f Cheerleaders Bubbling with enthusiasm and successfully stimulating school spirit, Ballou's cheerleaders are heard near and far chanting that old familiar- Hey! Hey! Hey! Ballou Knights- Are Outa Sight!! Under Captains Lorna Watson and Charlotte Campbell, these nine bouncy Ballou Knights, consisting of five seniors and four juniors, put forth every ounce of energy at each game to lead the school on and give our team their wholehearted support. Off the football field or the basketball court, you can find these girls practicing splits, cartwheels, and jumps at least twice a week for an hour and a half. Defeat or Victory, you'll always see Ballou's cheerleaders with heads high and voices shouting Say it loud- I'm a Knight and I'm Proud!! Choir l40 The A-cappella Choir, under the direction of Mr. J. N. Logan, serves only one purpose, to acquaint the students of Ballou with the various types of music, such as classicals and musicals, at every assembly, and does exceptionally well at the Night of Music in the spring.
