O Cheerleading squads strive to promote school spirit end lend encouragement at various athletic contests After five rigorous practice sessions and two ly-outs last spring, eight iuniors and six sopho- hores were informed that they would have the onor of representing their school as cheerleaders or the coming year. Although athletic ability was major criteria, enthusiasm, leadership qualities, nd appearance were also considered. A certain amount of distinction accompanies this rosition, but it is by no means all fun and no work. ractice began in mid-August for this year's cheer- aders as they made ready for the '67 football ason. During the school year, two nights were ent after school every week synchronizing each heer and improving individual skills in preparation or the coming game. The planning and coordina- ion of an organized rally at pep assemblies re- quired even more practice time. , This year several new cheers and movements lere introduced, along with a whole new set of uniforms for both squads. The sale of popsicles 'erforming the marching song are Linda McKay, Alice Sterling, tally Klarr, Karen Kieppe, Barb Hall, Andi Holcomb, Becky after school and profits from two sock hops made the uniforms possible. A great deal was learned by those who attended cheerleading camp last summer. This was another first for Seaholm cheer- leaders and proved worthwhile. Although only one game per week was required, each cheerleader was expected to extend herself beyond the call of duty. Aside from cheering at football games, basketball games, and swim meets, the girls also led wrestling fans for the first time this year. A schedule was set up to insure cheer- leaders at each athletic event during the winter months. As the girls came bounding onto the football field or basketball court, you could be sure they were as much up for the game as the players. They made a constant effort to promote real school spirit and good inter-school relations, while doing their best to let the team know the crowd was be- hind them.

GAA provides many sports, good times away from school The activities of the Girls' Athletic Association are not restricted to Seaholm's gymnasium. This year the girls participated in many sports away from the school. Bowl- ing was held at the Birmingham Bowl for all interested in- dividuals. The nine teams enioyed the competition every Monday night from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. At the end of each semester, winners received trophies and new teams were formed. GAA undertook two trips. Fifty girls boarded buses during the winter season for an exciting, exhausting week- end at Caberfae Ski Resort. The ski trip was a first for the club. When April rolled around, girls boarded buses again for the annual spring retreat. As usual this was a time of relaxation and sports. Topping oFf the eventful year, the girls celebrated at the Fox and Hounds Inn with a delicious dinner. Here awards were given and new officers announced.
