Varsity Cheerleaders H .. S tk Fund Raising Promotes School Spirit and Adds to Cheerleading Activities A Marriage Booth at the Sadie Hawkins dance and a pie-in- the-face booth at the Mardi Gras were both a big success for the varsity cheerleaders. The cheerleaders also sold candied brown and gold spirit sticks during homecoming week. During the summer the cheerleaders held a car wash, and had a tum- ble sale to help raise money for their new uniforms. On August 2-5 the cheerleaders traveled to La Jolla Califor- nia to attend cheerleader camp. During their stay the squad collected five superior blue ribbons, a spirit stick, and the award of excellence for the most outstanding squad at the camp. The cheerleaders also traveled to Carson City to cheer the basketball team over Christmas. The favorite skits the cheerleaders did during the assemblies were the caramel onion eating contest and the unknown cheer- leader. The cheerleaders also sponsored this year's Girls Rev- erse on February 24. The dance was held at Faces Disco and a good time was had by everyone. '-N l . C x 6 ' .- A ' tl xl ,gr , C . js, y J ....

.LLL Drill Teom Step Closer to Storclom On November 1, 1978, the Bonanza Golden Girls came one step closer to stardom. They were invited to make a cameo appearance in the new television series, VegaS. They and the band left the school at 6:00 a.m. to head for the Hughes Air Terminal. The girls didn't mind the eleven long hours on the set, because the handsome actors Robert Urich and Clifton Davis kept them entranced. On January 17, 1979 each girl watched eagerly to see the final result on T.V. ' Competitions throughout the year kept the girls in constant training. Though it was hard work, they were rewarded many times over. During the summer they won a second place for their Summer Nights Routine. On November 4, the girls won a first place trophy in the small dance division with Summer Nights and a second place trophy in large military division with Flock Me at the Southwestern Clinic Drill Team Competi- tion. They went in February to Santa Monica for Miss Drill Team U.S.A. pageant. This was a national competition. They per- formed three routinesp California Strut - small military divi- sion, Can't You Feel a Brand New Day? - small dance divi- sion and Summer Nights - novelty division. Tammy Smith was chosen as the Golden Girl to represent them in the individ- ual competition. The girls also had many extra-curricular activities. On Octo- ber 5 they participated in the Honda Convention at the Aladdin. They performed for over 7,000 Honda dealers. Two days later they performed in a U.N.L.V. halftime review. All the bands and drill teams in Clark County participated in this halftime. They sponsored the Sadie Hawkins assembly and dance in November. During the assembly they performed the hilarious pillow case routine in which they wore king sized pillow cases over their heads with suit jackets around their waist. The effect made them look like short bodied people with large heads that were awkwardly graceful. In December they again helped out at the third annual Chili Cook-off at Circus Circus. At the cook-off the girls wore their sequined outfits and carried bowls of chili from the parking lot to the judges banquet room on the second floor of the hotel. ft? 44 A During their California Strut performance for the Homecoming assembly the Golden Girls again wowed the audience with their jump- splits.
