' ■ H Perfect balance is required in shoulder stands and other acrobatic maneuvers which help make this year ' s group the best, Debbie Smith supports Dinah Joyner as they Stand Proud. Run get Mr. Hagmann; Gail ' s jumping ! Good natured Gail Wolf contributes her imagination on posters and in skits. Dinah Joyner is dynamite when it comes to igniting spirit. And that ' s what cheerleading is all about. Our Alma Mater Haltom High, may have been what the cheer- leaders sang to end each pep rally, but those very words will help re- mind us of all they did in 197 1- 72. ft L

Sp irit ' s not something you pose for, says Jody Kothmann. You have to feel it, express it, live it. No one would argue that Jody is the epitome of spirit. Until after the game ' s over those blisters on the feet don ' t even hurt. Jody receives sympathy from Patti Freud iger and Robert Fisher. How do you practice yells for hours and hours with the sweat pouring down and your muscles so tired they feel like broken rubber bands - and still look fresh and cool and have a great big smile for the judges? It wasn ' t easy - but the Buffs won three 1st place ribbons, one 2nd place, and one 3rd place, with the Spirit Stick to top it all off. And they won these honors in competition with 1,100 other 4A-5 District Cheerleaders from the Dallas- Fort Worth, Oklahoma, and Kansas areas. Debbie Smith really enjoys her young life. It ' s esisy when leaders like Ray Schmulen offers his friendship and support. Audience appeal comes naturally for talented Debbie Smith whose skills were relied upon in routines. 36 Spirit
