Songleaders Dancing straight into the limelight by Ineke Stoneham There were only four girls on the squad, but they had enough energy for fifty, and most importantly, they be- lieved in what they were do- ing. The songleaders danced their way into the limelight of half-times and pep rallies. Moving to the beat of Duran Duran and golden oldies, they proved that showing their spirit could be fun and original. We always at- tempted to do something that our audience had never seen before, explained cap- tain Judy Sanchez. Along with cheering on the sidelines and peforming at half-times, the squad spon- sored fundraisers in order to attend camps and further their repetoire of routines. Camp is a great chance to meet girls with good ideas, exclaimed Sally Rivera. The songleaders created an energy and a comradery in the audience that lifted the spirits of all. V ft Songleaders: K. George, J. Sanchez, S. Trezise. S. Rivera ♦ Captain Judy Sanchez exudes confidence as she contemplates her rou- tine. Every expression, kick and twirl was choreographed to please the audience. Sally Rivera and Stacey Trezise wait for their cue to begin at the CIF pep rally. Music was the vital part of the routines that gave them originality. Organizations 121

9 Adrian Hill stops for a moment of rest while leading the troupe during one of their daily twenty-minute workouts. This proud captain also managed to keep up morale in times of stress and frustration. Dance Team Dancers jam in perfection by Roselie Vasquez No curtains rose, and there were no props to lean on for a little support or added confidence, but satisfaction was gained after completing a performance on the dance team, whether you were a member of the varsity or the junior varsity teams. The uniforms worn often made them self-conscious and uncomfortable, but all this was set aside when the music began and the teams started jammin . Ms. Blan- chard ' s firm, constructive way of advising her teams led them to victories at many competitions, such as the Huntington Beach competi- tion. The varsity team was very unselfish and helpful towards our first freshman team. Captain Adrian Hill acknowl- edged They have great po- tential and high goals. I only wish there was a freshman team when I began.
