Fair Weather Fan Cheerleaders Inforce School Spirit. Many football teams often exper- ienced the devotion of fair weather fans, but there was a group of students who attended the game rain, shine, sleet or snow to cheer the team to victo- ry or defeat. This group was the cheer- leaders. Sharp red and white uniforms, red, blue, and white pom-poms and red ten- nis shoes added a polished image to months of hard work and dedication. During the summer, the fourteen girls dragged themselves out of bed at 6:00 a.m. to begin a grueling work out. These practices preceded the cheerlead- ing camp at Ole Miss on July 17-21. There the members of the squad learned new football and basketball cheers and out did the other cheerlead- ing squads by taking 14 superior rib- bons with their technique and image. At other contests such as the one held August 20 at the Southwest City Mall and the state competition October 1 at McCain Mall, the squad won numerous awards and took first place in state competition. Distinction, perfection, and pop are the main emphasis for the group. These characteristics and the hard work that developed them made the cheerleaders the consistent fans of the football and basketball teams. But what did the in- dividual get from cheerleading? Bobbie Brooks a junior on the squad states, Cheerleading is a challenge. It helps me to take on obstacles that are not normally there. It also gives me an experience because when you are a cheerleader you meet different types of people. Most of all cheerleading is exciting. You get involved with the teamg you laugh in victory and you cry in defeat. It's an experience I won't soon forget. Dedication to cheerleading and the school they represented helped the Lion cheerleading squad to uphold the image and reputation for spirit and ex- cellence that remained a constant tradi- tion.
