What illustrious group has won many awards, performed in the Astrodome more than once, were guests on the radio, and ap- peared in a parade? Answer. The 1983-1984 MacAr- thur Cheerleaders. Summer practices kicked off one of the busiest years ever for the cheerleaders. The practices were fun and encouraging as well as strenuous and demanding. The work paid off, however, as the squad returned from camp with three spirit sticks and five blue ribbons, a record that could not be beaten by any other squad. An invitation to perform at the Beach Boys concert in the Astrodome followed summer camp. Following the concert a local radio station invited the cheerleaders to spend a day on the radio doing cheers for various sponsors. A Christmas time parade welcoming Santa Claus to Greenspoint Mall was the next event on the calendar. Be- ing the only high school cheerleaders in attendance was an added privilege. The highlight of the year, however, was made possible by the football team., Cheering in the Astrodome was a once in a lifetime experience that the girls really enjoyed. Being a member of this year's squad was one of the most memorable and happy times of my life. The year's squad was like a family. I feel as though I have gained ten sisters. lt's not hard to find a group of at least three or four cheerleaders together at all times, commented senior Cathlene Gentry. Building and maintaining spirit at MacArthur was the top priority of this year's squad. Led by co- captains Cathlene Gentry and Lynn Guerrero, with the help of sponsor Ms. Peggy Coleman, the squad was also determined to be involved in other activities. Throughout the year both of these goals were reached. .,,,. oi T ..,. M., ,,.. Klm Spessard shows Lynn Guerrero who's rea boss. dps by
