arsity Cheerleaders It's hard work, but worth it. Performing skits at pep rallies, cheering the mighty Rams on at football games, basketball games, and also encouraging spirit and enthusiasm are just a few of the jobs the cheerleaders were faced with. Although these jobs may sound easy, they took much planning, practice, and dedication. Over the summer, the cheerleaders practiced twice a week for two hours each day. All expenses for this year, except for the selling of suntan oil to help pay for the expense of camp, were paid by the cheerleaders themselves. The cheerleaders were sponsored by Ms. Barbara Gustin. During their summer vacation, the cheerleaders attended the National Cheerleaders Association CNCAJ at the University of South Florida in Tampa from August 7-10. During the cheer- leaders stay at camp, they learned new chants, cheering tech- niques, and dances to make the new school year more enjoyable and pleasing to the students. While the cheerleaders were there, they won the spirit stick, which is awarded to the most spirited squad, and also they were awarded four straight superior blue ribbons for doing an outstanding job at camp. The captains Gayla Beach and Sheri Stinson said, 'LBecause of the hard work we did at camp, we have learned to work together. We unified our squad and started correcting mistakes. We made superior at camp and we are working to do even better now. There has been much improvement within the squad. However, we still have a lot of hard work to do, and hopefully, with more improvement, weill be the best squad Eastside has had. It's hard work, but well worth itf, 2 l 12 f Varsity Cheerleaders
