78 Varsity Cheer Enthusiasm And Craziness: The Perfect Combo We want to promote so much school spirit that we will even embarrass ourselves, declared Denise Finnila when asked about the goals of this year's cheer squad. Clear- ly, an abundance of enthusiasm was evident as crowds of spirited students witnessed the crazy antics of eight over-zealous girls doing their stuff on large white boxes. As Anne Mussman remarked, We wanted to be apalIing. They were. The mania began last June when the newly elected group learned togetherness and sharpness at cheer camp. Their perfect chemistry was recognized when they were voted as the most spirited group by the other one hundred girls and awarded the honor of placing in the top two groups in excellence. The competition was stiff and required much work as Michele Vance recalled, lt was excruciating pain throughout the week, but it was worth it. The squod's commitment continued throughout the summer with practices four nights a week. The school alma-mater was also written to provide more unity within the school. Advisor Marilyn Mathisen also commented on the squod's energy, lt was fun working with such an enthusiastic group. J. Coklccio pi ,F-ri l K.LandBfl1 ee . i K. Landetl 2. 1.

YN' wr' -J We Do Need Education This year's debate topic resolving the federal government should establish minimum educational standards for elementary and secondary schools in the U.S. was a difficult one. Regardless, the debate team did an exceptionally good job both as a whole and individually. When asked how well they did, junior Donna Mooney answered, ln the prophetic words of Bob Horlick, our coach and leader, We'd be opening up a whole new can of worms if we told youjust how good our team was. The team went to three overnight competitions. One to Western Washington University, and the other two to Gonzaga and Lower Columbia. Everyone enjoyed the trips immensely. Lyanda Houpt, also a junior, added, ln light of ramification of everything that came down the pike, the team really showed alot of depth, something like a glass of milk that is half full. In closing, the senior debating team of Lyanda and Donna also expressed that their goal was, To make sure this year was notjust another brick in the wall. M. Vance ig. 1 1 ,fly Ok V, 1.5 sep .
