WRESTLING WIS ft C»lw Home -maid Help A question often asked is what is a matmaid? What do they do? Well the an- swer is simple, they are the most impor- tant fans of the wrestling team. The matmaids are girls that care and want to help the team, and coaches, and the school. The girls meet once a week and decide who is going to do what. The scoreboard has to be run, individual scores need to be taken, the towel needs to be thrown in so the referee and wres- tlers know when the periods are over. The girls also help out the Boosters at the matches by selling programs. Do you read the sports in the paper to see the scores? This is also done by the matmaids, after a home match they call up the papers and report the scores. These girls give up alot of there time. They stay after school to make locker signs and hall signs. This year like, other years the girls ran the Richmond Heights Holiday Wrestling Tournament. This year the girls had a new advisor, Tony Kelly. This was a new experience for her, she having never done anything like this before. Mrs. Kelly stated, Even though this was a new experience, it was fun working with the girls. There was alot of things that had to be run. There was a big turn out at the first few meetings, about 50. Not all of them stuck it out for the whole season, only 32 of the girls did. There are some girls that have a little more work involved, these are the girls who make scrap books for the senior boys. They have the responsibility of getting articles, taking pictures, and putting the book together. This itself takes patience and time. The girls are proud of what they are doing, and they had to maintain their responsibility throughout the season. Being a matmaid is alot of fun, and there is hard work in- volved, but it is worth the time, stated Stacy Taylor. Concentration. Keeping track of the points are Kate Bonnay and Kim Markusic. Kim was president of the matmaids while Kate earned her second varsity letter. Spartans arc 1. Sophomore matmaid Choe makes decorations for the team match. This one of the matmai responsibilities.
