Hello from SGA by M che e Bair Spirit and skill will combine into one loud Tiger proud group. The Cowley cheerleaders and the pompon squad have become one to lead Tiger fans. Sponsor Stephanie Barnhill explained the reason for the change. Since the objectives of the two squads were the same, we decided to combine them into one spirit squad. This will also help give the students more time to devote to their studies because we will form two groups that will alternate traveling to out of town games, Barnhill said. Barnhill said there are still three open spots on the squad and grants in aid are available. In addition to attending the Tiger games, Spirit Squad mem- ' bers will perform in the Arkalalah Parade, and conduct a spirit clinic for little league cheerleaders on Family Day. According to Barnhill, anyone interested in trying out for the Tiger mascot should talk to her as soon as possible. We ' re looking for someone who is full of energy and fun loving, said Barnhill. The Tiger is a popular part of Tiger games, especially for the little kids. The Tiger has to be able to love the kids and have enough personality to dance to ' Bar- bara Ann ' like Joey Wilson did last year. by Debbie Hobaugh Welcome to Cowley! As Student Government Association President I want to warn you, you ' re in for an ex- citing year. Troy Girrens, SGA Vice-President and myself will be doing our best to make this year the most memorable one yet! Cowley offers an array of op- portunities from academic clubs to fun-filled intermurals. Along ■ with many planned social events throughout the year it gets started with the Tiger Tube Races. Concluding the wet and wild races, SGA will sponsor the annual water- melon feed in Paris Park. It will be a great time to get acquain- ted with other students, and to SGA President pucker up and attempt to break the record for spitting water- melon seeds. The Student Government Association was established to serve and speak the voice of the students. We are looking forward to doing that for you. You can make our job easier and succesful by getting in- volved. We igh the options and join a club or two and let us know what can be done . to make Cowley a better place to study and grow because, together we ' re better. Welcome back to Cowley!
