The Junior Varsity Cheer- leading Squad does a fantas- tic job of sparking the pep and enthusiasm of our Mona- can fans. The girls work dili- gently throughout the entire Junior Varsity year to support and represent our school in the best way possible. Painting signs, prac- ticing frequently, selling pro- grams at Varsity games, and cheering their hardest at their own events, the girls put in a great deal of time and effort. Under the leadership of Mrs. Raynes, the sponsor, and Tra- cy Selph, the Captain, the girls had a very successful 1984-1985 year, performing professionally at games, and best of all showing a certain high-standard and class that all of Monacan can admire.

With pep and spirit, Stephanie and Nicole energetically perform their cheer. Varsity Pride The Varsity Cheerleading Squad plays a major role in the spirit and enthusiasm that spark the Chiefs to their many victories. These twelve junior and senior girls start early in the summer and do not finish practicing, cheering for games, and promoting school spirit until the follow- ing spring. Their season starts with Varsity football and ends with basketball. Howev- er, they can be found at any time of the year planning pep rallies, making spirit posters, or cheering the players to a victory. Led by the sponsor Mrs. Pickels and the Captain Kris- tie Mensing, the girls had an victory. outstanding year. They par- ticipated in a summer cheer- ing camp and took home a first-place trophy. This boosted their spirits and brought the girls together to form the hard-working, spir- ited, and vivacious squad, which had led the Monacan fans for the last year. The cheerleaders have a philos- ophy which has kept them de- termined to be the best that they can be. This is ‘“Mona- can Chiefs — A Reason for Pride.” The 1984-85 Varsity Squad has certainly shown this pride and has represent- ed Monacan in the best way possible. As the national anthem is played, the Varsity Cheerleaders stand at attention.

The Freshman Cheerlead- ing Squad led by sponsor Mrs. Wagstaff, had an excellent cheering season. The girls’ hard work began with tryouts in the spring of nineteen eighty four. They practiced in the summer once a week, and attended the Dynamic Cheer- leading Association Camp in Freshmen Roanoke. There they took an overall second place award. Their season continued in full force during the fall; and fre- quently during the football and basketball seasons. They cheered up to six times a week for the junior varsity and the varsity girls basketball teams. They also helped at football games, and cheered for the JV-boys basketball games. The busy squad, consisting of ten girls, contributed greatly to the spirit of their class. Their livliness and willing- ness to be a part of the school added to their charm. Spirit is shown as the freshmen cheerleaders participate in the Homecoming Parade. Freshman Cheerleaders.
