They started practicing immediately for the camp they would attend in late July. Cheerleader Tina Wollrab said, The camp was a lot of work. We practiced long hours both before and during our 3 day stay. But we also learned lots of new things that helped to better our whole squad. The squad won the camp's group cheer award and two in- dividual cheering awards were given to Becky Musser and Alicia Havel The cheerleaders then began raising money for the trip to Lansing They held car washes, bake sales, and numerous dances in order to pay for the trip. This income along with the communitie’s con- tributions provided the cheerleaders with the money they needed While in Michigan, the squad com- peted in the Skit and Cheer divisions. Their skit.
