Cheerleaders The Meade Varsity A Cheerleading Squad had a very successful cheering sea- son. Cheering for both Varsity football and basketball, the young lady mustangs found themselves with countless hours of prac- tice and almost no free time. During the summer they held two canfvashes to raise money for new uniforms. When school started they sold sweatshirts, which sold very well and raised the uniform money. The cheerleaders also appeared on 'flt's Academic to support the team. The Meade cheerleaders were under the spon- sorship of Mr. Marino. The squad was com- posed of 3 seniors, 6 juniors, and 3 sopho- mores. The B squad cheerleaders also had a successful year as they cheered for boys varsity soccer and wrestling. They too held carvvashes and bake sales to buy new uni- forms. This young squad, with hard work and determination, turned out to be suc- cesslul. J.K.

An Act With Class When students attended a Meade var- sity football or basketball game, they did not just see the game. Fans also saw the Meade Pom Pons squad perform their dance routine during halftime. The squad was led this year by senior co-captains Sandy Wentworth and Michelle McGriff. Tryouts for the 1983- 1984 squad were held at the end of the 82-83 school year. The fourteen member team, sponsored by Ms. Logan, practiced every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs- day from 2:00 until 3:30 during football and basketball season. At practice, the squad choreographed, set to music and practiced their routines. Individual mem- bers of the team put together routines or steps, and the new steps, or an entire routine, were adopted by the rest of the squad if the rest of the squad liked the additions. In addition to performing at home games, the Pom Pons squad also traveled to Baltimore to perform on the lt's Academic show. They also per- formed atthe fall and winter pep rallies. To raise funds, the girls sold pom pon shak- ers and megaphones during football sea- son and Meade Mustang shoelaces dur- ing basketball season.
