if The old saying practice makes perfect was something Michelle Morgan learned this year. She had to spend hours a week, on her own, practicing and learning routines and cheers she was expected to know for Pep Club.

82 girls . . . thot's o hondful the more support the better H-O-R-N-E-T-S!! North Little Rock, Oak Grove!! Let's Go! These very familiar words came barrelling from the mouths of 82 cheering girls as they showed their support for the junior high teams. Pep Club brought out many girls who wanted to share the junior high cheerleader's experi- ences in cheering their teams on to many victories and being there dur- ing the times of defeat. The Pep Club organized itself for the first time at Oak Grove this year. The Pep Club performed in the stands at both football and basket- ball games. There were 82 girls at the begin- ning of school. Almost two-thirds of the club was made up of 8th grade .r -Uv 1sgs 5 t, K- Q ii' .1-, A - A . '-.' S A 1 I K girls who wanted to lift the spirits of the athletes. We really had fun. I felt like now my friends really knew I cared because I was at their games cheering them on, said Abby Holt. I will handle it a lot differently next year, said Mrs. Steele. Limiting membership is the first thing I'm going to do. Because there were so many, Mrs. Jennifer Steele, the cheerleading sponsor, had a lot of changes to be made for next year. I hope with much plan- ning and preparation, Mrs. Steele said, that in a few years Oak Grove's Junior High Pep Club will be Oak Grove's Junior High Drill Team. That's what I'm working towards. Homeroom seemed to be the only time Mrs. Steele could get all of the Pep Club girls together and then only once a week. On that day, the girls worked on everything they could. They perfected all the hand and feet movements and coordinat- ed their pom-pon drills. The work seemed like nothing compared with the good feeling I got everytime we performed, said Kris- ti Wallace. Starting something new is al- ways difficult, but the 8th grade girls on the Pep Club helped make this task easier on Mrs. Steele. Pep Club will continue for years to come, but this year's Pep Club can say they were the first.
