Dallas, Here We Come! Make it great. It ' s gotta be first rate! This year ' s varsity cheer squad was just that. For the first time in Ken- nedy ' s history, they qualified for the National Cheerleaders Association Championships held in Dallas, Texas, on December 28. They won the first place trophy at the regional contest at Irvine High School to qualify. Asked about the Nationals, Head Cheerleader Lisa Haxton replied, Well, with all the excitement of competing in Dallas, I have seen everyone on the compe- titon squad working hard for a goal we all want to attain. Our squad has really come together as a team. Mrs. Ehrich, cheer adviser, was ex- tremely proud of the team: The girls are tremendous, hardworking, and dedicated. I enjoy the relationships that have formed. There was no doubt they achieved their goals. I hope our success this year will inspire the squad of next year to do as well or bet- ter than we have, said Jim Malone. •4 A ▲ Waiting for someone?
