Sparking Up the Spirit rhe junior varsity and freshman cheerleading squads gave it everything they had to back their teams. Come rain or shine, they cheered mXh upporting spirit. Both the J. v. and freshman squads at- tended camp at Stephen F. Austin University where they learned how to work together as a squad. J.V and freshman cheerleaders are responsible for promoting spirit for their teams by mailing spirit signs and pro- moting the spirit of the crowd. The head cheerleaders for the 1984-85 J.V. and freshman squads were: J V.; Jenny Youngblood and freshman; Leslie Sladeck. I enjoy cheering at games, especially when the team is winning or the crowd cheers with us. says Youngblood. I enjoy being able to support the freshman teams and meeting other squads, said Sladeck. Spite their lack of experience in cheerleading, the JV and freshman squads did a very good job in supportnig their Gator teams. They always stay in the spirit of things even if the team they are cheering for is not the leader on the score board. Though it seems like an easy job, cheering can be a lot of work. Cheerleaders have to work very hard to keep and have their positions, it takes many hours of practice, grades must be kept up and a general good outlook on good sportsmanship and confidence must betaken. Freshmen show their support for the Gators at the homecoming parade. J . ?. Front Row: I eilam Geisler. Dufty King. Jennifer Rhoads Back Row: Wendi Musick, Suzanne Stegall. Leslie Sladeck.
