VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Under the careful supervision of Miss Sandra Scalzo, the cheerleaders prepared for our annual football and basketball seasons. They sacrificed much of their time and practiced diligently morning and afternoon in the gym. Kindness, consideration, and ambition are lust a few of the many qualities which these girls possess. Our cheerleaders play a vital role in encouraging school spirit, cooperation, and sportsmanship. Captain Cindy Frisina, accepted her responsibility with the attitude that the cheerleaders would not just be good, but would be the best. The goal which she set was, indeed, high. Nevertheless, at every game all could see that these girls did achieve it. l33
