Spirit- leader managers, Shelly Jones and Linda James, contributed to the success of the spiritleading squad Cbelowj. Crm J CL- Sli-ll The image of cheerleaders has changed a lot in 25 years. Below- the-knee skirts have been re- placed by minis, and even the name has changed. Spiritleaders at Air Academy did much more than simply lead cheers at foot- ball games: they were an impor- tant part of the school. Ginny Jeffries, captain of the squad, explained the role of a spiritleader, We tried to raise school spirit by supporting the school and sports. We helped Stu- dent Council, added to pep as- semblies, promoted team morale, and tried to set an example of spirit and achievement for others to follow. Although it was definitely a privilege to be chosen as a spirit- leader, learning cheers and put- ting together original routines was hard work. Ginny also said that the squad didn't always feel 'appreciated by the student body. lf people respected us for our hard work it would have felt more like a privilege. But we con- tinued to support the school be- l cause we enjoyed cheering. Junior varsity spiritleaders also had to devote a lot of time and energy to practicing and keeping their grades up. All the hard work was worth it, however, as soon as the crowd started to respond and get rowdy. Varsity Spiritleaders: CFrontJ Barbara Moore, Patti Marx, Linda Heath, Lisa Plante, Kris Reinert.
