FOOTBALL SONG GIRLS. Marci Jenecke. Nicole Cosies. Jennifer Vi- dell, Lisa Rivera. Danae Opray. Nicole Frick. Photo by Jako's Portrait World. VICTORY They led both the football team and the basketball team to victory, that’s why they’re ... In the Front Row s the team scored, the song girls led the audience in an energetic victory cheer. Each game was a spectacle to behold as the song girls per- formed routines, some traditional and some brand new. While the foot- ball team had the best season in the history of the school, the football song girls were with them every step of the way. Likewise, the basketball song girls assisted the basketball team throughout the CCS play-offs. Throughout the season, the hard work and dedication that the song girls put into their routines was obvi- ous. The squad spent four days in cheerleading camp during the sum- mer, but the work wasn't close to be- ing over. Every day, the song girls spent over two hours at school prac- ticing. They went over each routine until the entire squad knew it cold, and then they went over it some more. Not only did they perform at the football and basketball games, they also participated in various rallies. At cheerleading camp, the song girls learned routines set to This is it”, Twist and Shout”, Rollin Down the River , and their camp fight song. Marci Jenecke expressed her opinion of camp, The thing I liked least about camp was the fact that there were twenty-eight girls from my school on my floor and we had to share three showers. Every member of the squad agreed that being a song girl is worth the hard work. This year was consid- ered the most spirited in a long time, and the song girls are proud of their contribution. Natasha Thomas said, Santa Teresa has become a more spirited school in the past four years, and I'm glad I was part of the spirit organization.” By Mike West. WRAP IT UP.

SPELLBOUND Cheerleading at rallies and games, the lettergirls have proved they can ... Twist and Shout aving an incredible season to cheer about, the varsity football lettergirls helped lead the school to victory. The squad practiced after school dai- ly during the season to learn seventy- five chants and cheers. Squad cap- tains Pam Cousineau and Jody Guel ran the show, but all eight members of the squad contributed their ideas to the routines. The squad admitted their job was made easier by the sig- nificant crowd participation. The crowd was so involved in the games. We had no trouble trying to cheer them up, stated Kris Vine. The squad felt lucky to cheer for the foot- ball team, and the crowd seemed pleased with the squad's efforts and enthusiasm. This was our best sea- son ever and I was proud to be cheering for such a great football team, commented Kim Perez. One could not tell it was this squad's first season together. The only returner was Sherry Wulfert, the squad captain. Michelle Ger- inger stated, At the beginning of the season we didn't know each oth- er and felt uneasy when we were all together. While at camp we learned to respect each other and once that was accomplished it was much easier to cheer. The team began to famil- iarize themselves with the routines and chants at camp, where they overcame many obstacles that stood in their way. Committed to cheering on the fans, the varsity basketball let- tergirls followed the team through a commendable season. The squad originally consisted of eight mem- bers, but Shelly Tomishima injured her knee and Kim Martin decided to focus more attention on school. Dur- ing the summer, the girls practiced everyday. Because of this enthusi- asm, the lettergirls were able to keep the crowds involved in the game. Our main effort was to get the crowd involved, stated Tina Jones. By Erin Powell. THE PYRAMID OF LIFE.

I enjoyed being on the squad be- cause I became more involved in the school, commented Jill Chavez. “It took some time but it all worked out in the end. Pholo by Alex Montes. Lettergirls OIL
