Fatigue, heat, sore feet and lost voices, though hindrances, didn t stop the J.V. Cheerleaders. These were some of the things the cheerleaders coped with while at Randolf Macon College during the previous summer. While at camp, they won, along with the varsity cheerleaders, 4 awards for spirit and an award for squad personality. On their own they earned “superior ribbons” for evaluation of the squad. The J.V. Cheerleaders then came to school to bring their class closer together with the spirit they developed at camp. Through bake sales, car washes, and poster making, they displayed their enthusiasm for their class activities. They supported and upheld the school teams with their confidence and spirit. Basketball Cheerleaders: Gigi Wasniewski, Debbie Simmons, Marian Moke, Carol Vietenthal captain, Lee Anne Herndon, Julie Kosnik — co-captain, Pam Mangum, Michele Musco, Dana Fanning. A spirited Susan Sentor, her first year at cheerleading, explodes with enthusiasm at the Fort Hunt game where Lake Braddock unfortunately lost 7-6. y Football Cheerleaders: First Row: Michelle Driscoll, Pam Digby, Kim Decker, Gloria Shepherd, Anne Walecka, Linda Gouveia, Pam Craig.

The term “Freshmen” didn’t hold the Freshman Cheerleaders back from showing the spirit and enthusiasm equal to that of the Senior class. For three years they consistently urged on their class to cheer, yell, and show spirit for the school. Through bake sales and car washes, the girls earned the money to help pay for their uniforms and participation in a cheerleading camp at the University of Maryland. At the cheerleading camp the girls won the “Spirit Stick” and the “Spirit Bell.” Other activities included decorating the two freshman subschools for games during each season, making signs for the lockers of the freshman teams’ members, decorating the team locker rooms each season, and giving T. A. parties for the members of the freshman teams. Even though crowds failed to come, the freshman cheerleading squad appeared to encourage the team on to victory. Clubs and Organizations 39

pi ic At Hayfield Therese Gerdon chats, while Sheri Carnahan watches and in the meantime, Sheri Clifford and Ann Couture smile and make eyes to someone in the stands. Stand up and holler!!. . . that was the spirit our varsity cheerleaders had through the “1975-76” season. They attempted to get everyone up on their feet, cheering before the halftime show came at the football and basketball games. After attending both a football game and a basketball game, everyone noticed that the two squads were different. Instead of having one squad cheering throughout the entire year, a change was made to include two. One squad cheered during football games and wrestling matches and the other during basketball and soccer games. Having two sets of cheerleaders gave more girls an opportunity to know what cheerleading was about. The girls worked hard leading everyone at pep rallies and trying to sell their quota of programs at the games; but most of all, they led us through the Lake Braddock sports season giving everyone the big B-R-U-I-N cheer!
