JV Wrestling Cheerleaders Provide Spirit and Enthusiasm Keeping G.P.A. above 2.00, hours of perfecting yells and cheers, making posters and locker signs, doing cheers at home and away wrestling matches—all these are part of a cheerleader's hectic schedule. I had fun cheerleading this year. The best thing I liked about it was going to different schools and cheering for the guys; and I guess the best thing is doing special things for them. I had a lot of fun; it was different, said Lisa Keene. Debi Hisaw stated, Cheer- leading was fun to begin with, but after awhile it became a hassle. I had fun watching the matches, but I don't think I'll ever go out for it again. It's very expensive. Some fund-raising projects the girls sponsored were a car wash at the U.S. National Bank on the cor- ner of Lancaster and a dance after a Woodburn basketball game. The money was used to pay for their uniforms. All the hard practicing paid off. The girls provided spirit and en- thusiasm at junior varsity matches and also cheered during varsity matches.

JV Rally Change Squads I really liked cheering for football games. But I really don't like the three different squads this year. It's not right because it's hard for girls to try out two or three times a year, said Darlene Johnson. The JV cheerleaders had a busy football season. Besides cheering at the games, they were busy selling candy, washing cars, and going on bottle drives. The money was used to pay off their uniforms. They also attended the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) camp at Lewis and Clark College before school started. Those attending were Jodi Federico, Darlene Johnson, Annette Rice, Karen Dossey, Tricia Gisler, and Vicki Towery. This year, there were six cheerleaders for football and then two different squads for basketball and wrestling. Before, there were six cheerleaders who cheered throughout the year for football, basketball, and wrestling. Annette Rice stated, It's really not what I expected, but I loved it. Three different squads are nice, but if you make it more than once, it can be expensive. I thought this year of cheer- leading was really great. We learned alot at the camp and our squad had a good time yelling to- gether. This has probably been the most fun year I've ever had cheer- leading, said Jodi Federico.

Gettin’ It All Together—JV Squad of '77 Other than cheering by my- self a couple of times, it was a lot of fun and rewarding, commented Tricia Gisler. Cascade's JV cheerleading squad for basketball consisted of four sophomore girls. They spent many hours making signs and prac- ticing cheers to present them- selves as well as possible at all JV basketball games and pep assem- blies. I love cheerleading, and this year was fun, even if It took a while for us to get it all together, said Darlene Johnson. Annette Rice stated, Cheer- leading was a hassle at times, but other times it was fun. I've met a lot of new people being a cheer- leader—more than I would have otherwise. To end the season on a pleasant note, the school took the girls and the JV basketball team for pizza. Also, adviser Carol Sheehan awarded the girls cheer- leading pins.
