N 233 58763113 Q S It alllbegan last spring-the choosing of the 1977-1978 Pep Unit. The first step in trying out for a unit was to attend a three to four week clinic, in which skills, to be performed during screening, were taught. Each girl was taught one cheer or routine, one chant and approximately three skills, aside from a required, original cheer or routine made up by the girl. All of this preparation was for screening which was when the girls performed individually for a board of 10 12 'ud es The ' J 8 - judges consisted of teachers, senior cheerleaders, heads of squads and two representatives from Leadership. Competi- tors for the specific squads screened after school, each unit trying out on a different day. At the end of the week a bulletin was posted telling who had passed screening. This part of trying out was the most difficult for some girls, but for the majority, voting proved to be the most nerve-wracking. Voting is a very important step in choosing Pep Units. It gives the student body an opportunity to become involved in deciding who will represent Northview during the coming year. Voting is also the last step, and therefore the deciding factor in being on a Pep Squad. The results of the elections were announced at a rally, and that was the ultimate mo- ment-the Pep Unit was finally being announced. The 24 girls chosen were lucky enough to participate in a full year of unique experiences. Their jobs were time consum- ing, but everyone succeeded in having a lot of fun. The first major event for the whole Pep Unit was camp. During the first six weeks of summer the cheerleaders, songleaders, and 206 Pep Unit flag-twirlers could be seen practicing at all hours of the day Camp was held July 23 through July 26 at Pepperdine Uni versity in Malibu. Determined to be ready for it, the Ped Unit learned competition cheers and routines to perfection While at camp, each squad received individual awards, group awards and spirit sticks. The work and determination that had been put into the practices greatly improved each groups After camp, practices were resumed, but this time in prep aration for football. Voices, yelling cheers and chants, coul be heard clear across Northview's campus. Rally uniform were being made and everyone anticipated the first football game. All this took place before school started in September but the scene was reconstructed in December, before th start of the basketball season. Squads met to practice ne cheers and modify old routines, basketball uniforms were being sewn or shopped for, and everyone was excited for the sport to begin. The main idea dominating this year's Pep Unit was change. Different cheering methods were used at games, cheering was only done between plays or during time outs. This was to allow the audiences to really watch the games and to build spirit among the crowds when chants were done. The Pep Unit also worked with the Rally Club to help make the rallies become more organized and successful. On the whole, the Pep Unit worked to help rebuild a sense of pride and enthusiasm among Northview's student body.
