Who had made it? As the outgo- ing members of the squad called 12 girls' names, there were cheers, hugs and tears. best moment of cheerlead- me was when I made it, out the flowers, The ing for said freshman Erica I-Ioweth. Later that night the squad found out that this year would be busy. Coming out of eighth grade into ninth grade is a pretty big step, es- pecially having extra-curricular ac- tivities after and before school that demand a lot of time and energy, said freshman Pam Combs. There was a lot to prepare for. They had practice everyday for two to three hours. They also had to get their uniforms, plan for cheerlead- ing camp, and more. Practice started the week after tryouts. The squad prepared for camp for almost two months. It was held by the Universal Cheer- leading Association and held at O.S.U. Camp lasted four days. The squad worked hard from morning to night. I think all the hard work and effort that we put into cheerleading is worth it, said freshman Tricia Moore. . The last day of camp proved all the preparation and hard work had paid off. The squad won a spirit stick everyday, twenty blue superi- or first place ribbons, two gold su- perior first place ribbons, two camp championship first place trophies, and a spirit stick to take home. Our mascot won a spirit stick everyday, three, blue superior first place ribbons, and the spirit stick 9 Cheerleaders GOIN ll! to take home. Altogether, the squad took home the maximum they could win. The best thing that happened to me was at camp when we took ever- ything. I was proud of myself and my squad, said sophomore Alex Aitken. Practice started a month before school started. They knew they would have to work hard to make the year a success. We always do our best at prac- tice so we will do even better when we cheer, said sophomore Angie Blackwood. They had to plan for assemblies, dances to co-sponsor, posters to make, games to cheer at, practice, and, of course, they had to promote school spirit within the school. We try to promote school spirit and show the teams and coaches that we love them and want them to win, said freshman Andrea Max- well. During football season the squad cheered their team on to victory. I was so proud of our freshman team for being undefeated and our sophomores for their great season, said sophomore Tresa Lupton. After the busy football season was over, they had to prepare for the winter sports. I support our athletes by cheer- ing them on and helping them any way I can, said Kim Whish. After winter sports were over the squad practiced for spring assem- blies. I think all the time and hard work is worth it 'cause in the end we feel proud that we could do it, said freshman Heather Meldrum. After that it didn't stop. Now they must prepare for the 1987-88 year. I am going to try out again but for cheerleader, said Kevin Rich- ardson. For the ones who make it, it 'would be another year of hard work and lots of fun. she helps introduce the football players STATE YOUR NAME says Leslie Harris as I W H .Hwa- DONT DROP ME! says Trici Tresa Lupton. if t r s a Moore to
