Freshmen Learn Leadership Bradley Abrameit Jeffrey Alexander Maggie Allen Brenda Alvarez Louis Alvarez ' Hyper ' Personality Finds Natural Outlet Leading Her Class, Cheers A cheerleader, a sports fan, a freshman class vice-president, and a Science Club member. Four sep- arate people? No, just some of the activities of Jill Benbow. Cheerleading is a natural outlet for Jill ' s ' hyper ' personality.. As a first-year high school student and third-year cheerleader she says, I just watched my brother ' s girl- friends and I wanted to be like them. One thing Jill likes about cheer- leading is wearing the short mini-skirts, but, pep rallies are o.k., too. Her favorite part of cheerleading is going over to the visitors ' side to look for the cute guys. Trying to participate in cheer- leading and athletics may have an effect on her athletic abilities. She plays volleyball, basketball and track. They put me in athletics in seventh grade and I ' ve been there since, Jill said. I ' m not very good. I know every splinter on the bench. She is the Freshman Class Vice- President and a member of the Science Club which she likes be- cause we go places to gether and have fun doing the most absurd things like playing poker at mid- night in a school bus with no lights. After having participated in all her activities, Jill says her life has changed. I ' ve met a lot of new people and have gone to many dif- ferent places, she concluded.
