BASKETBALL by Brenda Lalfreniere This year's Junior Varsity may very well be one ofthe best Westwood High School has ever seen. Although their record wasn't very impressive, Mr. Ghiardi said, There were very few bad games this sea- son. The games we lost were lost by only two or four points including Manistique, Norway, and Munisingf' Mr. Ghiardi commented on the fact that there are no tournaments for Junior Varsity teams. I really wish there were tournaments because I feel confident that the team would do very well and concentrate on play- ing good ball as they have in the last few games. Of the season, Mr. Ghiardi had this to say, Every member of the team contributed to our success. I enjoyed working with all the guys and think it was a rewarding experience for them, too.

THE CHEERLEADERS: 1979-1980 By Kathy Korpi This year was a good year for the cheerleaders. They kept the fans spirited at all games, and worked hard all year on cheers, posters and other activities. They sold Westwood buttons to send varsity cheerleaders to cheerleading camp. This is what Ms. l-lronkin, the cheerleading advisor, had to say about the cheerleaders: These young women have progressively improved since the beginning of the year. They are cooperative, enthusiastic and willing to put forth the extra effort for the benefit of all. With a bit more vvork, they have the potential of becoming the most gymnastically talented group of cheerleaders in the area. They constantly strive to become more sensational in their performance and set their goals to reach perfection. ln the beginning of the year Joann Dolkey reported that the Varsity squad was doing pretty good so far and everything is going O.K. Ms. Hronkin helps out a lot and is doing a good job. The Varsity team is comprised of Joann Dolkey, Karla Mattson, Sue Anderson, Patty Antilla, Alesia Joki and Sara Lahtela. The Junior Varsity team is comprised of Becca Zhulkie, Kathy Pesola,Kathy Barry, Julie Dix, Joleyn Moyle and Beth Bivers. The Freshman squad is comprised of Shelly Bivord, Diane Hamari, Carrie Kindstrand, Lisa Millimaki, Betsy Nault, and Sonia Niemi. 132 Sports kr W V K B ,..a. filing 3
