Spirited, skillful six support all sports A squad of six, spirited, skillful and sports loving Saxons made the 1979-80 Varsity Cheerleaders. The group of five seniors and one junior were led by Mrs. Audrey Brown, advisor. Our cheerleaders were busy not only throughout the year but also during the summer. Conducting fund raisers and composing compe- tition cheers. The highlight of the summer activities was attending the U.C. Santa Barbara Cheerleading camp, where they earned a spirit stick. During the year they painted signs, baked goodies, participated in pep assemblies and helped to create spirit and enthusiasm. Our most rewarding experience stated head cheerleader Laura Reardon was to be able to support both men ' s and women ' s athlet- ics. 1 Showing their different talents, the cheerleaders performed skits as well as cheers.
