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.

SWING RIGHT SWING LEFT Christine Douglas has fun performing her routine at the PittfAntioch game. SMILE FOR THE NICE MAN Our mascot, Iennifer Dimarob brings spirit to the crowd. EIGHT FLAG SAL UTE Flagtwirler members included: Angie Nazereta, Lynn Herren, Terri Nord, Carrisa Soriano, and Iamie Gaerlan. Spin and Win FLAGTWIRLERS AND MASCOT PROMOTE SPIRIT AROUND THE SCHOOL Spirited and hard working summed up our vivacious flag-twir- lers this year. The girls twirled and marched along with the band during half time at the football games. Their spirits were high, and their skills were perfected. It was hard, but the feeling you got from the crowd really made it special, stated Christine Douglas. Another newcomer to the spirit crowd was our spunky mascot, len- nifer Dimerob. She dressed in her Pirate outfit and chanted along with the cheerleaders to pep up the . . . FIagtWirIersfMascot crowd. I do it to promote school spirit, said Dimerob. And that it did. Crowds cheered along and got into the feel of victory right along with her. This great feel- ing aided P.H.S. to victory. Both the flagtwirlers and the mascot brought our spirit in the crowds at the football games, and made them memorable events. - Theresa Krut
