Starting Out Right $0 ' ,cet 6 s by M. Wester and L. Miller One of Seaholm ' s newest addi- tions in 1985 was the formation of the Varsity Soccer Cheeriead- ing Squad. The squad was primar- ily formed because of interests by soccer team members for a squad of their own. The cheerleaders went through a series of tryouts to make the squad and also spent time working together as a unit at cheerleading camp. The participants of this new cheerleading group were led by captain Susan Hufford and joined by male cheerleader Rocky Ro- land. The other squad members were Ann McElfrish, Tracy Rusin, Michelle Weir, Lee Hammond, Lynn Sherwood, Erin Netzloff, and Tina Albright. The addition of a male cheer- leader also spiced up their perfor- mances. With the help of senior Rocky Roland, the squad was able to perform more strenuous and physically demanding mounts as well as partner stunts. According to some of the squad members, male cheerleaders could greatly aid the performances of other Seaholm cheerleading squads in the future. The new cheerleaders prac- ticed outdoors after school for an average of six hours a week. Soccer cheerleading squad mem- ber Tracy Rusin reflected upon the squad ' s season. Without the feeling of togetherness that we were able to develop at camp, our attitudes would have been differ- ent and we would not have been If it weren ' t for the enthusiasm and partic- ipation of all squad members, our first cou- ple of performances and the rest of our season would not have been as rewarding and successful! Susan Hufford able to achieve as many success- ful performances. Using many original cheers, the cheerleaders performed at all varsity and junior varsity soccer games. Cheerleader Michelle Weir best summed up the squad ' s feelings towards cheerleading, Being a member of the cheer- leading squad helps one to get involved with school activities and support Seaholm school ath- letes! Captain Susan Hufford added, The squad had a lot of enthusiasm which enable us to develop new energy to help make the first year of varsity soccer cheerleading a really big suc- cess. The varsity soccer cheerlead- ers were a superior addition to the school cheerleading program. Judging from the spirit and to- getherness that this new group generated, the squad will be a welcomed part of the program for years to come. Thrusting their fists Into the air, Susan Hufford.

Cheering- More Than Looks by C. VanderBrug and D Quinn Let ' s go! Maroon! is one of the many cheers that can be heard echoing out of the Seaholm courtyard during the spring cheerleading tryouts. This time of year can be especially tense for underclass- man cheerleaders, because many of them have never cheered before. The tryouts and cheer- leading itself are very tough. It ' s a lot more difficult than we get credit for, attested Gwen Rob- ison, JV captain. Watching the rigorous tryouts, one sees what resembles a Broad- way tryout. There are about one hundred girls all trying out for thirty spots under the watchful eyes of Susan Bosart and Janice Mann, the cheerleading coaches. This competition goes on for three days. Then they ' re given a week to rehearse the cheers they learned and make up a cheer of their own to perform alone in front of a panel of judges. Recalling her tryout experi- ence, Sandy Song said, The final tryout was so scary for me, mainly because 1 was a freshman and had never done anything like that before. JV cheerleader Lisa Hill added, First the judges tell you what cheers they want to hear and you do those cheers, then you What you look like has nothing to do with cheerleading, it takes a lot of coordination, balance, concentration and most of all, dedica- tion. People never get to see how much time we put into it. Laura Farrington Freshman cheerleader Susan Catto ra- diates energy as the squad enthusiastically cheers on the freshman basketball team to victory pholo by Paul Donar The freshman cheerleaders show their agility as they skillfully display a difficult mount at an away game against Ferndale. photo by Paul Donar have to do your own cheer and after that ... 1 guess you just sit down and pray you made it. These tough tryouts produce the fine cheering that is heard at every JV and frosh game. In fact, the JV was so good this year they placed sixth out of twenty-seven in a competition in which the winner got to cheer at a Pistons game in the Silvcrdome. Cheerleading isn ' t a social club, it takes a lot of sweat and hard practicing, just like the football team. We start in the summer by going to cheerleading camp but we don ' t stop then, we cheer all year long! stated Kelly Wilkes. The freshmen have to work just as hard, if not harder, because of being so new to cheerleading. As Kristin Longnecker said, Freshman cheer- leading is really a building block type of thing because none of us have really ever cheered before. 48 FRESHMAN CHEERLEADING
