Cheers ain ew sponsor To be a good cheerleader you should be able to maintain your self-confidence, which simply means that you believe in yourself and your abili- ties. Your personal appearance is very important. You shouldn't be overweight or underweight, and you should try to be neat in personal habits as well as appearance. You should be prompt and dependable, loyal to the school and able to put duty above personal desires, always be a good sport, cooperate with everyone, and have a good scholastic standing. You must practice so that when you perform, your routines will look good. Your routines should be original, suitable, in good taste, and high in spectator appeal. The way you do your routines, adds to the spirit of the cheer. Routines should contain the following: lAl personality proiection, lBl self-confidence and poise, lCl rhythm and time ing, KDJ coordination of arm and leg movements with words, tEl voice quality and microphone ability, QFJ grace and variety of iumps, lGl pep ond enthusiasm, and lHl precision. Jumps should be an important part of all cheerleading routines, and they should get spe- cial emphasis from you in your practice sessions. When making new cheers, they should get spe- cial emphasis from you in your practice sessions. When making new cheers, they should be fun to say, and easy to understand. You should choose words that are understandable, and you should put definite motions to them. The motions for your cheers accomplish two purposes: I. They help the students say the cheer in the desired manner. 2. They help to convey the idea and meaning of the cheer. Successful pep rallies are well-planned, ade- quately rehearsed, and smoothly conducted. They built school spirit in the team and the stu- dent body. You should keep your rallies short, simple, and peppy. It your school has a lot of school spirit, the students will be proud of their school, their teachers, and their classmates. Your main iobs at the games are supporting your team, and knowing when and when not to cheer. You must choose a cheer that is right for the situation. All cheerleaders should work together as a team. Teamwork is the main factor in building school spirit. l y -J . ,. 3 5 Y 'im '..c 4 ' 'Af 1,89 ,,YL .
