CHEEIQI : SDIIQIT We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how about you? The 1978-79 football cheerleaders showed a lot of spirit despite the 2-7 record of the team they backed. Cheerleading is much more than just showing up for the games on Fri- day nights. lt's doing a variety of un- usual things like secretly decorating the football players' locker room with encouraging and brightly colored signs before the big game. It's also having frequent pep assemblies to try to raise the spirits of both the team and the student body. The varsity and sophomore squads attended a summer camp at Knox Col- lege in C-alesburg to get new ideas on cheering and to learn new cheers. For four days these girls worked hard at learning new cheers, jumps, and mounts. Their hard work paid off when they were awarded the Spirit 1.

I3 ILDI I3 UIDTU DAD Girls' Golf This year has been a year of build- ing for the girl's golf team. Coach Ron Holmer comments, We've developed an internal competition within the team, and that's good. The girl's team has had to be built up from the bottom, says Coach I-lolmer, and this year's record of 3 and 7 is .. the best we've ever been since the begin- ning. Coach I-lolmer was very pleased with all of the girls' progress this past year. The girls work every night on their own during the week- ends. They've really devoted a lot of their time to the team, he said. The top player this year was Mary Baecke, freshman, who held her own in competition and made a lot of im- provements on her form. Coach Holmer says that all the girls did very well and that the fever is catching on for the girl's golf team. 1. Members of the IV team are Dave Ogle, Andy Aspelmier, Paul lvanowski, jeff Greer, Chris Janice, and Coach Damhorst fnot pic- tured are Todd Grove, Todd Bagatelas, and Dave Blunk.j 2. The Varsity team consists of Qfrontj Dane Marr, Eric Stiegel, Dan Salmon- son, and Dean Fletcher tbackj Rick Pobanz, john Shaubroeck, Greg Andersen, Coach Dam- horst. 3. Eric Stiegel lunges into a powerful backswing. The IV team had an undefeated season. Boys' Golf The guys didn't do very well this year, but the one bright spot on the varsity team was john Shaubroecke, senior, who finished first in the West- ern Big 6 .. but didn't make it to state as we hoped he would, said Mr. Roger Damhorst, coach for the boys' golf team. The JV team, however, was undefeated throughout the season, and Coach Damhorst says that there are about five or six sophomores that will be coming up next year who are very capable. Coach Damhorst likes coaching the boys because, he says, I like seeing young people come around and look forward to their improve- ments during the season.
