We,Ve got spirit RAH! RAH! RAH! This year's cheerlead- ing squad is one of the most spirited this school has had for a number of years. These twelve girls cheered at every volley- ball and basketball game both home and away. The squad began prac- ticing in June when they attended a UCA Cheer- leading camp at the Uni- versity of Florida, They did exceptionally well, winning awards for spirit and most improved squad. When school he- gan in August they im- mediately started Mon- day through Thursday practices. They have been very active in fundraising for new uniforms. They sold country craft items at Christmas, and sold spirit ribbons for major rivalry games. They have also made sure playerst lock- ers were decorated the day of games. They even baked chocolate chip cookies to give to the players after their games. Although all the cheer- leaders are special, only one is lucky enough to be chosen captain of the squad. The girls this year elected eighth grader Ien- na Streett because she is a strong leader and has worked with cheerlead- ing for many years. Her responsibility is to make sure the girls know the cheers, know when to cheer and know where to line up. Yes, SHMS cheer- leaders do have spirit, yea, yea! Front: Kristen Hefti.

44 t Cheerleaders Mrs. Skiratko is the cheerlead- ing coach. Although this is her first year in that position, she has had a lot of experience with cheerleading. She was a Cheer- leader in high school and at the University of Iowa. In addition she has judged cheerleading try- outs at Clearwater High School for the past several years. I am so proud of these girls. They are the best group we have ever had. I really enjoy being part of the athletic program, and cheer- leading is a part of athletics!

Coach Kuzniewski has been the boys' volleyball coach for the past three years, and each of these years his team has won a conference title. Last year's team won the north Pinellas Conference Championship. In this his fourth year, he thinks the team will again win the title, but the competition they will have to watch out for is Tarpon Springs and Kennedy. lama um hall 1 Will f j V t W mat. l 9, .. tn , Front Row: Daryl Krumsieg, Kelvin Cowart, Erik Nicholson, Brian Iohnson.
