DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Vicki Gayler Jane Hegg Jerri Bardos Our cheerleaders could characterize this year as being an overwhelming success. After traveling to Vincennes “cheer-in cheerleading camp, which 750 other cheerleaders attended, they welcomed the sight of home where they resumed normal activities. No longer did they have to dodge flying arms and legs. No more screaming chants and clapping hands. But best of all, there would be no more waiting patiently for three hours to get a meal. The girls loved every minute of it. They loved most of all being able to bring back many coveted awards and snappy yells and chants. Now it was time to begin their full time job as cheerleaders. Our cheerleaders brought spirit back to the halls of CHS where it had been hiding, locked up in the lockers, whittled into the walls, lurking behind all the corners, trapped in the hungry trophy case waiting to burst out. Spirit made its debut at the first pep session where it’s been rallying ever since. While fans watched these “smarckling girls, they saw their proud faces gleam with delight, because these girls had the privilege of backing their Trojan teams to the victories that made this year such a tremendous time. This is our time to cheer our cheerleaders. 29

Lou Ann Nichols Verneta Gouty A cheerleader is one who gets to share in the glories of her team. It is a privilege for her to be out in front of the crowd. But her job isn’t all smiles and joyous jumps, it’s a job full of tedious tasks of raising spirit in the group, getting people to back the team with their mighty mouths, spending time after school practicing yells, planning pep sessions, thinkin g f nc jdeas for the pep block. Even though cheerleaders may not seem tone doing too much, they too wake up the morning after games with tight muscles, aching backs, and the echoes of chants roaring through their heads. But if a person should ask one of our varsity cheerleaders if she would give it up, she would reply “Never!” ' A Km 1 A ' 28
