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.
