Time Gut For Spirit Twenty-four girls from area middle schools, stood nervously in the gym. All were anxious to discover who would represent the mighty North Garland freshman football team. At last the National Cheerleading Association selected twelve spirited girls. Tami Jellison as captain, Dulcie Chapa, Susie Cox, Jill Henderson, Linda Herklotz, and Sandra McClure, cheered for the black team and Stephaine Daniels, Laura Dasher, Ronda Erickson, Kathrina Vrba, Cheryl Townsend, and captain Kasey Miller for the red team. With slightly more experience, freshman girls tried out and were chosen by their classmates as cheerleaders. From fourteen girls, six were selected to promote school spirit for the Junior Varsity football team. They are Jody Millian as captain, Gayla LiCausi, Mary Beth Hill, Kellea Freeman, Sheri Hayes, and Rene Flandsom. After freshman and Junior Varsity squads were selected, they attended the University of Tulsa's cheerleading camp. At the camp the freshman team won blue ribbons and spirit sticks each day, and were nominated for four of the six awards of excellence. The JV cheerleaders won blue ribbons, and spirit sticks daily, and were nominated for the award of excellence and the spirit megaphone. Head Cheerleader Jody McMillan stated, lt was a lot of hard work, but it was really worth the effort. We also had fun competing and learning new cheers. After camp, freshman and JV girls returned to North Student Life Garland to continue performing. Not only did they cheer at football and basketball games, they contributed to the varsity pep rallies. Freshman cheerleaders decorated the industrial arts hall, 100, 200, 300, and 400 classroom halls and the break area with signs and crepe paper. At the varsity pep-rallies, they participated in the competition yell. JV cheerleaders decorated the gym and the cafeteria and did one cheer and the JV competition yell. After the pep rally, both squads undecorated and cleaned up each week. First year freshman sponsor, Miss Susan Handcock, commented that she was very proud of the freshman cheerleaders. The girls were very organized and hard-working and really enjoyed cheerleading. Miss Ann Hughs, JV sponsor, remarked, The group was very talented and extremely vivacious. Each girl was decicated and gave one hundred percent effort at all times. Commenting on performing at the games and pep rallies, JV cheerleader Gayla LiCausi said, I am usually not nervous but excited. It is like all day long the spirit has been building up and you can finally let it out. We are all usually anxious and enthusiastic.
