1 4 C ' Sparkle of purple and gold By promoting school spirit in all athletic events, the cheerleaders again played an important part in upholding the image of the Wild- cats. According to the eighth grade sponsor, Mrs. Blomberg, a cheer- leader needed to set a good exam- ple, be a good leader, maintain good grades, and learn her cheers to the best of her ability. The eighth grade squad brought honor to BSIH when they received first place overall at CMSU cheerleading camp in the eighth grade division. They were judged on their ability to perform two chants and two cheers. When asked how they felt about camp, Erika Elkins responded, lt was hard work but rewarding. Tracey Thornton replied, It was a great learning experience. Through practices and games, the eighth grade cheerleaders re- ceived their leadership from Ther- esa Rogers for the gold squad and Christina Fay for the purple squad. The ninth grade cheerleaders' squad captains were Christy Franke and Pepper Walkup. The ninth grade squad also brought honor to BSJH from the CMSU camp. They secured a sec- ond place trophy in the junior varsity division at summer camp. They also received several ribbons: outstanding leadership, outstand- ing jumps and stunts, and outstand- ing cheering skills. It took a great deal of dedica- tion to practice twice a week and before every game. During practice the cheerleaders worked on cheers, jumps, committees, and pep rallies. Although they weren't re- quired to take any dance or gymnastics classes, some chose to do so They did however, have to maintain an S grade average and be an overall good student The aim of the cheerleaders during the game was to get the players and fans excited and ready to win. Pepper Walkup stated, We all loved working together on the squad and the student body could really tell. The squad agreed, Cheering for BSJH was great. AS THE SQUAD POLISHES their cheers, Mrs. Blomberg assists the girls with their positions.
