Arousing Spirit Cheerleaders are chosen every year at O.J Actis to bring school spirit to Pep Rallies and after school games. This year the cheerleaders that were chosen are Nicole Mettler, Lawren Everinghann, Shel- ley Goodell, Shelly Borgsdorf, Lori Prit- chett, all eighth graders, and Tisa Meek, the only seventh grader. There are frus- trating times to being a cheerleader such as the times when our team was going for extra points and all the cheerleaders made a pyramid right in the in zone. Were we embarrassed! stated Lawren Ever- ingham. The head cheerleader, Nicole Mettler, said, The hardest thing about being a cheerleader is having everything organized and everyone doing the same thing. The drill team made up of 32 girls marched in all the parades along with the varsity and cadet bands. Michelle Backer, one of the drill team members stated, It ' s hard keeping everyone organized but we do very well. This year new rifles were purchased for some of the drill team members. The drill team performed in the Veteran ' s Day Parade, and the Christmas program, where they acted out a special skit to the Parade of the Wooden Sol- diers. 34-Cheerleaders
