ENCOURAGEMEN T Lourdes Razo, I.V. cheerleader, enjoys cheering the team to victory. Go Fight Win! ENTHUSIASM OF FRESHMEN, IUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS PROVED SUPERIOR. Pride and enthusiasm helped the Iunior Varsity and Freshmen cheerleading squads become unified in promoting spirit. These two Spirit Squads had many goals. One goal was to encour- age the crowd with special cheers practiced throughout the summer. While attending cheerleading camp at Stanford, the I.V. cheerlead- ers earned four superior ribbons and a superior trophy. Along with the unity award and the spirit stick was won by all the squads. The freshmen came home with three excellents and a superior ribbon. At camp the cheerleaders worked hard preparing cheers and chants for them to present at the games. One of the main concerns of being a cheerleader is keeping the crowd involved, commented I.V. cheerleader Kristina Cahoon. Ius- tine Harris added, There were many responsibilities to being a cheerleader and it could become hectic at times. Feeding the football players, making posters, and toilet papering houses were a few activities which helped the spirit to continue. We feed the Freshmen team with punch and a variety of cookies and it was well appreciated. Kathie O'Conner, head freshmen cheer- leader, stated. Besides trying to get crowd en- couragement with their spirit pro- moting, the Freshmen and I.V. cheerleaders found time to become very close. Everybody got along well and some of us became such good friends that we all went out on the week- ends, said Myrna Mercado, assis- tant head I.V. cheerleader. Sometimes we had little argu- ments but we really got along well and had few problems, Kristie Barret, Freshmen cheerleader said.
