A New Spirit by Ken lmaizumi saying goes. Well, this year SMHS Varsity Cheer squad started competing under the combined leadership of adviser Linda Weston: captain Rima Salman, and co- captain Shelia Gorton. The squad competed at the Na- tional Cheerleading Association competition in November where they placed second. In addition to competing, they were featured in a segment of the popular television show, San Diego at Large, hosted by Larry Himmel. Not only was there a change in what the team did, but there was a change in the way it was done, Cheerleading is a great sport, that is not necessarily composed of flakey, bubble-headed blondes.
