Cheerleaders Work Hard To Promote School Spirit Lions! Lions! We are the best! Such yells dominated all pep assemblies and sporting events. Cheerleaders devel- oped. led and established cheers and chants. The cheerleaders choreo- graphed the interesting and original routines themselves. Without cheerleaders. pep assem- blies might have been dull and rather monotonous. We make up all of our cheers. but we use some chants that we've learned at camp. said junior LaChandra Hall. Cheerleading was not a skill quickly attained. Cheerleaders worked many years to gain their ex- pertise. I can remember watch- ing college cheerleaders on t.v. when I was little. and I wanted to be like them, said senior Tammy Williams. During pep assemblies. the junior and senior cheerleaders led their respective classes in spirit yells. These competitions promoted class pride while allowing the two classes to act as one spirit. Camps taught the latest techniques and ideas of cheerleading. The girls attended camps at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. East Central Uni- versity in Ada, Oklahoma University in Norman and Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. Even with four ofthe girls being hurt. the squad received the Award of Excellence and tied for the runner-up trophy at SMU. The squad coordinated the Prom Program and Morp dance t'iprom spelled baekwardi. Before games, matches, meets and other sporting events, the girls baked cookies and sent special gifts to the team members. Cheerleaders decorated the hallways with posters that cheered the team to victory. Cheerleading is almost like any other competitive sport.
