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

Nobody likes getting up at 7:00 a.m. in the summer, but the cheer- leaders did just that in order to pre- pare for camp and the upcoming football and basketball games. Practicing at that hour four times a week finally paid off when they at- tended camp. They won many over-all excellence ribbons, sparkle and shine ribbons (for smiling) and the congeniality award. The cheerleaders also spent their summer hours selling note cards door-to-door. The money they raised was used to buy new uni- forms since they had six cheer- leaders this year instead of four. The start of the school year meant after school practices and decorating the halls and lockers for each game. In order to help build spirit, the girls often baked cakes and gave them to the players and coaches. The trip to Booneville with the football team, and memories of the Martinsville Holiday Basketball Tourney were special moments that the girls cherished. While in Martins- ville, they got to talk to Al McGuire, who was working for NBC. They also got to help cut down the nets after the Knights won the champion- ship game. The West Side game was an extra big game for the cheerleaders. Be- sides wanting to Kill the Rats in basketball the cheerleaders wanted to show up the Westside cheer- leaders because they went to camp with them. With our large, spirited block sec- tion backing the cheerleaders in their fancy stands and yells, CC looked great. Our spirit was high, and it was one of the best perfor- mances of the year. It is games like these that made all the early and long practices worthwhile. Whether the Knights won or lost the cheerleaders keep up the traditional good spirit and rowdiness that makes CC.
