FAITHFUL FANS Through rain or sleet or snow or hail ... No matter what the condition is, the cheerleaders always seem to have that never-ending spirit. For this year ' s cheerleaders the story was no different. Through the up ups and downs the girls never lost their spunk. Football cheerleaders finally had some- thing to cheer about, as the football team took the E.S.C. Starting off with daily ses- sions during the summer, the cheerleaders practiced long and hard. The girls attend- ed the I.C.F. cheerleading camp and brought home seven various awards. All the girls worked really hard this year and it really paid off well during the season. We all had a fun and memorable time, stated co-captain Ann Rieger. The football cheerleaders were under the direction of their new advisor Diane Santorelli this season. Entering the basketball season the tides turned. Where the football team enjoyed success, the baske tball team suffered de- feat. Nevertheless the cheerleaders never gave up. Once again under the leadership of co-captains Ann Rieger and Chris Santorelli, the girls showed their ap- preciation by giving the team flowers and candy. During Christmas each cheerleader picked a player and became his Secret Santa. Junior Kim Saar comments, The season had its ups and downs but we worked together as a squad. Put the Pressure On. Showin ' their stuff the J.V. squad rushes to the floor during a time out. The girls show off their newly bought Spartans hats. Head Voice — Senior co-captain Chris Santorelli shows her leadership proudly. Chris was co-captain for basketball cheerleaders as well. Cheerleading 101
