' Rah Rab Spartanfjllotzfforf An entire season of Spartan athletic events was supplemented by the presence of Stevensonis two cheer- leading squads. The varsity cheerleaders presided at all the varsity football and basketball games, and the junior varsity cheerleaders presided at the reserve games. Their presence and performance at these games accented and directed the efforts of the Spartan fans to support the teams. The two squads combined efforts at the pep assemblies, where, either separately or together, they inspired the studentry to display their enthusiasm. Before they were selected, the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders spent many hours in vigorous train- ing practicing the basic cheers and perfecting their style and form. Afterwards, they had to spend time practicing D i l as a squad in order to be able to perform their routines at the games and assemblies with the necessary sym- metry, timing, and form. The wide range of situations that occurred at the games called for an extensive repe- toire of cheers to direct the enthusiasm of the fans at every occasion. For this reason, the cheerleaders of both squads were continually developing new cheers. One of the varsity routines seen at many of the pep assemb- lies, was the Choo-Choo cheer, newly devised this year. The varsity squads from rival schools joined forces during their half-time rest. Displaying the form and precision that hours of practice alone could produce, the varsity cheerleaders held a pose. In the front row were Linda Matthews, Gladeen Roberts, and Suzy Pearson. Backing them were Kris Paul, Kathy Nycamp, Debbie Mc- Manaway, Cheryl Wheeler, and Gail Saunders. The junior Varsity cheerleaders prepared many formations and rou- tines to encourage the reserve game fans in their cheering. The cheerleaders were Randy Morrell and Yvonne Bonnef, supported respectively by Denise Balla and Cindy Roberts, Dindy Canfield and janet Thomas.
