JV ' s Know We ' re No. 1 EEEEEH ... a spider! Have you ever stayed up all night because a friend saw a spider? That ' s w hat happened v hen the junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleaders attended Randolph-Macon College this summer. Kelly Ewers would not go to bed be- cause she was afraid of small, creepy things. After returning from camp with a lot of new chants and cheers (but no spiders) and full of spirit, the JV ' s began their planning for the new season. They worked on old and new cheers when they met once a week in the summer. The girls were enthusiastic as these comments show: Sometimes competition was really tough be- tween the teams and this was all the more reason to yell louder and cheer harder. Homecoming was hectic, especially when there were a dozen or more people asking for something different to eat. Pep rallies sure were great this year. I was almost as excited when we did our skits as the crowd was! Hey, do you remember the parade and how we didn ' t decorate the float until the morning of the parade? I didn ' t think we were going to make it. These past two years as a JV cheerleader have really been great! I felt I was a part of something special. Sometimes a lot of people didn ' t come to the JV games, but it didn ' t really matter because we were there as a squad, cheering for a victory.

In the closing seconds of the game with Dan River, Dan River was ahead by one point and Amy Pace was fouled A time out was called, and then the play resumed. Amy walked up to the line, the nervous twitch at the corner of her mouth the only break in her composure. Then, as if at prac- tice, she sank the first one. After jumping wildly all over the court, she walked cooly back and sank the other one which gave the Lancers their second victory. When you win only two games in a season, it helps to win with style. The team was led by senior captains, Charlene Elliott and Pam L Stegall Leading scorer was sophomore, Shirleen Perkins, who averaged 1 8, followed by Amy Pace with a 9 average. One player felt this way about the sea- son: Sometimes winning isn ' t as important as making friends with other teams and with people from your own school that you didn ' t know before ABOVE LEFT: During a time-out, Ms Barbara Boswell tells the girls to keep their arms out for defense ABOVE RIGHT Theatrics are part of Amy Paces style Here she voices her disagn CENTER At a Sunday afternoon get together.
