Explosive Energies Perhaps the longest seasonal sport at North Fort Myers High School is cheerleading. No one knows the feelings of winning and losing more than a cheerleader. Being right down there with the players gives a feeling no one can describe. Imagine a football or basketball game without the touch of color and class that on- ly the spirit and enthusiasm of cheerleaders can add. Red Knight spirit and pride have always been amply displayed by North's varsity andjunior varsity cheerleaders. Under the direction and supervision of Ms. Dorrie Fleming and Ms. Ginny Canning, this yeor's squads were no exceptions. Starting late in the '84 school year, one week of tryouts were held. Seven spots were open for the '84-'85 varsity football- basketball squad, while in junior varsity the entire squad of nine was to be filled. Audi- competitive, but the choice was finally made. The formality of tryouts being over, it was then time to get down to business. New uniforms were chosen and ordered. Pep rally outfits were also voted on and purchased. ln the heat and humidity of Ju- ly, practices actually began. Chants, mounts, and cheers were taught to the newcomers. Hours and hours of practice were put in to make sure everyone was ready for the first game of September. When the football season began, North's Cheerleoding squads were indeed ready and looking most impressive. Throughout the football season and into the basketball seoson, our cheering Red Knights con- tinued to support our players in the tradi- tional North Fort Myers High School sportsman-like way. Cheering at athletic events is only part of 130 tions for these sixteen spots were very the service our Red Knight cheerleaders of- . .

Cheerleoding fered. Their assistance during the opening school days helped the process move swiftly. ln December, 1984 they were in- vited to keep score and cheer during half- time at the Harlem Globe Trotters Basket- ball game. That same month, they worked at the Knight Classic Run, sponsored by Pepsi. The cheerleaders helped with refreshments and handed out numbers to finishing runners. Again, volunteering their time and support to a charitable organiza- tion, the Red Knight Cheerleaders per- formed at the Cystic Fibrosis baseball half- time show. North's cheerleaders were more than spirit leaders at athletic events. They pro- moted good will for North High School as they did various community services. As principal Ed Stickles proclaimed, Our cheerleaders are dependable and repre- sent the school excellently. lf l ask them to do something, I know it will get done. L '. ' M ---+---e
