A Little Experience Draws Everything Together Sometimes it seems as if JV and Freshmen Cheerleaders are over- shadowed by the more experienced Varsity squads, simply because the Varsity sports are more popular. “I personally can’t see any dif- ference,” reflected Leslie Welch. We fulfill basically the same purpose; to spread spirit.” Linda Duffield added, “Because most of the JV athletes are sophomores and juniors, they appre- ciate having someone in their own age group to cheer them on.” Ann Korton, a Freshman Cheer- leader, observed that, walking around in my uniform on a game day, kids come up to me and ask where the game is. They want to go and support their teams. On the other hand, the more experienced squads are a source of assistance to the younger ones. In order to choose an appropriate cheer. Betsy Lahey contemplates the action of a JV football game, the only one played during the night. When you are cheering through the years, you get help from older and more experienced people,” stated Jean House, a freshman cheer- leader. “Being on the JV squad, I hope I can make varsity even though there is a lot of competition,” FUN FACT: During an average game, a cheerleader claps approximately 1628 times. said Peggy Marquardt. I just like it,” pondered Kelly Webster, I’ve gotten a lot more out- going and relaxed around people because of cheering. Besides, its fun to support your school. Homecoming week was busy for Cheery and I. I was stuffed top to bottom with crepe paper, signs, cutout football players, candy, gum and so on for the jocks' lockers. Thursday night she and her friends went to decorate the jocks' houses, although they first stopped at the bonfire to add some spirit. That was a mistake, for a moronic sophomore was throwing fire- crackers and one hit Cheery. The same cretin insulted prominent student con- gress members and threatened to ignite them. Cheery and friends then went to Huntington Woods to have a few beers before decorating. Another mistake, because in their weakened condition, they defaced the wrong house. Several Bay Police cars surrounded them and hauled them away, as Mr. Loomis came out in his shorts yielding a blunderbuss. As Mr. Martin would say. Kids, yer gonna get clobbered! They already were, more ways than one. Saturday night, after the dance. Cheery and her inebriate date went to Pier W with half the school, whereupon the date passed out on his steak. Cheery and I were glad when the whole thing was over. Cheerleaders Organizations
