Our Spirit Is Sl y High Boy are we enthusiastic. We are feeling G- 0-0-D, cheered the eight members of the J.V. Cheerleading squad. Their kicks, flips, jumps, and pyramids combined with an assortment of catchy cheers helped to excite a crowd that came to cheer their team on to vi ctory. Each girl was a different individual who pro- jected her own personality and expression in stylized cheers and chants. Laney ' s alto voice could be heard throughout the stadium (even without a megaphone) shouting, Let ' s go big blue. Jenna Scarafone ' s back handspring dis- played the perfection of an acrobat. The purpose of these eight highly motivated girls was to get the crowd ' s adrenalin flowing at football and basketball games and also at pep rallies. This they did when they led the crowd with easy to remember cheers that encour- aged the fans to clap their hands and stomp their feet. It undoubtedly inspired the teams to give just a little bit more. The girls had much devotion. Our squad this year worked together as one and we devel- oped many special friendships! commented Head Cheerleader Sue Ventimiglia. Lara Klein replied, A good cheer squad succeeds in pro- moting school spirit if they do it without think- ing that they are better than everyone else. ...u,a . 3iLJ;.-, Top row: Laney Beres, Jenny Lees, Beth Nadeau.

Ptiil DeMarco Fishermen Angle For Results It was enjoyable to be a member of a group of people who have the same interest and hob- bies. commented Kevin Knox, President of the UC Castmasters Fishing Club. The club has been successful and active for three years due to the close friendships that have developed. The friendships I ' ve made have been well worth the catchless fishing trips, said Kevin Knox. The Fishing Club met every Monday and Fri- day during lunch to plan their upcoming fishing trips. One of the many trips taken was to the Salton Sea, where the Club camped out and fished for several days. When there wasn ' t a fishing trip planned, small groups would get together and go to Mission Bay to salt water fish, said advisor Mr. Reed. All in all the Cast- masters Fishing Club had a prosperous year. U.C. fishermen are awaiting the fishing paradise. Mike Stewart displays his dinner while Mr. Reed already starts on his.
