Spirit is Promoted by Squads SONGLEADERS AND VARSITY CHEERLEADERS CREATE ENTHUSIASM Unique! Spirited! Vigorous! These were just a few words saying that the songleaders and cheerlead- ers were unique. The girls were cho- sen last April because of their in- credible ability and performance skills. The songleading squad con- sisted of eight girls, seven seniors and one junior: the cheerleading squad consisted of six juniors and two seniors. The girls showed an unusual amount of unity. The many returning veterans helped the groups. Many goals were accomplished such as quickly ordering uniforms, having car washes, and various fund raisers. The girls' great effort paid off. This summer both squads attended camp at Stanford University where they won many prestigious awards. Some of these awards were: the unity award, a spirit stick, trophy's, a ban- ner, and a multitude of ribbons. The girls received these awards by show- ing miraculous school spirit. While at camp, the songleaders and cheerleaders learned many new routines and cheers, which they brought back to present to us. The fa- mous camp dance, performed during half-time at our El Cerrito game, which was done to a popular tune by Run D.M.C., was one of these rout- ines. Head Songleader Evette Cas- tillo felt positive about her squad from the very beginning. We were more than just a typical squad, we had known each other for quite a long time. We had a special bond that makes our friendship as close as a family. A newcomer to the Cheerlead- ing squad Belinda Burns stated, Surprisingly, the squad is content. There weren't any qualms and if a decision had to be made we would put in our two cents and things would be accomplished. - jen Dimarob GO PIRATES, GO!

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.
