friend- ly notes, ' i ' continued on page 172 Pep commissioner, Sabrina Grannan, par- ticipates in a ctieer at a pep assembly introducing tall sports. 1 70 organizations

Pep Squad I Mascot I Adds Pep ■ •l esides supporting the JV teams, iJ the IV cheerleaders got in to the act by joining the varsity squad at homecoming and pep rallies. It gives you a sense oi school pride, stared Anne PoUis. One of the four freshmen members. Shelly McClure comment- ed, I thought it would help me adapt to a new school more easily. Providing an important service for the 1985 cheerleaders was pep commis- sioner Sabrina Grannan. The pep com- missioner announced the cheerleaders at pep assemblies and rallies, and was the squad ' s representative to USL. Usu- ally the commissioner was not a mem- ber of the squad, but Grannan, who was in her third year as a squad mem- ber, was an exception. I wanted some- one who was experienced with cheer- leading, said advisor Mrs. Flowers. Another member of the squad who provided spirit and support was the new Husky mascot. I wanted to be able to express myself and my school spirit. Playing the part of the Husky I can do this, stated Ivette McClure. The brand new mascot and McClure made their debut at the first home game against Poly. Whether leading cheers at a game, performing routines during a pep as- sembly, or tucking notes into their pen- pal ' s lockers. North high cheerleaders and mascot could always be counted on for their support. ••■ Cheering the football team on to touchdown, the pep squad chants, Make that point!
