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. With a rustle of pompons, Mimi Smith enthusiastically marches around the field. Double image . . . Kris Wright and Michelle Foster finish a halftime routine with flair.

With the attendance of the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders at the NCA Spirit Clinic, the true quality of their teamwork was expressed by the winning of two Superior ribbons and one Excellent ribbon. Without their unrelenting spirit, the Heidelberg Cheerleaders would not have been able to bring the Spirit Stick home to HHS. Their ability to perform an excellent half-time show was sharpened as the season progressed, as a result of their hard work and dedication to the success of HHS sports. In cooperation with the Varsity squad, they made it possible for fun entertainment at pep rallies and other perfor- mances. The JV Cheerleaders enjoyed these activities, and managed to persevere through the busiest weeks of the year. Top Center: Karen Kuppich watches the new routines.
