Spirit!! Spirit! What is it? Is it being psyched up for a game? ls it coming up with a winning score? ls it being the loudest class at a rally? ls it defeating Bartlett at the Thanksgiving Day game? For the Pioneers, it is the role of the cheerleader to promote spirit. This takes a lot of time and dedication. Aside from having practice after school and planning rallies, every week the cheerleaders have to deck the halls and lockers with decorations. Streamers of red, white, and metallic blue adorn the halls of SHS. Posters with phrases such as Eat 'em Alive and Scalp the lndiansn hang along the lockers. The question is, are these efforts really worth it? Are they a source of moral or just a tradition to be carried on by all cheerleaders? Are they appreciated, or just taken for granted? Cheerleaders feel that their efforts are taken for granted, while players say they really do appreciate the time and effort put forth by the squad. Although this argument could be de- bated back and forth, most students would agree that it takes a certain type of person to dedicate all of the time necessary to cheerleading. Practices start in June before the fall football season begins. The cheerleaders prepare themselves to compete at the USCA cheering camp during the summer. At camp they learn new material and cheering techniques to coordinate into their rou- The Varsity cheerleading squad demonstrates one of their choreographed routines during a half time performance. tines. Cheerleading is still not considered a sport by many. Regardless of how it is viewed, a cheerleader has to be just as dedicated as a football player, basketball player, or any other athlete. Perhaps it is harder, cheerleaders have to constantly keep a smile on their face. Ciosk Hits 1,000 On January 9, 1988 the SHS Varsity Basketball team was presented with a task - to beat the Auburn Dandies and clinch a lead in the Border Conference. With 31 seconds left in the second quarter, senior forward Christopher Gosk sunk a lay-up that sent the fans and team to their feet. Chris became the seventh player in Southbridge High history to enter the 1.000 point club. Plagued by an opening game ankle injury which kept Chris off the court for three weeks, he made a remarkable comeback and once again was able to contribute to the Pioneers cause. An outsider wouldnlt have known that Gosk was approaching such a milestone in his playing career. He exhibited control and team cooperation just like it was any other game. Chris played a superb first half and eventually led the Pioneers to an 83-82 victory over the Auburn Dandies. Above: Coach Walter Gosk presents his son with the 1.000 point club ball. Below: Chris is congratulated by all of his team members. i ufJml'ifEm-BITi'115?f11f!:5v ' fir Hariri 1: iififf Mini Mag 19

Nah, it's too hard to rig the thermometer. After pondering options for several minutes, you resort to the most definite, absolutely final source - a medical text- book courtesy of your sister in med school. Quickly flipping to the chapter entitled Diseases, you search endlessly for an ill- ness not serious enough to warrant an ex- cursion to your friendly family physician. i'Darn! you exclaim, slamming the cover shut and sinking into your bedspread. Hey! your mind screams, calling to your attention the possibility of a simple stomachache. Perfect! It fits all the re- quirements: l can stay out of school and the doctor's office. You wait in bed until your parents fling open the door to see what could be delay- ing you. Prompted by moans from be- neath your sheets, your mother rushes to your bedside, where you relate to her the painful details of your agonizing ordeal. As your parents' brows furrow in syn- chronization, your mind wanders to thoughts of reading that fantastic novel you've had on your desk since Christmas, eating chocolates you've hidden in the fridge, sipping freshly brewed herbal tea You gaze expectantly at your parents, Your mother says, l'm taking you to the doctor's. l'm afraid it might be appendici- tis. My performance was too convincing, you realize, as you watch your mother flush your hopes of freedom down the toi- let bowl of life as she lifts the telephone receiver.
