Songleaders Involved A Whole Lot of Wt I've wanted to be a cheerleade 79 e ' c 1 l c as long as I can remember junior Susan Handley. It seem easy, just a lot of jumping aroun smiling and all of a sudden 'Bam tant popularity right?' Wrong.' what I learned through my sear the pep squad, there's a lot mo cheerleading and songleading that knowing how to spell. There's a lot of hard work in ed. How would you like to get 1 4:30 a.m. and struggle to school hair curlers and no makeup? songleader Joy Williams. It's okay once you get to school. Everyone cheers you up and by the end of warm- up you feel you can conquer the world, or at least your first hour class, Now and again you hear some female jocks stating how they'd never be a cheerleader or songleader because they'd rather be out there par- ticipating instead of just being an over-excited spectator. The pep squad were more than just a bunch of bops. As a matter of fact, they worked just as hard as the players themselves. Most of the time at the end of a game, we're dripping with sweat from the big workout we just had. To be on the pep squad you also have to keep up your grades, and yes it does help to know how to spell.' Along with the regular pep squad, there was an addition to the Friday games this year. Two mascot cheerleaders Angie and Kelly from Fickett helped out the squad with their routines. They really helped out a lot and everybody loved them. 94 Organizations
