Most of kmg 0f the Winter camwal' them were a part of the Heidelberg High School Student Government and the gymnastics team. The other extra-cure ricular activities they participated in ranged from Model United Nations to track. Their hobbies were very diverse and consisted of gymnastics, skiing, dancing, tennis, shopping, being with friends and reading. All of them felt the stereotype of cheerleaders as ttairheadstt or ttsnobstt was completely untrue. They felt the ste- reotype is outdated and hoped people would take another look at their cheer- leaders as athletes and scholars. The 1986-87 Varsity Cheerleaders were definitely unique in their own indi- vidual ways, yet they were able to work well as a team. URSULA MURRIN HLifeTs a beach and then you die?
