Cheerleaders platoon for sports In an important change from the previous year, when members of the drill team doubled as cheerleaders, cheerleaders were again elected by talent evaluation and popular vote. Four different squads cheered for football volleyball, girls’ basketball. boys’ basketball and wrestling. This assured that all sporting events would have cheerleaders to support them. As in the past, spirit started off with a bang and then slowed way down. Head Cheerleader Laura Schroeder reflected. At the begin- ning of the year spirit was tremendous. but then students seemed to lose interest. Spirit buses were cancelled and fewer students cheered at the games.’’ The cheerleaders had no bearing on the loss of school spirit. They scheduled pep assemblies on a regular basis and displayed spirit posters before every sporting event. Following student body voting on May 12. 13 girls earned positions as cheerleaders for the 1980-81 school year. Chosen as football volleyball cheerleaders were Lisa Abrames, Carolyn Backstrum, Regina Lord, Karen McManus. Kati Newsom and Kara Saldeen. Abrames, Backstrum, McManus and Karen Buffum will lead the cheers for boys’ basketball. Lori Burcaw, Janelle Fletcher, Lidia Haughey and Belle Morris will cheer for girls’ basketball. Cheering for wrestling will be Lord. Newsom, Jenny Godbolt and Karla Porter. Cheerleaders 17
