THEN Judy Duitsman Gronewold was a Fresh-Soph Cheerleader in 1957-58, when the Forreston High School student body moved from the grade school building to the present high school building. Mrs. Gronewold feels that probably the only real difference between cheering in the high school gym compared to the grade school gym is that you could have a larger crowd in the high school. When asked about the differences in cheerleaders now, she responded that the girls now are much better in gym- nastics and mounts. She also said when she was a cheer- leader there were fewer requirements, for example the stu- dent body chose the cheerleaders on popularity, not on skill. F.H.S. CHEERLEADERS 1978 Left to Right: K. Lewis, N. Hagemann, R. Steinhauser, D. Farley, S. DeWall, D. Watson, P. Kurschner, R. Rankin, K. Capps, A. Arshem, L. Akins, S. Smith. The varsity cheerleaders attended a four day camp spon- sored by the International Cheer- leading Foundation at Bradley Uni- versity in Peoria. Some 28 squads from Illinois and Wisconsin competed for spirit and skill awards and were judged each day in these areas. Forreston’s varsity squad received one red and two blue rib- bons and were also nominated for the most spirited squad for their performance throughout the camp. They scored high enough to be one of the top five squads chosen in final evaluation. M Advisor: Mrs. Harmon

NOW Diane Watson is a senior at Forreston High School. She has been on the cheerleading squad for 3 years. Diane feels that cheering now is probably more difficult than cheering in the 50’s, because now cheerleaders not only have to be able to do gymnastics stunts, they also have to learn difficult mounts. She also feels that the kids are probably less enthusiastic than they were in the 50’s, so this puts more pressure on the cheerleaders to keep the students fired-up. 15
