Page IS Senior Comments CHRIS RAUCH LINEMAN "This is my fourth home coming and the experience has been terrific. I've played under Chuck Starr and John Sporseen, who I think are the greatest coaches a player could be under. I'm going to miss playing football for Hep pner, and next Friday, I'm going to play my guts out. I think the rest of the team will, too. Mustangs are number one." TOM SKOW BACK as one 01 ine siariers this year, you learn what a group of guys can do as a team. We lost our starting QB but we could still pull together as a team and still c have lots of fun." MARK PARKER LINEMAN "Sherman County is a tough team. People didn't expect us to do much this year, but I think we will surprise some more people, including the Hus kies." CARL CHRISTMAN RECEIVER "I feel Sherman County is a very good team and if we can squeeze by them, Umatilla had better be up for us. Our team would like a long season." JEFF CLTSFORTH RECEIVER "Sherman is a good team , but if we try hard, we will win." steve Mclaughlin back "We've improved since the first game a whole lot and we'll be up for the homecoming game enough lo hand them defeat on a fur lined platter." DAVE ALLSTOTT QB "I don't think we'll have any problem because of the way the team is improving each week." JOHN SCHILLER DEF. END "The Huskies are a good football team, but when we get done with them, they'll look like dogs." WAYNE SEITfc BACK "The Huskies are a good team, but if we put our heads together, I think we can beat them." MIKE SMITH LINEMAN "We've worked hard. I think we're in better shape and we can do job on the Huskies. We're heading for state." TIM DALY DEF. END "I think we're in better rhape this year than ever before and I think if we work hard and don't relax, we will win." Award winners !H Heppner's Mustang varsity cheerleaders are an aesthetic addition to the grid iron battles. While the Mustangs are doing or dying on the turf, five Heppner young ladies are symmetrically and harmoni ously engaging in their own war cries. Janice Healy, a junior, leads the five boosters in their weekly engagement with the warriors of the grid iron.

Practicing several times a week, along with every day during a school hour, the girls have built up a reputation as super cheer leaders with their yells, songs and routines. - The summer was a tough are Patti Saling, Shelley Thompson, Kristi Edmunsdson.

They walked off, er, bounced off with fourth place and the Spirit and Action Award. The group was Im pressive in the 18 squad camp. During the summer, the girls held a carwash, sold concessions and tickets at the fair and manned the gates. Trimly suited to their out fits, these five girls are a welcome addition to any school. Their evident pep, vigor and fire off the field has put them at the top of the Columbia Basin Conference cheerleading groups in both categories of good looks and good cheers.
