Garcia, Smith add deeper tone to squad Add two guys to a traditionally all-girl cheerleading squad and what do you get? Students attitudes ranged from critical to greatly approving. The girls on the squad felt that the guys ' strengthened ' the squad. And the guys themselves were pleased with their decision to try out. Friends and ex- cheerleaders influenced me to try out and I ' m glad I did because it was a great ex- perience and I enjoyed the exposure, com- mented varsity cheerleader Leon Smith. Leon Smith and Jesse Garcia were the first two male cheerleaders in Reagan ' s history. The 1981- ' 82 varsity cheerleaders had the unique opportunity of cheering on a district-winning football team. With this opportunity came lots of hard work. The cheerleaders attended camp at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos dur- ing the summer. They received a trophy for most improved in a novice group. The cheerleaders also attended other events such as baseball games, soccer games, track and gymnastics meet. A part of games and pep rallies that most people tend to overlook are the Spirit Managers. They are the people who set up the microphone system, the run-through sign, and the Reagan Raider banner, and generally just help out the cheerleaders. Being a Spirit Manager means working hard and having fun. When asked what the best part of being a Spirit Manager was, Dawn Lloyd joked, Everyone saying ' I want to be one of them ' but seriously, being down on the field and being a part of everything.
