Songleaders did dance routines to music played over the public address systems at pep rallies and sports events. I enjoyed being a songleader because I got to go to all the football and basketball games, said Mindy Reece. I got to cheer all our teams on to victory. I also met a lot of people, both at our school and at other schools we ' ve cheered at. We also went to the football, basket- ball and soccer banquets, to help set up and just to support our teams. Some songleaders enjoyed being on the squad because of the opportunities for self- espression that the dance routines provided. I feel I can express myself, said Kelli Harter, a JV songleader, while I have a lot of fun performing. Mrs. Sue Lacoste, squad sponsor, was pleased with the new group ' s progress mastering cheer and song routines and im- proving school spirit. I really think that the songleaders, for a first year team, really did a great job, she said. The girls really worked well together. SPIRIT SQUAD. FRONT ROW: Elizabeth Jones. Gwendolyn Goul.

GO, TEAM, GO! Momka Jones leads :hecrs at the first JV boys baslcetball home game. C onveying excitement skill of cheerleaders i SJ 7 f ff out to get a victory VV was one of the year ' s most popular cheers, according to the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders liked to think the cheer was appropriate: at least part of the athletic team ' s success was due to school spirit — and to cheering. Cheerleading is a very fun and active sport for me, said sophomore Sherie Dixon, a Cougar mascot. It took a lot of time and practice, but most of all a lot of energy. I believe that the pep rallies really got the stu- dents into school spirit. I hope that the students enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed doing it. According to Dixon, cheerleading involves a lot of responsibilities and requires more than just to be able to have fun. Being a mascot, she added, made her feel she was an important part of the cheerleading squad. I love cheerleading, she said, and I hope that a lot of people can experience it during their high school years. Cheerleading is a very exciting sport, Elizabeth Akins agreed. It ' s hard being the first cheerleaders of a new high school, but I enjoyed sup- porting our winning athletic teams.
