The Spirit Was Hard To Beat lt wasn't all glitter, sparkle, and smiles. It was hard work, plus exuber- ance and school spirit. But it was also practice, practice and more practice. Together all ot these qualities lent themselves to the letter-pertect co-ordi- nation of Sabino's Songleaders. Through thick and thin, the spirit was hard to beat. Kim Modica, co-captain for the past year, was particularly en- thusiastic. Even in the rain, we had a lot ot fun. The dances were not the brain chil- dren ot the captains only. Input from the girls to co-captains Kim Modica and Brenna Thompson, was essential tor the creation oi a new and unique routine. The average was a new dance each week. Added Kim, Being a Songleader is difficult, but it is a great way to get to know more people in your school. This year's team really worked together well. The work load was strenuous, with practices most days and even some weekends, but the output was reward- ing. The Songleaders were an impor- tant part ot Sabino's tradition, a large portion ot spirit that was hard to beat. By Kristen Eykel Photos by L. Werner and D. Scott 1.

Cheerleading: A True Symbol Of Spirit As the l983-84 cheerleaders found out, being a cheerleader isn't always the glamour that it's known for. They learned that it required hard work, dedication, and a willingness to work with others in order to cheer Sabino's teams on to victory and raise the level of school spirit. Working along with the songleaders at many games, the two groups deco- rated the players' lockers and partici- pated in some hall marches with the band on Fridays. There were many times when they had to stay for long practices after school, and were re- quired to perfect a new routine in as little time as a week. Taken for granted at some times, what would that Friday night game be without the cheering and yelling heard from the sidelines? As a symbol of school spirit, this year's cheerleaders found out that it was worth the sweat and tears shedp and that the memories were plentiful. By Beth Snyder Photos by Larry Werner l.
