Cheerleaders Promote Enthusiasm These eleven vivacious girls have spirited most of the Big Blue events throughout the year. The football cheerleaders (also basketball and wrestling cheer- leaders) were chosen in the spring of the previous yea which gave them the opportunity to plan for the upcom ing season. In September, the Northern State PE majors sponsored a cheerleading clinic which was at- tended by the football cheerleaders. The cheerleader: raised funds to pay for their skirts and shoes by sponsoring candy sales after school and sock hops fol- lowing several games.
