Griffins burn in Cougar spirit 1 Spirit Club promoted spirit early. The first week of school brought spirit week with Blow up the Griffins, Overhaul the Griffinsf' and Death of the Griffins days. The Cougar Day Parade through Shawnee ended at NW with the traditional bonfire and the burning of the Winnetonka effigy. Reflecting this theme of killing Winnetonka, the best decorated car in the parade was appropriately judged to be the Death Mobile, engineered by Flick Halstead and Jeff Martin. All this enthusiasm paid off the following night with a 20-0 Cougar victory over Winnetonka. Spirit Club sponsored both spirit week and the parade. A membership in Spirit Club included aT-shirt, entrance to all pep assemblies, and free bus rides to away games. Marilyn Kennedy was sponsor. 22 Spirit club Lililill?

Eight busy girls new to varsity Being a varsity cheerleader has made my senior year very special. All eight of us get along great, and I think it's because none of us have ever been on varsity before. . . it's all new to each one of us. It is a big responsibility and many times I feel as though I'm going in thirty different directions. We have events to go to at least three times a week, which leaves very little time for homework or anything else. We are constantly busy, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. tKelly Koeller, captainj The varsity squad took third place all-around in the Grand Championship Division at the Summer Cheerleading Clinic. They received awards in the areas of super spirit, sparkle and shine, mounts and pyramids, and blue ribbon ex- cellence. They were also awarded an E+ on their competi- tion mount, which was the highest award ever given for mounts. Yell leaders were back on the scene to help the cheerleaders get the crowd together during the football season. Janice Miller was sponsor. v xx Q - Q X3 .
