Cheerleaders keep pirit During the long, hot summer of l978, ten enthusiastic girls started getting ready for the cheerleading activities of the fall and winter sports' season. Since we were to sponsor the Homecoming activi- ties, we needed to raise money for that purpose, and we also wanted to get new uniforms. So we put in many hard hours of work at car washes and bake sales to raise the money. The dance was a success, and we got our new uniforms, too. We also held a raffle during the Adrian football game. With the help of our spon- sors, Mrs. Laffoon and Miss Williams, we made a quilt by hand. Vickie Blanton won the quilt as first prize. Debbie Elffner won a macrame' hanger as second prize and Mr. Gratton won a ham as third prize. We worked many hard hours to develop and perfect the cheers as a team and to plan the pep rallies for the fall. How- ever, we felt it was worth it because we enjoyed supporting the Bobcat teams.
