BELOW: MASCOTS — Demise Thomp- son and Julie Flynn. Cheer Rhymes and Paints I did three things this year, said Head Cheer- leader Beth Ann LeFebvre, Go to school, work at McDonald ' s, and make cheer posters. Oh yeah, I squeezed in sleep between three and four in the morning! Poster making was a large and daily behind- the-scenes activity for the fifteen-person squad. It took a week to paint the forty-five-yard poster for the Lakewood football game, and it took a rhym- ing dictionary to come up with such gems as — Lakewood ain ' t cool When Rams are in the pool, Or Wilson will scram When mighty Rams jam. ' ' Three men joined the women to break up the all-female squad of last year. Two of them, Chris Brown and Kurtis Eifert had to desert the mega- phone for the playing field during football season, however. Practice was worked in at odd hours since twelve of the fifteen worked part time.

RIGHT: HEADS Monique Parker and Karen Ruffell. Curlers, Cold Legs, and Jazz Kidettes attention . . . Get back in line . . . Music ' s on! These and other orders were often heard by the Kidettes. Under the leadership of Advisor Kathy Clark, IHeads Monique Parker and Karen Ruffell, Kidettes were a part of a new, jazzier scene as they performed to such popular tunes as Fame and Crazy Thing Called Love. Being in Kidettes was more than what people saw during rallies and halftime shows. Kidette practice meant 7:30 a.m. goose bumps, morning fog, hair curlers, and cold legs, said Stacey Bos. In addition to the morning practice there were also evening practices, the night before per- formances, that lasted up to three hours. But there was more to Kidettes than practice. They continued the tradition of football secrets. Every Wednesday night I looked forward to stay- ing up past midnight and baking for my secret because I was usually rewarded with a touch- down, said Teresa Ceja. Something new for Kidettes this year was drill team camp. Thirty-five of the Kidettes attended four-day college seminars on drills, routines, and marching technique where they won trophies and ribbons. ABOVE: UP AND AWAY!
