Cheerleading Takes Time And Courage Do you have the guts or courage to get up in front of thousands of people and cheer? Well, our Cavewomen do. Michelle Mennucci, a varsity cheer- leader, said, Cheerleading was very im- portant to me because I like the exercise and exposure to other people. We got many opportinities to meet new people. Camp was also very fun and educational. Cheerleading also allowed us to form close relationships with the other cheer- leaders. The cheerleaders attended the Universal Cheerleading Association camp at Ohio State University in July. While they were there, they received the Pom-Pon Routing Trophy, the Master Key to Spirit, two spirit sticks, a total of twenty-six superior (blue) ribbons, and the junior varsity received the Cheer and Chant trophies. We started practicing and preparing for camp the week after tryouts. We had to prepare mounts, a couple of cheers, and a pom-pon rou- tine. In July we went to a UCA camp. After camp we used our new chants and cheers to prepare for the football sea- son. VARSITY: Row I; M. Maunnucci. M. Blasko, and S. Strong. Row 2: K. McCambell, K. Westphal, and C. Halem.

Six And Four Season Sets A A six and four season isn ' t altogether that bad considering That we could have done better, stated Coach Miller, head coach of Mishawaka ' s Varsity Football team. Miller also adds, Too many mistakes by a good team lead to too many losses, losses that could have been avoided. No one could figure it out. The mistakes lasted all season. The Elkhart Central and Penn games were two of the best games the Cavemen played because of the stiff competition the teams provided each other, and they presented good spectator games. We played a good game against Penn be- cause they were our rival. Elkhart Cen- tral ' s game was good because we stuck with them for three and a half quarters when they were number one. The score was tied seven to seven in the second half of the Elkhart Central game as a result of Mishawaka ' s deter- mined offense against the Blazers. An onside kick was recovered by Brad Flo- ra which opened the second half of the game. Tom Klaer gained 83 yards in rushing, and snared an eight yard pass from Doug Kocsis in traffic for a touch- down.
