Spirit Leaders he Heidelberg Varsity Cheerleaders were made up of seven spirited, cooperative and enthusiastic girls. This showed from the very beginning of the year, as they participated in the National Cheerleadersi AssociationSpirit Clinic at Kaiserslautern. Coming back from that Labor Day weekend, they brought with them the Spirit Stick, Superior ribbons, and most importantly, the National Cheerleadersi Association Award for Excellence. This special award enabled them to compete for the National Championship at Orlando, Florida in December. Due to the usual busy schedule of the squad, they could not make the long trip. However, they were invited to make several special performances which were always a success. Some of the duties of being a cheerleader at HHS included: decorating lockers, making spirit posters, providing entertainment at the pep rallies, marching in the Fasching Parade, and fund-raising activities. These were all accomplished by positive attitudes and helped to make it an enjoyable year for everyone. 58 Sports Kim Collmer shows that spirit is the most important element in cheerleading.
