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.

Holding Their Flags High Bi rerete nn Ae Be Eos ite ass se The Color Guard is a large part of the spirit and leadership that in- fluences Monacan stu- dents throughout the year. They participate in a number of events, such as the football and bas- ketball games at half- time, pep rallies, and pa- rades. They work hard to perfect their perfor- mances and represent Monacan to the best of their abilities. The girls began their practicing by attending band-front camp at Fer- rum College in June. They practiced five days a week after school until the end of the football season. Led by sponsor Mrs. Leubs, the eight members extended their talents outside of the school this past year. They travelled to North Carolina for the Cary Band Day, and there they captured third place with the band.
