Varsity Cheer Building spirit with energy by Karma Cerda T he f unnest part of being a cheer- leader for me was taking the varsity foot- ball team out to breakfast at four in the morning, re- marked Michelle Garcia, one of nine juniors comprising the eleven member varsity squad. Together, they improved school spirit and built team support through their enthu- siastic energy displayed at games and assembly perfor- mances. Although cheerleading ap- pears glamorous, it was hard work, dedication, and exten- sive practice that attributed to the squad ' s success. Being a cheerleader means supporting our teams, getting fans involved, providing half-time enter- tainment, and representing Saddleback at cheer compe- titions, added Dana Jack- son, co-captain. The squad ' s strive for per- fection was equally manifest- ed at competitions, the high- light being awarded first place at the Knott ' s Berry Farm competition. To sum it all up, according to Christine Dunn, co-cap- tain, Cheering is a lot of fun, and a lot of work! V l r « 4 kk i- rVn lAy -r-£N- • ■Hj Mj W i ' V T rrrn jfc T 11 J SHS J .
