Cheerleaders The 1985-86 cheerleaders had a successful year filled with the joys of winning and the joys of sharing fun times. Even though there were two completely separate squads, the biggest accomplishments were achieved together. The link that kept the squads so close was sponsor, Fran Stuckey. After being selected in the spring, the cheerleaders began vigorous practice for the spring game. In the early summer months, they worked together as one squad for summer camp. They learned one cheer and a dance to take to camp and worked towards perfection. In July, the group became the 1985 U.C.A. Cheerleading Camp Champions. Although going to camp was for competition, it was also for learning. New chants and cheers were learned but also learning to get along with new people was imperative. For their ability to share friendship and knowledge, the cheerleaders received the Key to Spirit award. The excitement at camp was only the beginning of a great, fun-filled year. After summer camp, the squads were split but they never lost the feeling of unity. They cheered together at the biggest games - Homecoming, U-High, and Trafton. The feelings and emotions shared are unforgettable, extremely exciting and filled with the joys of winning and sharing. Highsteppers It can be said that the 1985-86 Highsteppers had a year full of excitement, anguish, tears, laughter, and many hours of hard work. Their very energetic and caring new sponsor was Mrs. Cynthia Hancock and her help was very much appreciated. Tryouts for Highsteppers took place toward the end of spring where the girls performed in front of a panel of judges from L.S.U.'s dance team. After selection, uniforms were bought for each girl and practice started right away. In mid-July, the girls sweated out many hours of practice to get ready for Superstar Drill Team Camp. This camp was held in Ruston, Louisiana at Louisiana Tech. Many new dances were learned every day and each night was spent in the dorms with aches and pains and applications of Ben Gay. All of the hard work paid off, for when the group came home they brought with them the Sweep-stakes Trophy! This was won for getting the most blue ribbons in performing the dances learned at camp. The school year started with much anxiety, but excitement, when the group performed at the first football game of the season. Captain Lauren Moonan summed it up well when she said, There's nothing like being out there on the field, with the bright lights shining on you, performing in front of the happy, excited crowd of students and parents. Highsteppers is definitely fun and an exciting tradition to be carried on at Episcopal High in the years to come.
