CHEERLEADERS SET PACE EOR Cheerleaders spur J.V.'s to victory. 4:61 Supplementing the boys, participation in sports, the cheerleaders are a necessary part of the basketball season. While promoting school spirit, the girls' duty is to keep up the standards of good sportsmanship and to encourage school support in a constructive manner. While there is a great deal of work, time, and effort in- volved, the rewards are great not only in the fun of cheering, hut also in meeting cheerlead- ers from other schools and exchanging opinions and ideas with them. Tryouts were especially early this year so the new squad could cheer for our soccer team. Although it meant a stepped-up practice sched- ule, the girls were delighted, and it created a greater interest in soccer and a more enthus- iastic beginning for the sports season. 44 Between periods, cheerleaders stimulate school spirit.
