QN THE IDELINES l l l Spirited fons stand out from the crowd hey stood out in a crowd. They lived red, white and blue, cover- ed with ribbons and buttons. But no one had to read the bill boards they wore to know what they were: they let you know. Their voices were the ones that were heard above the buzzing of everyday conver- sations. They were the ones on the sidelines. When the first bell rang on Tuesday, Thursday, or Fri- day, they were making their way to the gym, preparing for hoarse throats and sore hands. But the morning's wildness was just a prelude to the coming night. The band was barely audible over the yelling and screaming, but the clapping was somehow syn- chronized as the fight song was played. They yelled as they led or were led through cheers and clapped through all of the go team go's. And when they heard the familiar chords, they sang of inspiration and pride, while they stared into a sea of upraised fingers. Each was a part of a team. There were no set rules.

The members of the Pep Club, consisting mainly of sophomores were among the loudest of PV fans, donned in white sweaters, gloves, and fall-American blue jeans, they ,made every game and every player feel like a winner. At some of the less controversial games they were often the main source of spirit for the team. After surviving at least a year of remaining in rows on the bleachers and urging the Patriots to make that point, or to shoot for two, some Pep Club members decided to further their careers as pro- fessional fans and become PV Cheerleaders or Liberty Belles. Becoming a cheerleader required weeks of condition- ing, clinics and often produc- ed abdominal butterflies by the dozen. But the work paid off as the cheerleaders led in shouts of sophomores, jun- iors, seniors, and finally a triumphant Patriots! Being a cheerleader is fun, said Ginger Phillips, junior, but it's an expensive kind of fun that takes a lot of work. The route to becoming a Liberty Belle was much the Cont. page 97 T0 THE POINT.
