Susie Urtiz, the 1985-1986 mascot, is probably the most often seen yet least often known member of the cheerleading squad. She wears the huge pirate outfit that was purchased last year with cheerleader and ASB funds. Page 135. 1. Pirate Spirit. FRONT ROW: P. Woodman. H. Sawyer, M. Speakman. S. Urtiz, D. Ruehr.

Making The Sacrifice For Spirit he road to being a cheerleader is long and very diffi- cult. Starting last May, the cheerleading hopefuls went through a demanding testing and evaluation pro- cess with the final selections being made by the Cal Poly spirit squad. After that, summer meant practices from eight to ten o'clock in the morning, five and sometimes six days a week! In fact, the only break they received was the Unit- ed Spirit Association camp in July. But in many ways, this was the toughest part of the 1985-86 season. Having virtual- ly no free time, the girls attended workshops and competed against other schools in various tests of spirit. And at the conclusion of the seemingly endless three days, the Morro Bay varsity squad came away with four superior awards in the events of Take-and-Give, Game Action, Attitude, and Home Cheer. ln addition, they were awarded two spirit sticks and a trophy for superiority, the highest rating given. Of course, it was not all hard work. Mary Hudson, setting an unofficial record, managed to stuff forty-eight grapes intc her mouth at once! Being a cheerleader includes more than most people think. Besides cheering at every football, volleyball, soccer and basketball match, each of the girls spent about S5350 tc pay for the cost of uniforms, camp, and spirit decorations Besides that, practices are more than three hours a weel for the majority of the year! Growing out of almost nothing, this year's Pirate Spiri' Club is a force to behold. Mostly the work of Sherril Spent cer, this is one of the largest spirit associations to even come to MBHS. The spirit is here , said Laura Tremblay the group's advisor, it just needs to be organized ant focused. Besides making excesses of noise, they contri bute much to our school by letting the players know tha' they are winners, regardless of the score. x -max.. 'S ,..ff W-gg, sfwqp. .

eing a Drill Team member during foot- ball season means coming in early and leaving late, for there are many obliga- tions to fulfill. Majorette Kristen Neve said My parents like what l'm doing! Kristen could possibly be called the main attraction at many half-time shows throughout the year. These performances require the know how to be energetic, to coordinate hand and foot movement, and to generate much ex- citement. The advisor, Cindy Stoffel, has this knowledge and the talent to teach it. Her hard work and efforts have paid off with the girls winning a first place award in the Homecoming Parade. ln addition to her instruction, the members attended a three day camp at UCSB. Camp was great! said four year member Kellie Mahan. Despite the muscle tiring workouts, friendships were built that will last a lifetime. With the appre- ciation of athletes and fans, they perform at half-time shows and do concerts with the stage band. Along with marching in the pa- rade at the Baywood Festival, they sold strawberries to raise funds for their new uni- forms. All the hard work will pay off when the top ten members of the team put on an extravagant performance in Disneyland at the end of the year. Being a wrestlerette means keeping statis- tics, working the clocks, and spending countless hours turning feminine voices into masculine growls. At first, keeping statistics is confusing, but when you learn what a ta- kedown, nearfall, and an escape are, it be- comes very easy and fun. Working the clock gives an intense feeling when it's the last period with only five seconds left. We're not cheerleaders, say the girls. We repre- sent the wrestlers and we strongly believe in what we are doing. One of the best benefits of being a wrestlerette comes with the spe- cial friendships that develop and grow with the season. 136 Spirit
