The most familiar views of the high school cheerleader are at the football games and pep rallies, but what is behind the scene? The Monacan J.V. Cheer- leader works everyday after school per- fecting jumps and cheers, decorating lockers, boosting athletic spirit, and painting signs and posters. The girls on the squad are continually raising money to help support these programs. Competing for 1 The J.V.’s try for perfection at the cheerleading competition. Their cheers are ex- ecuted with enthusiasm, pep, and spirit. They run from door to door enlightening every guy’s heart by selling him a candle, and sweetening every guy's lips — no, not with a kiss, but with a doughnut. They use these projects to defray expenses for equipment such as uniforms, mega- phones, and pom-pons. lf asked, any Monacan Junior Varsity Cheerleader will tell you that the fun part of her job is cheering. Maybe this is why they are so good at it . They won the ‘‘Dy- namite Award’’ at DCA (Dynamic Cheer- leading Association) camp, which was held in Williamsburg this past summer. They also placed third in over all competi- tion. All the Cheerleaders agree that the work and practice becomes annoying at times, but cheering is worth it.
