TH T CLASSIC STYLE . . . Gives the Cheerleaders That Extra Spirit No more alternating! The cheerleaders have been split up into two separate squads, the boys' varsity squad and the girls' varsity squad. The boys' varsity squad is sponsored by Mrs. Karen Lacefield, and the girls' varsity squad is sponsored by Ms. Kim Shouse. Both sponsors seem to think this Way is better organized. The cheerleaders feel it is easier, also. We know that we are to cheer at the boys' games only said boys' varsity team captain Ladonis Toney We know when the games are, and to be there. Girls' varsity team captain Amy Adams also thinks this way is better. The cheerleaders don't have to decide which game they are to cheer for, she said. Everyone seems to like this way much more. The cheerleaders have done many activities this year We did the Snow-Go Report on channel 27 news, said senior cheerleader Marie Crawford. All squads, includ- ing the freshmen squad, participated in this event. ,iff V22 T H ,,..,,,.. . ,ga , W.. ,,,.,,,,. .

THAT CT ,ASS IC STYLE . . . Gives the Cheerleaders Special Pep Power The cheerleaders give much pep to the crowd at the games. We work hard to keep the crowd in the games, said senior cheerleader Marie Crawford. Much time is spent in practices, competitions, and games. The cheerleaders work very hard during prac- tice, said boys' varsity squad sponsor Karen Lacefield. They practice in the afternoons, and before competi- tions, we practice on some weekends, and some nights. The girls' varsity cheerleading squad practices much also. We practice mainly in the afternoons after school, said girls' varsity squad sponsor Kim Shouse. Like the boys' varsity squad, during competition, we practice much more. Much time is needed to be a cheerleader. During games, many times cheerleaders do not get back until very late, and do not have much time for doing homework for the next day It takes a lot out of you, but to know you are backing the team, makes you feel proud, said Marie. The dedica- tion seems to get the cheerleaders through the hard times of the season, but having this dedication, and much spirit, is what it is all about. FRONT ROW: Lisa Gritton.
