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.

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.
