ust imagine Imagination was the key in '83 Working with 43 girls at one time is definitely an exper- ience, sponsor Mala Ayers said. You just couldn't imagine Q if what it's really like. These words, spoken by Miss IZ Ayers, lead the mind to ji! gf wonder. But the general con- ,gih census was that taking time to L5 , 'l'i,g, imagine makes all the differ- ence in the world. This year we've done a lot of new things for the Charger causef, Captain Cynthia jolly commented. We started with a private clinic during summer practice. The unity we gained from this has carried us through a lot of problems. This broke the tradition of attending camp at Southern Methodist University and apparently was a success. We also did some neat things for the football team, Cynthia added. We have a better attitude about things. This shows in the things we do and the way Miss Ayers and the other teachers act toward us. Whether cheering at a ball game, decorating the gym, or arriving at 6:00 in the morning for early practice, the year held many surprises. The Chargettes had only one thing to say. We can imagine! - By Marla Hardwick A WORK OF ART - Painting banners for the football locker room was one way the Chargettes expressed their apprecia- tion.

-ns., eff Q Spirit of '83 Close look at cheerleading reveals more than cheers Cheerleading is more than just jumping up and down on the sidelines,'l Jill Ammons, f co-captain said. Wc've spent many extra hours on other things besides games. Cheerleading r e q u i re - ments - learning new cheers, planning pep assemblies, mak- ing banners, etc. - demanded a lot. In addition, squad members were constantly responsible for representing the school. Another responsibility was the improvement of inter-school relations, and the squad hosted a dinner for Qle Main cheerleaders on the day of the Charger-Wildcat game. Captain Liz Martin said both squads could have talked and laughed for hours. Ammons added insight to squad motivation. Even though cheerleading takes a lot of time and energy, it's worth it, she said. The good times will stay with us forever. - By Libbi Dixon LISTEN UP - Senior Tom Kieklak cheers Northeast on to a victory over Cle Main. - Photo by Beth Brady BOSOM BUDDIES - Senior Libbi Dixon and the Charger mascot join Sylvan Hills cheerleader Denise Odom and Bear mascot in a loving hug. - Photo by Beth Brady Spirit of '83!99
