Marshall spirit is AWESOME! Dara Brooks, 10 Junior Varsity Cheerleaders: BACK: J V. Captain Tom Burk, Amy Morgan, Dara Brooks and SEATED: Yvette Flores. School well represented by spirited cheerleaders f A ' -i Planning every pep rally, arranging for spirit, mak- ing sure to wear the right uniform on the right day and constant cheering at a number of athletic events were just some of the jobs encountered by that special group of young ladies known as the Marshall cheerleaders. Whether or not they were in uniform, these ten young ladies rep- resented Marshall spirit wherever they went. During the summer, the cheerleaders attended camp at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. They competed in various drills against some 50+ other squads from across the nation and were awarded runner-up for the Award of Excellence and a spirit stick for Varsity squads. Laura Hauk, senior and Varsity cheerleader was nominated Ail-American finalist. The J.V. squad al- so received a spirit stick and were Award of Excel- lence nominees. Both Varsity and J.V. squads also competed in a national Cheers Competi- tion held here in San An- tonio. Both squads received good marks for their per- formance. Junior Jennifer Kowalik stated, First and foremost, of course, I feel that my responsibilities are to pro- mote school spirit and to encourage support for the athletes. Sophomore Toni Buck agreed, I feel I should set an example for others as far as being spirited and show- ing school pride. Individually, as well as a group, our cheerleaders performed excellently and did a superb job upholding Marshall spirit. Wherever they went, the cheerleaders sparkled high above the crowd.

Spirited squad supports teams through seasons Although they aren ' t al- ways in the limelight, the Pep Squad is the back bone of the entire Rambierette organization. Their duties of making posters and sup- porting the Rams in various athletic competitions kept them busy all year long. Equipped with white bows, red lipstick, and ma- roon and white pom-poms, the Pep Squad marched in- to the stands at Northside stadium to begin a career of yelling and supporting Marshall athletics. The Pep Squad also accompanied the Dance Team during halftimes with many out- standing pom-pom and jazz routines. Several Pep Squad offi- cers also went on a trip to London with Dance Team members. Junior Belinda Radicke said, My most memorable experience is being selected to go to Lon- don. It was a wonderful ex- perience and opp ortunity. After football season, hopeful Pep Squaders start- ed stretching, kicking, and practicing to become future Dance Team members and cheerleaders. Whether or not they went on to become cheerleaders. Dance Team or Pep Squad officers, the Pep Squad girls always rep- resented Ramblerettes and JMHS in an outstanding and devoted way.
