Annual And Traditional Sophie Problems And Hendrickson Award Come With Gpening School opened with a surprise for many Westwood students this year. The surprise was created by West- wood's new look , a project to renovate the campus. These renovations included: a new snack bar, a larger cafeteria, repainted benches and a partially completed library. In addition, custodians took great pains to re- plenish the forgotten grass, with their help our green friends returned. Classes started with the normal amount of expected jitters, but students soon found their way around our rearranged campus. Westwood started the year on a good foot with the reception of the Hy Hendrickson award for overall excellence, in sports, academics, drama, speech, and debate. Westwoodls incomparable spirit was quickly sparked into a reality as the sophomores added their newly found outlet for energy by joining the juniors and seniors in backing their teams. Without the fans, Westwood could not be the top school in the state. It was the hope of this years graduating seniors that Westwoods future generations will continue that tradition.

Cheer Pom And Cheer Work Magic On Spectators Keeping with tradition, Westwood's Pom and Cheer have been successful in igniting the Warrior spirit drive once again. Spurring the Warriors on their way to victory were the irrepressible cheerleaders, who kept the Westwood spirit alive. Mrs. Laurie Zarkou, cheerleading sponsor, aided the girls in making spirit signs in order to fire up the spirit . The Warriorettes kept all the restless Warriors happy with the help of Mrs. Connie Harris and their well per- formed dance productions. As well as capturing and holding interest at football and basketball games, the Warriorettes represented Westwood at the Fiesta Bowl Parade and A.S.U. Band Day. They also competed lo- cally against other pom lines in Mesa's Annual Veter- ans' Day Parade. In all these competitions the Warri- orettes displayed their over abundance of spirit and talent. In addition to performing the Warriorettes, along with band, raised money by selling cheese, sausage and candy. Both the Pom and Cheer aided Westwood in becom- ing one of the biggest spirit raisers around. These girls proved to be a valuable part of Westwood.
