olnlng olces Cheerleoders work hord to support their fo vorites his year's football cheerleaders start- ed getting ready for football season as early as last spring, when tryouts were held. Cheerleader- hopefuls were required to perform an individual cheer and to make up, along with a partner, 2 original cheers. Cheerleaders were cho- sen onthe basis of originali- ty and enthusiasm, said varsity football squad coach, Mrs. Rogina. After the squads had been selected, it was time for summer camp! At cheer- leading camp, the girls were taught new cheers and developed a dance routine. For the second year in a row, the I.-W girls were chosen as the Most Dynamic Squad and were awarded, of course, a stick of dynamite Cwell, a fake onel. This year, the varsity and sophomore squads qualified to go to Hawaii for a national competition, but had to decline the offer because of a lack of funds. Once the summer fun is over, it's time for work. The girls had early-morn- ing practices 2 or 3 times a week before and during the football season. Even though the girls only had to cheer at nine football games, they had to prac- tice almost as much as the players. They also had to deal with the rain and cold that always accompanies football games. Soon, the football season was over, What did I like most about cheerleading? Well, we got to wear some really nice skirts! - Jill Hasch ls Dawn White asking for help from above as she cheers at a var- sity wrestling meet at the East Campus? Even though the weather was at its worst for the Homecoming game, I did my best to cheer our team on to a victory. - Maria Brcik CHEERLEADERS ..,,,.,w- , and it was time for the cheerleaders to move in- doors for the winter. The basketball and wres- tling cheerleaders may have had a more hectic job than the football girls. First of all, the wrestling cheer- leaders cheered at almost 20 meets, including a cou- ple all-day tournaments. They also supported their favorites at the regional and sectional tournaments. The basketball cheerlead- ers didn't have it any easier - voicing their enthusiasm at over 20 Knight games. It all paid off, however, ac- cording to freshman bas- ketball cheerleader Sue Martenson. The practices and early-morning games were tiring, but it was worth it when we could get the crowd's spirit into the game. - Mike DeCastro 81 Chris Doell
