SYNCRONICITY The 1984-1985 Varsity Cheer- leading Squad worked hard, Mrs. Hay considered them to be the best skilled group of girls ever. As a result of their talent and dedica- tion, they became Grand Champs at the JFC Cheerleading Camp. The squad consisted of three seniors: Lori Watson, Thea Walker, and the captain, Beth Morrison, and five juniors: Kim Chizevsky,jill Schultz, Leslie Davis, Vicki Crain, and Kim Guymon. The girls had many reasons for becoming cheerleaders. Leslie Da- vis felt cheerleading gave her a front row view of the action. It's a great way to meet people, re- marked Vicki Crain. Kim Guymon added, We are there to get the spirit up. Thea Walker, who has been a cheerleader for six years, throught It was a great way to get involved with the school. The junior Varsity Cheerleading squad was also very good. They worked with the Varsity Squad to win first place in a dance competi- tion. The summer of '84 they won ribbons for their over-all perfor- mance and dance routine. The Pom-Pon squad this year showed their talent by winning many awards at the Universal Dance Camp at Southern Illinois University. A routine they devel- oped won second place, and their squad won first place overall! Two spirit sticks were awarded to Eisen- hower's girls because they had the most spirit, and they won thirty-six blue ribbons and four red ribbons on routines learned at camp. With the music as their guide, the veteran Pantherettes taught the rookies how to synchronize their moves. Throughout the year, their perfor- mance was beyond comparison. Flag Corps used their skills with flags to guide them while they suc- cessfully accompanied the march- ing band. Their black and white flags boldly displayed the colors with pride. The Flag squad prac- ticed three times a week to perfect their performance. Their participa- tion at football games showed the crowd that Eisenhower had some pizzazz. Thanks go to all the girls for a great year. I iiiiillir. if ta...-A A . af-M. , . . t ,-,x: ' , - y ,.. ,Malo W 'Q -s.. l. The pom pon girls practice after school to the beat of their music. 2.

t Was Almost Like a All the choirs were judged supe- rior in performance and in practice. The Freshmen choir was good for their first time being together from different schools. The Advanced Girls might have only 22 members, but they were packed with fine sounds. Every- where they sang, there was enjoy- ment by all. Most of this choir was composed of sophomores, but the juniors and seniors from the year before showed them what to do! 'ruse L . l ' , A l 5 g 'f l an 7 - l SONG Who was the choir with the most beautiful voices? That's right! Con- cert Choir. The concert choir in- cluded students from Freshmen to Seniors. They blended well togeth- er even though some were from dif- ferent backgrounds. When the con- cert choir sang the sound was like that of professionals. All of the year' choirs were really good under the direction of Mr. Milt Scott. With him, anyone can sound good. Milt Scott should be thanked for 2 . u l I ,,,,... . . , .,. -.. --a 'IBS 6 much of all of the choirs' successes. He was also a key person who began the fabulous all Decatur schools' Christmas performance at Kirkland Auditorium in Millikin University. For the first time ever, combined high school choirs and faculty sang Vivaldi's Gloria after grueling practice on Dec. 17. We hope this will become an annual tradition. l 1.
