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.

Pep Drill Pep, pride and pizazz by Roselie Vasquez Spirit and joviality are the prerequisites for membership into one of the most enjoy- able groups of students on campus. They are the Pep Club. These are individuals with the purpose of letting their green and gold pride shine through. The officers of the club ar- ranged various fund-raising activities during their meet- ings such as selling spirit mugs and balloons. This fun- loving group, known as the rowdies , supported all sports, and spent their past- times in the stands cheering on their school ' s teams with enthusiasm. Mr. Dave Bunch served as advisor. Their attitude can best be expressed by this unique cheer: If we weren ' t the rowdies, what would we be? If we weren ' t the rowdies, boring we would be! A Drill Team — Row 1: Captains Pam McCombs.

But the key to the Drill Team ' s success is showmanship. It is unusual to see so many teenage girls perform with confidence and synchronicity, but this year ' s poised squad was the epit- ome of perfectionism. Al- though advising such a large squad proved to be a chal- lenge, Miss Kavaya saw that the hard work in practice paid off when the team per- formed. Kelly Murphy commented that, Being on drill takes a great deal of time and pa- tience, but I ' ve gained tre- mendous confidence per- forming in front of large audi- ences. In addition, Dawn Bodner said, At times the team can be enjoyable, and at other times — hard, but the experience is worth all the time spent. V ■ there were to be crowned a king of the pep club, it is certain that the unanimous vote would be for Joe Gutierrez. This fun-loving senior stopped at nothing for the sake of school spirit as he disguised himself as a cheerleader during the CIF assembly.
