ConTroveRsv he 1986 season started off with a bang as the football cheerleaders came off of a spectacular summer We learned some new cheers and partner stunts at summer camp which added something ex- tra to cheerleading this season, stated Tanya Wollrab During the season, the cheerleaders performed their regular tasks of organizing pep rallies, making hall and locker signs, and cheering at the Friday night football games The football cheerleading season en- ded on a calm note, but the winter season began with an unsolvable con- troversy With only a few girls going out for varsity cheerleading, a decision was made to have them cheer only at home basket- ball games, wrestling meets, and traveling only for tournaments. Advisor Jill Sterner was asked how she felt about this situation. It was something I had to do and at the time I had no choice! I didn't like it and hope I'll never have to repeat it again Student response on the decision was very negative One student commen- ted. It was almost embarrasing not having cheerleaders at our away games. This situation cast a dim view on the cheerleaders throughout the season Negative comments were heard throughout the season including the girls' trip to state tournaments Football cheerleaders.
