Who is it that spends part of their summer making plans and attending camp? Who are those certain eight girls that meet to set up a schedule of the coming year’s activities? It's the E.H.S. cheerleaders, of course! The ladies involved are Jane Jensen. Dawn Schwisow. Gina Paulsen. Lisa Fredericksen. Lisa Hays. Janelle Wolf. Theresa Wheeler, and Sue Hill. All through the summer, as well as through the regular school year, these girls put a lot of time and ef- fort into their jobs. What exactly are these girls in charge of? The main job they strive for is to keep spirit alive among the fans, players and others involved with school activities. To help them oul this year, a new sponsor. Miss Kim Klaseus. was chosen to be in charge of cheerleading. She had a big job to start out with as her first year at Exira. Dawn Schwisow commented. She gave us a lot of new ideas to work with. She really helped out a lot. Some of the activities the cheerleaders participated in during the summer included the annual 4th of July dunktank in the city park. Also, two of the girls attend- ed camp at the Dynamic Cheerleading Association Camp in Lincoln. Nebraska. They came back with lots of new and exciting cheers as well as a couple of routines. One. in fact, was done by homecoming time on stage in the city park. As the year progressed, the cheerleaders kepi themselves busy by selling Exira Viking jerseys as a fundraiser. Many loyal fans purchased them. Pep rallies were also done to get the players and Iheir fans fired up for the approaching games. The yearly lick Manilla day was held over lunch hour before the football and volleyball games with Manilla. Although there were countless other things the cheerleaders did. they should be commended for the fine job that was done. Afterall. they wouldn’t be there if they didn't enjoy it! 4 KENDRICK'S SUPER VALU 26 Fall Cheerleaders
