Like the Varsity squad, the Sopho- more sponsor was Linda Burton. Tryouts were held at the end of the '84- '85 school year, last year. Only freshman were allowed to try out. The girls were judged in several areas. They were judged on smile, personality, appearance, gymnastics, jumps, the re- quired cheer, and individual cheers. The most important factor in judging, howev- er, was the teacher evaluation. The girls were all required to have at least a 2.5 GPA in order to try out. The cheerleading camp was held at CSU in Fort Collins. The first two nights of Camp, the Sophomore Cheerleaders took the excellence awards fred ribbonsl The next two nights, however, they proved to be even stronger in competition and cheered away with the superior awards fblue ribbonsj. On top of all their earned victories at state, the Sophomore Cheer- , leaders were nominated for finals. The Sophomores had four captains this year. Delinda Chapa was captain for both state and basketball. Monique Knott was co-captain at state competition. Leslie Patrick was captain for football and Beth Hollop was captain for wrestling. t The Sophomore Cheerleading squad did more than their share of giving football cheerleading squad marched in this year's Homecoming Parade and all squads per- Andy Kerr It looked different, it looked fun Andy Kerr wanted to be a part of it. talking about male cheerleading in you're wondering.

The Poms strut their stuff. The lastest in the Varsity cheer- leading squad at GMHS-Male Cheerleading. The few schools in the area fortu- nate enough to have male cheer- leaders, it has been more than thirty years since male cheerleading has been common in this area so it seems like a new idea. When one of the guys first brought up the idea, everyone thought it was a joke. When it was taken seriously, more than twenty guys came to try out. Everyone believes the most de- serving guys succeeded. The six lucky gentlemen turned out to be Andy Kerr, Joe Bradley, Jed Erfurdt, Rob Olemski, and Scott Peckikonis. So, now, it's once again been proved that cheerleading is not just a girls sport! Top: Joey Bradley and Rob Olenski. Bottom: Andy Kerr and Jed Erfurdt, Not pictured: Steve Kyle and Scott Peckikonis.
