Young And Enthusiastic! Although there are a lot of good things to say about cheerleading, it requires hard work and time. But the Freshman cheerleaders don't seem to mind it a bit. It's much easier to get involved and l like showing spirit for the school, stated Mindy Peterman when asked what she likes about being a cheerleader. Delinda Chapa, also a freshmen cheerleader, said that sometimes its a lot of responsibility being the captain of the squad, but other times it's great! There was responsibility on all of the cheerleaders. They practiced everyday during the summer and after school. They also attended cheerleading camp at Colorado State University. The camp lasted for three days. It was fun and a lot of work, but we learned a lot, remarked Mindy Peterman. Their hard work was Freshman cheerleaders: itop to bottoml Mindy Pe- terman, Leslie Patrick, Andrea Powelson, Niffie Bascom, Delinda Chapa shown by the awards that they received. On the first day they were rated superi- or , which is the highest award they could receive. On the two remaining days, they were rated excellent. It was then that they began to show that they were a real part of Green lVlountain's squad instead of just a mere after thought. Some people don't consider the freshman squad important, but showing their skill and enthusiasm as they do, they are impossible to ignore. Three out of the five members are vet- eran cheerleaders, Mindy Peterman, Les- lie Patrick, and Andrea Powlson, all of them being on the Dunstan squad last year. One thing they all agree on it that they have gotten much closer since working together and rest assured, next year they will add talent and enthusiasm to which ever squad will be lucky enough to get them. What's goin' on guys?! Delinda, Andrea, and Leslie are hard at work. Pose for the camera Freshman Cheerleading 93

Cn Their Way Wherels the best Junior Varsity cheer- leading squad in the state? Green Moun- tain, that's where. In fact, our J.V. squad has reached the caliber of many varsity squads throughout Colorado. Cheerlead' ing camp will be remembered by all be- cause they were the only J.V. squad to make finals, despite losing Barb Lynn, team captain, after she injured her knee while practicing a jump. When it was con- firmed that Barb would not be able to cheer, it took a supreme effort on the part of the other squad members to re- group and reorganize their entire routine. Although they were at a disadvantage, their skill and pursuit of excellence shined when they were the only J.V. squad to make it past the semi-finals and into the finals. As well as being work, cheerleading is also expensive, so the cheerleaders hope to arrange a bake sale to help take care of the squads expenses. Some guys that the cheerleaders are especially fond of are the sophomore football team. The football team is fond of the cheerleaders, showing their appreciation by buying the cheerleaders necklaces and charms and flowers at every game. As Heather Col- lard says. Thanks for the flowers.
