5'Y-e-l-l Everybody Yell, Go Orioles!” Uughh! That was a familiar sound to students who attended pep tests. It was heard when cheerleaders did splits. But it was not heard this year. The crowd was more enthusiastic for the cheerleaders at pep tests and games. Out they came in their new white basketball uniforms and new black sweaters for hockey and soccer. Oohs and ahs were heard when Sandy Brynteson. senior, and Kathy Drake, freshman, did back-handsprings. They made it all look so easy. How did they do it? We practiced cheers every Wednesday after school and we worked for five weeks in the summer, said Peggy LaHammer, sophomore. We came to games early to warm up too. Cheers weren’t the only thing they worked on. Paper footballs and soccer balls were made to put on the players' doors, and their houses were tp'd during Homecoming week. Car washes and candy sales were also held to pay for uniforms. The cheerleaders kept up their vocal support and pep fests and games were added proof of what talent, outfits and spirit can do. ■ Franco Weinberg and Sue Pro-hofsky laugh at the antics of some fans. 28 Cheerleaders

►Lynn Bjerkeng. Jackie Neal and Janine Kosel begin organization tor the Senior All Night Party. ▼The final information for announcements is placed upon the cafeteria bulletin board by Lisa Shedlov. Unseen, Unknown, But Certainly Never Silent An activity not well known in school was the Senior Board. The reason why, Kathy Hickman stated, We really didn’t do much that people notice, except, of course, the Senior All Night Party.” The Board’s advisor, David Linne commented, The Board kept a low profile and was low key. The main job of the Board was to organize the All Night Party. The students worked as a liaison between the parents and the teachers. Together they constructed an evening of fun for all who participated. Besides the party, the Board did have other things to accomplish. They were in charge of sending cards to school families who were in a state of mourning. They were also responsible for choosing this year’s graduation announcements. Earlier in the year they met with a representative from the company that was chosen by the school to provide the announcements and decided on the design. Lynn Bjerkeng summed it up when she stated The Board helped to make our senior year fantastic. Kathy Hickman and Kelly Clausen discuss the different designs possi-ble for the graduation announcements. 30 Senior Board
