Elections were held as the students dressed up and put on acts showing their class how they planned to help out in school activities. Speeches ranged from imitating, as Jim Gilliland did, succeeding in winning the presidency, to defining the meaning of a speech, as did Trudy Klepinger. A tie between Trudy and Stacey Davis, who imitated the wild and crazy Steve Martin, was declared after elec- tions. The final winner after decisive voting was Trudy as the new vice president. The new secretary was Laurie Kleck and the offices of publicity were taken by Trulee Button and John Lines. As the newly elected officers gathered at the student council meeting, they were proud to lead the class who chose them. The officers made the year very successful due to their enthusiasm and determination to do the best job they could in leading a newly established but already promis- ing class to three years of spirit.

Pom Promotes Pepg Cheer Gets Rowdie The great amount of attentive supporting fans was the key to Westwood's many victories. Continuously leading the enthusiastic crowds were the cheerleaders and War- riorettes, with their splits, kicks, and smiles. Both the Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders squads formed a variety of precision-sharp steps while shouting out cheers to boost the spirit of the warriors. 'Get on the Good Foot' and 'Rowdie' were favorites of both the audi- ence and the cheerleaders, which was proven by the joining shouts of many voices. Each game day, the cheer- leaders supplied cupcakes in recognition of the football players. After long hours of time and effort devoted to early morning and after school practices, the hard working Warriorettes performed dances of many fashions during the football pre-games and half-time, and some home basketball games. Other activities consist of marching with the Warrior Band in parades and being judged on band day at ASU, where superior ratings were received. During the summer, the girls attended pom camp at NAU. The pom and cheer lines promoted spirit throughout the whole year not only during sports activities, but at pep rallies and assemblies. 26 Pom 81 Cheer
