Encouraging the junior Hornet lans to show their spirit, Karon Henry performs the Col Fight! Win! chant along with fellow cheerleaders. Belorehand, the girls awarded the most spirited with a decorated spirit cup filled with candy. The Fourth of July Parade in Maumelle was a good opportunity for the junior cheerleaders to present themselves for the first time as a new squad. F 4 I was really excited about my second year in cheerleading. When I decided to go out for co-captain, I was pretty nervous. We had to be in- I terviewed by the principals! Being co-captain was a big responsibility, but it felt good to know I was sup- porting our school, said Kim Col- clasure. .K tk L..xc. a M r .IUNIQR CHEERLEADERS.

RALLYI SUPPGRT CHEERLEADERS I THE THICK GF PREPARATIG S From tryouts in the spring to basketball games in the winter, cheerleading proved to be a year round sport. Not only did the cheerleaders support various teams at athletic events, they also sponsored other ac- tivities. The first Puttin' on the Hits competition was directed by the cheerleaders and the TAG clas- ses. There was also the preparation for the new recruits who would com- pete for squad positions in the spring. Being a cheerleader wasn't al- ways a joy. Long hours were spent in practice, both for games and clinics, and extra responsibilities fell to the girls in addition to rousing fans to support the teams. Signs, spirit cups, and intricate routines had to be produced for each pep assembly. Some weeks are harder than others to excite everyone for the game, but you can never get down about it. Overall, it's a lot of hard work, but worth it in the end, said captain Mi- chelle McBride. Whether they were rousing the crowd or sponsoring activities, the junior cheerleaders led an active life. With these activities, the cheerlead- ers' duty to support the Hornets kept them busy all year. Going through the motions with ecstatic smiles, Kim Colclasure and Christy Haynie perform as newly cho- sen members of the junior high cheerleading squad. Thirteen girls were selected at tryouts held in March to support the junior Hornets and rally them to victo- ry. Junior Cheerleaders
