Cheers, Dances Boost Knight Spirit The Highsteppers, always an exciting part of every pep tally, prepare to march off in step at the end of their dance in usual top-notch form. Senior cheerleaders, Elizabeth Hebert and Amy Coates, are in the Spirited Senior Section to do their cheer. We Got Spirit , for the U-High pep-rally. The Highsteppers started the 1986-87 season by practicing the previous summer and going to Superstar Drill Team Camp. This took place in Ruston, La. The officers won an award for being an Outstanding Officers' Squad. This award was presented to the school at the Fall Sports Banquet. The sponsor for this year's dancers was Mrs. Cynthia Hancock and the Co-Captains were Melisse Campbell and Michelle Young. An interesting fan effect is achieved by this routine of the Highsteppers as Tiffany Aucoin seems to be sprouting many arms. Her combined height and the hours of strenuous practice helps Katie Grotness achieve an outstanding Single Stag Leap. The Cheerleaders had a successful year filled with friendship, fun times, and most of all cheering this year's winning teams to major victories. Even though they were two completely separate squads, the biggest accomplishments were achieved together. According to the girls, the link that kept the squads so close was their sponsor, Mrs. Fran Stuckey. After being selected in the spring, the cheerleaders began vigorous practice for the spring game against Christian Life. In the early summer months, they worked together as one squad to prepare for summer camp. They learned one cheer and a dance to take to camp and worked towards perfection. After the concluding ceremonies at camp, the group earned the 1986 overall superior rating from the UCA Cheerleading Camp held at Louisiana Tech. Amanda Grimsley commented, The excitement at camp was only the beginning of a great, fun-filled year. After summer camp, the squads were split, but we never lost our strong feeling of unity. The squads cheered together at the biggest games — U-High, St. Charles, Homecoming, and Trafton. The feelings and emotions shared are unforgettable, filled with the joys of winning, and the memories ever- lasting, said Natalie Miller. Although two dancers had knee injuries and two others missed performances because of illness, the Highsteppers helped kick the Knights to their District 8-AA Championship. Their main function is to promote spirit with dances set to popular music. They do this by performing at all home football games and pep-rallies. They were also invited to dance at the Trafton-Epis-copal game. The Highsteppers also danced at the Junior Class Talent Show to Never Been Any Reason. Their most popular dance this year was to True Confessions by Banarama.
