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

A program where teens go into the junior high's and talk to them about drugs, alcohol, and peer pressure. Youth Educators go through 50 hours of training and also give up one period of class time twice a week. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it was all worth it. I didn't realize how at- tached I would get to the kids in my class, commented Evelyn Salazar, senior. The group worked together as a team. Since they spent so much time together preparing to go into the classrooms at the junior highs, they quickly made strong bonds of friendship with each other. Everyone got along because we all had a common goal, which was to prevent junior high kids from us- ing drugs and alcohol. Throughout the program all the Youth Educators became close. This is something I'm really proud of doing. The memories of me being a Youth Educator will last, but hopefully, what we taught will last longer, said Shari Lind, ju- nior. - Casey Chase YOUTH EDUCATORS Bottom row: R. Cuya and V.
