Powderpuff Cheerleading Those few guys who were brave enough to put on a skirt and show off their legs really did a great job as the 1982 Powderpuff Cheer- leaders. They took time out to learn and prac- ti ce the cheers. They participated in a pep rally and performed cheers at the powderpuff Robert Clark, Richard Singer, Brett Wilson, and Matt Banet ame, topping it off with a pyramid. Hopefully, they started a tradition for the coming years. i§ ( mm ' Coach Ravelo finds out for himself. Richard Singer and Brett Wilson dance. Matt Banet looks into the crowd for approval.

Variety Show Lights dimmed, the crowd roared. University City High ' s first variety show began. The vari- ety show was filled with sixteen extremely en- tertaining acts, which varied from staff singing and dancing to a comedy skit by the Drama Club. Mrs. Mendoza, organizer of this year ' s variety show predicted an exciting outcome. She also commented on the exquisite talent of the performers. Students, as well as staff members worked long and hard to make this show a success and their determination was well expressed in their performances. Brian Duncan stood out among the other performers with an incredible piano solo, and The Press, a rock band formed by students from U.C. High, excited the crowd with an outstanding perfor- mance of The Rolling Stones ' Start Me Up . Despite Mrs. Mendoza ' s comment that the show was not well organized, the perfor- mances were a tremendous success. Maurice Johnson.

On The Job For many students, working meant extra re- sponsibility and maturity because of their role. Every student maintained their studies while keeping sensible work hours. Some student employees were enrolled in work experience, which allowed them to leave school early so they could work and still get credit for the time they were out of school. Students had jobs at various facilities like Jack- In-The-Box and other fast food restaurants. A big source of jobs was the University Towne Centre. Many were employed there and bene- fitted greatly from their jobs. It gave them a greater sense of responsibility, maturity, and independence. Tim Reeves; Union 76 Station.
