Gltms-beviintgj with ssttvlo umbling, climbing and shouting, the performances of the JV and varsity cheer squads was a familiar sight as they carried out their duty: to spread spirit. We really have fun together and get a lot of mixing of ideas, said Varsity member Melinda Edwards. Weekly 6:30 a.m. practices started early in the summer in preparation for the school year. We started out the year with no sponsor and so we set those summer practices ourselves: we actually set them for 5:30 a.m. It gave us an idea of the responsibility we had taken on, said varsity cheerleader Julie Jones.

Both squads appreciated Mrs. Susan Taylor for her help with camp and Miss Tacy Shepherd for being a great sponsor.
