The Varsity Cheerleaders found it easier to cheer with fewer disagreements and more cooperation than was present in previous years. New cheers were learned at cheerleading camp at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, over the summer. The squad won blue ribbons at camp for perfection of formation, attitude, and unification styles. Their camp experience helped them improve performance at games.

Besides pep rallies and games, the girls kept busy decorating team members' lockers, and making locker signs for the wrestling squad, football, basketball, and baseball players.

The Varsity Cheerleaders perform it at the Woodson-Marshall game. Varsity Cheerleaders 173
