■ “I felt really good know- ing they were behind us, because they were all really good.” — Billy Kurowski Who’s the captain?” This was a question often asked by Varsity Cheer- leaders. Six seniors rotated as cap- tain “because we didn’t want to sin- gle out any one of two people to lead us when we felt all were equal in ability and leadership,” stated Debbie Albert. Practicing twice a week, the squad gained expertise and put into effect the skills learned at the Na- tional Cheerleaders Association Fall One — Day Clinic. Twelve of the four- teen girls attended this clinic, many of whem won ribbons and trophies. Besides the required basketball and football games, the squad cheer- ed for girls basketball and wrestling matches. They were also responsible for planning and performing assem- blies, and participating in community and school projects. When asked what made this year different the girls responded that the student body was more unified; they followed more closely and together. They add- ed that the students were enthusias- tic because they knew more cheers. Mrs. Ana Dembo, sponsor, said that she was a cheerleader all through high school and has seen many championship teams but “This one ' s the best.” 16
