Cheerleading has been full of great times. I ' ll always remember how much fun I had getting rowdy during the McCutcheon game. I couldn ' t believe that the CC crowd could be so loud. (Don Peccia) I think it ' s really great to get up in front of the boys block and get them fired up. One thing I ' ll never forget is the 7:00 A.M. practices that I didn ' t get to until 7:30 (John Jones) At practices, I usually wore shirts with pockets, but I soon learned. I had to do a stunt with Debbie Youart in which she stands on my shoulders. Once when she was jumping down her foot got caught in my pocket and ripped a big hole in my shirt. (Jon Sullivan) I ' ll never forget when we decided to go to dinner before the Craw- fordsville game and John Jones sug- gested his father ' s Pizza Hut in La- gado. It was 20 miles out of the way but since we were expecting a really nice place and maybe even free food we agreed. Once there we wished we weren ' t. The place was a small room with a juke box and a pinball machine, and to top it off the food wasn ' t free! (Larry Schmidlin) Being a guy cheerleader was quite an experience. At first it was scary, getting up in front of every- one, but after a while I liked it. I ' ll never forget the night we tried to do a pyramid and John Jones ended up needing stitches. We never tried that stunt again.

Being able to cheer before Varsity basl etball games, participating more in pep sessions, cheering at football homecoming, and getting to wear cheerleading jackets made cheerleading especially exciting for the B-team cheerleaders. They were also happy when they discovered that they could use two sets of varsi- ty uniforms. The girls practiced twice a week during the summer. When they got to cheerleading camp they found that all the practicing was worth it — they were rewarded with several ribbons for excellence. They also learned many routines at camp. When school started, the girls prac- ticed three times a week. In addition to this, they had to attend a weekly meeting with the other cheerleading squads and their sponsor, Mrs. Mary Beth Kremer. The freshman cheerleaders found that cheerlead- ing at CC was different from cheer- leading in junior high. Decorating the guy ' s lockers and being involved with pep sessions were only part of the fun of being a CC cheerleader. The Freshman had two substitutes this year instead of one, and the squad could be seen practicing in the back hall twice a week. Leading cheers and representing Central Catholic was a big responsi- bility for the girls to undertake. They did their job well, and they added a lot of spirit along the way! 1: JV Cheerleader Carrie Baker. 2: Freshmen Cheerleader Kathy Buntin. 3: Freshmen Cheerleader Jenny Theime. 4: JV Cheer- leader Theresa Lux. 5: JV Cheerleader Bon- nie Youart. 6: JV Cheerleader Mary MacDon- ald. 7: Freshmen Cheerleader Tricia Driscoll. 8: Freshmen Cheerleader Rhonda Reeves. 9: Carrie Baker and Theresa Lux introduce a new style of uniforms at a pep session. j.v. and freshman
