Hard work and dedica¬ tion pay off Cheerleading at Barton County Community College may look like a glamorous activity but actually it re¬ quires many hours of hard work, sweat and even tears. The squad not only tried new cheers and chants but they also learned several difficult stunts and pyramids. Although some turbulent times faced this Cougar squad, they handled them together and grew to be as close as family. In August, the members travelled to Memphis, Tennes¬ see. After a tour, they attended a half day Universal Cheerleading Association Camp along with 114 other squads spanning the United States. The UCA camp in¬ troduced new techniques to initiate improved cheering abilities. The BCCC cheerleading squad received a trophy for one of the most improved squads at the camp, and in ad¬ dition, they were awarded a spirit stick and several rib¬ bons for their hard work and determination. After this assembly the members returned home. The squad also enjoyed travelling with the teams to Cowley, Colorado and the state fair to boost team spirit. 32 Clubs
