WRESTLING CHEERLEADERS SP MEW The wrestling cheerleaders have to give up a lot of spare time when wrestling season rolls around. The schedule is very busy, and they often have to wear their cheerleading outfits to school as many as three days in a row. However, the effort is worth it because the | wrestlers really appreciate them. Wrestling is a fast growing sport but most people do not under- stand the rules like they do in football or basketball. This leaves the sport lacking in spectators and noisy crowds. The tournaments are pretty crowded but if only the students and faculty of McGavock would become more interested in the exciting sport of wrestling, they would learn to love it almost as much as the cheerleaders do! by Donna Thompson cra = = .

This year a freshmen class was added to the school. It was also different because it meant quite a few changes and additions. These additions included freshmen teams for football, basketball, wrestling and oth- er sports. oc: na menaeannerntmenernncenesecosoattt Another addition was a freshman cheerleading squad. Instead of trying out for the squad in the spring of the year before; tryouts were in the fall of this year. Trying out for the squad in the fall created a problem in preparing for the first football game of the season. That is one game the squad did not make it to.
