Eight Is Enough When the stands and bleachers were emptying, eight girls remained to shout one last cheer. Through wins and losses they tried to keep one last flick- er of enthusiasm alive. Bad weather, laryngitis, and injuries didn ' t stop them from supporting their team. Who were these devoted fans? They were the spirited few chosen to be on the junior cheerleading squad. After being chosen, the girls began practicing, but not all practices were held at school. Over the summer the girls traveled to the University of Au- burn campus for their annual cheer- leading clinic. There they learned a va- riety of new cheers, chants, mounts, and pom pom routines. This squad decided to do something new to promote enthusiasm among the junior football players by having a mini pep rally before every game. You would find the girls in the lobby imme- diately after school cheering the boys on to their next victory. The dream of becoming a cheer- leader is present in many, but for these girls, it became a reality. Junior Cheerleaders 83
