Rob Bente, atop Dave McEwan, leads the crowd in a cheer. Raider Fans Really Show Their SPIRIT Who says the Raider fans don't have spirit? Cold, rainy, fall weather can keep some people from seeing the football team play at Ames Field. However, like the U.S. Postal Service, many proud parents and loyal friends are willing to suffer through rain, snow, sleet and hail for a few hours to support the Raiders. Heavy traffic and large crowds sometimes place a burden on spectators of the boys' basketball games, but who can resist an exciting night out with a group of friends? It is packed with entertainment. Besides the game itself, some of the other attention getters are: the energy of the pep band, the glitter of the Raiderettes, and the chants from the cheerleaders. Other main attractions are provided by the very popular Mr. Alber, blasting out cheers for the team, and the presence of our own Ricky Raider, Rich Waymire. Although there may be a lack of spirit within the school, the loyal fans who attend the events really give it all they've got. Waves of roars come out for cheering on the blue and gold. DJ Voss Benee Dumas clowns around during halftime of a basketball game. Mr. Hendricks helps to pep-up the fans with a song from the band. 18 Student Life

BITS 'N' PIECES Every production has its problems. The 1985 production of Bits-n-Pieces was no exception. One might even say, they had some tough “breaks this year. As the curtain rose for the opening act, two break dancers appeared on the stage. After three attempts to get the right song, the breakers left the stage, planning to return later to dance to the right song. Despite the unfortunate opening, the show proceeded with Ron Riley and his jazz-rocking sax. Shea Roper played the piano and sang a song she composed herself. She also sang a duet with Justo Samalio. Other vocal groups sang In my House and Everything You Touch . The band R.U.I. per- formed to You Really Got Me and to one of their own compositions. For dancing talent, Theresa Babovac and Lisa Pliske danced to Baby I'm a Star . Although it started on a bad note, it ended in tune. The quintet performs to Coke Adds Life . Mr. Lootens tells Justo Samalio one of his jokes to awaken rehearsal. Ron Riley jazzes on his sax. 20 Student Life
