Pyramid Power Promotes Gold Pride . . . Laryngitis, Laughter Being close friends unified the cheerleading squad, but also caused silly disputes, which were quickly resolved. Thirteen girls made up the cheering unit, each of whom were chosen during tryouts the previous March of that year. A two-week clinic preceeded the cheerleading tryouts, con- sisting of learning new cheers and skills and being judged by the selected school teachers. Five sophomores were selected: Tresa Cox, Carla Bales, Sheila Hanner, Kim Johnson and Terri Mayorg seven ju- niors, Kathy Atchley, Sherrie James, Shelly Nardyz, Jamie Rogers, Cindy Parker, Glenna Pafford, Jean Anne McGuireg and one senior, Jamie Bales. The girls started practicing for their competition at Okla- homa University, where they went to camp for a week in July, under the instruction of National Cheerleaders Associ- ation. During this week they received many awards, earning the spirit stick three times and being allowed to keep it. Over 700 girls attended the camp, thirteen of which were Sandites. The last day, Charles Page was one of the top seven squads selected as the top teams at camp. They were evaluated by the NCAA instructors as being runner-up for the award of excellence, which was given to Moore High School. The routines that the cheerleaders learned at camp were performed during the pep assemblies. These were a great improvement over last year's routines, as were the skits performed by different organizations of the school. Many difficult pyramids, which were practiced two hours a day added greatly to the cheerleaders' performances. Rookie cheerleader sponsors, Mrs. Kaye Battles, Mrs. Marcia Ritter, and Mrs. Peggy Whaley, experienced slight confusion at first, however the three together helped form an outstanding spirited squad. Unselfishness had to be one of the main characteristics of the sponsors, due to the enor- mous amount of time each gave up toward building a better unit. Being a cheerleader meant giving a lot of hard work, losing homework time while practicing cheers, and being a part of much confusion, but most of all it meant having fun with the people they liked. GRIN AND BEAR IT - Junior Cindy Parker and sophomore Sheila Hanner giggle and snicker at the latest joke in the cheerleading circle. Known as the comedians of the squad, the two were always creating something to laugh about. 122 Cheerleaders WHAT GOES UP . . . - The creative minds on the cheering squad and staff always seem to come up with something new with which to entertain the audience during pep assemblies. This grueling and painful feat was acredit- ed to Mrs. Peggy Whaley who told the girls how she used to participate in pyramid building when she was a cheerleader. It is felt that this routine shows the sheer dedication that cheerleaders have. ....-....4--
