Cheerleaders Kinclle Flames of Support It's a lot of hard work. There are a lot of things you have to give up and people donlt realize it, stated varsity cheerleader Lisa LaCombe, referring to the difficult, often frustrating, but always rewarding job of being a cheerleader. The job starts in early summer as the girls make preparations and set schedules for the school year. During the summer, the cheerleaders held garage and bake sales. and organized a wet and wild car wash to raise money in order to finance their way to camp. Camp was held in Boise, Idaho. During their stay, they learned many varieties of cheers and practiced them. At the end of camp, the cheerleaders competed with other squads for awards. The Big Sky cheerleaders won the spirit stick and two superior awards. GO EAGLES GO! - Charla Sampsel and Corrine Cone trightl cheer on the crowd at the Big Skyll-lellgate game. CASE FACES - Varsity Cheerleaders fbelovv rightl perform at a pep assembly to the song 'Delirious by Prince, VARSITY CHEERLEADERS - tbelow lefty Kelly Price, Chris l-loft, Charla Sampsel, Meg Baylor, Kim Polirisky, Barbie lvlariaghan, Lisa LaCombe, Corrine Cone. All the summer work prepared them for the huge job of organizing cheering sup- port. Chris Hoff acknowledged, I feel that being a cheerleader is a great experience. You learn a lot and meet a lot of people. The cheerleaders were under a new ad- visor, Shelley Morton, whose energetic support helped the squad to be more ac- tive than previous years. At least two nights a week you could see them making signs for the different sports. During football and girls' basketball the cheerleaders went around to the players, houses and hung the signs on the outside walls. Then at a football game, the fence was over-run by signs put up by the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders say that some people don't realize that cheerleading is not just hopping up and down. What's needed to make a good cheerleading squad, say the girls, is a lot of hard work and determination. 5 -mfg 110 - Varsity Cheerleaders
