 We've got the spirit! They stand along the side- lines with one eye on the game and the other on the crowd. They are known for having some of the biggest mouths in school. Rightly so, these people are cheer- leaders and their job is at the same time hard and fun. By the end of the season they know the plays as well as the players do. They can get you to just about any small school within the region. They are also experts on how to take a nap on the bus. Why do these girls go through this job? What do they get out of it? Most will agree that they cheer because they are inter- ested in basketball. They all feel that they play an impor- tant part during the season. Often they are the only ones from the school when the team take on a far away school. Aside from this many amusing things can also hap- pen to cheerleaders. Perhaps the most embarassing is for- getting a floor cheer. At the end of the season, the cheerleaders regretfully stop. But soon, they begin making preparations for the next year.
