t Cheer G0uY?d?7 n Kamal Calmness surrounded the quad as anx- ious fans awaited the finale of the cheer skit. Dressed as football players, members of the squad cried, Hey, Ram-aid! in need of relief for the Poly game. Michele Crane, portraying Ram-aid, charged through a poster of a locker room to help boost spirit that night. This was one of the cheerleaders' favorite skits, but they had other creative ideas such as the Fire-starter and Ramotal Vitamin skits. Spirit Camp was delayed until the end of August: nevertheless, it was valuable to the squad. Head Varsity Cheerleader Staci Tisher commented, Although we dreaded getting up at 7:00 every morning, we had a great time and learned many chants and cheers. They also brought home a spirit stick for their extra enthusiasm and cooperativeness. Melissa Affre said, There were so many different schools at camp we were really excited and surprised that we received this award. Robbie Ram is a girl? exclaimed sopho- more Wendi Plunkett as the mascots re- vealed their true identities during the Homecoming rally. Due to the absence of male enthusiasm, Michelle Tuttle took on the part of Robbie while Suzie I-Ieffley ac- cepted the more traditional role of Millie. ' , Without the presence of a male counter- part, certain stunts, such as getting on each other's shoulders, were difficult to perform. It doesn't make much of a difference to us not having a boy mascot, explained Mi- chelle. , I think doing skits helped to give Millie and Robbie more exposure, replied Suzie. The two girls made up an original song about Millikin for sophomore orientation and decided to pass it down as a tradition for future mascots.
