Being a cheerleader is a rewarding, but difficult job, and the hardest part of all is passing the test to be one. Requirements for being a cheerleader are relatively simple. Girls must maintain an overall C average, have no U's or F's, and have lots of spirit and enthusiasm, Mrs. Doll Forrest, adviser to the girls before tryouts, said. Getting past the judges, though, is the most difficult and trying step in becoming a cheerleader. Out of 68 girls trying out for a position on one of next year's squads, 25 girls were finally chosen. Judges Nancy Galbreath and Lynne Champion from Dobie High School, and Julie Price from La Porte High School, selected three returning cheerleaders along with a first year cheerleader to support the sophomores. They were: freshmen Joan Tay- lor, Melinda Poole, Becky Pattison and Cathy Smith. All former cheerleaders were chosen to the positions of varsity football cheerleaders. Passing the test were juniors Kim Hartwell, Glenda Walker, Stacy Zucha and Nancy Spinks. Sophomores Linda Westmoreland and Peggy Rushing were also elected to the squad. For the first time, two sets of cheerleaders were established for the basketball teams - one for the boys and one for the girls. Cheering their way to the boys' squad were junior Rhonda Byerley, sophomores Fran Hunt, Vicki Jo Crow, Nancy Riggle, Lisa Pas- chal and Tyma Camp, returning for her third year as cheerleader. Sophomores Teresa Adams, Donna Daughdary and Linda Pate, and juniors Brenda O'Neal and Laura Stark were selected to support the girls' teams. Vying for a position on the freshman squad, 37 girls from both Deer Park and Deep- water Junior High tried out. Judges selected four eighth graders including Cindy Beel, Sarah Blanton, Tina Finkledei, and Dawn Shaw.. With so many cheerleaders, many of them returning to their second and third years, there should be no lack of team support and spirit inthe coming year. A.
