Gimme Spirit doesn’t come easily to everyone and the 1982 Varsity Cheerleaders are here to help out. This year they prac- ticed hard at least two days a week and went to the games to encourage team and spectator spirit. They planned pep rallies for the football games and basketball games. They marched in the Cumberland Christmas parade and helped with school wide fund rais- ers. They helped in the election of a Mr. Football for 1982 and made post- ers for the games. Then they still had time to coach a junior cheerleading squad, with cheerleaders ranging in age from 5-8 years old. 18 Varsity Cheerleaders A Cé C 99 But spirit may not have always been easy. In spite of all the work during practice, they had to have many fund- raisers to pay for uniforms and other necessary items. Even with all their hard work, not all bills could be paid. Sponsor Barbara Meinhard and pro- spective cheerleaders for next year even plan to work in the summer. 1.
