Making a positive effort On every Thursday night, anyone could find the freshman and junior varsity cheerleaders at the football games urging the Raiders on to victory. Ms. Susan Hancock was the JV sponsor and sponsoring both the freshman squads was Ms. Peggy Manning. The girls spent much of their time supporting North Garland sports. l really like cheering for the Raiders and supporting them! exclaimed freshman cheerleader Robin Jackson. Cheering at games wasn't a cheerleader's only duty. She performed a cheer each week at the Friday pep rallies and made all signs that decorated the school and that were used at the games. She also treated the coaches with baked goodies each week. lt's a lot of fun being around and working with all the people, commented JV cheerleader Toni Rockow. ln the summer of '82 on June 20, the cheerleaders attended the National Cheerleader Association Camp at Texas Tech in Lubbock with 480 other cheerleaders from all over Texas. At this camp only 76 squads were nominated for the Award of Excellence, all four NG squads were nominated. lt is practically unheard of for both freshman teams to be nominated, explained freshman sponsor Ms. Peggy Manning. The JV team received the runner-up position, as the NG Varsity won the Award of Excellence. All squads won the Spirit Award on the second night of competition and also won blue ribbons at each competition. The 1982-83 JV and freshman cheerleaders were hard-working and dedicated. I enjoy working with kids who are making a positive effort for their school, remarked Ms. Manning. Besides being talented cheerleaders and energetic workers, these young ladies are super people. As JV sponsor Ms. Hancock put it, They enjoy what they do and they are good at it. sip, ...............- CLAPPING ALONG WITH THE BAND at a Friday pep rally are freshman cheerleaders Susie Townsend, Judi Armstrong, Krista Helleson and Julie DiBiase.

TlNA ANDERSON Lindsa Merritt , y , Lisa Dollar, and Jill Albertson put on their smiles and get ready to perform. They've got the beat The bouncy, pop sound of the Go-Go's We Got the Beat echoed throughout the halls of SMU as the 1982-83 North Garland Mam'selles arrived to attend the Southern Methodist University Superstar Camp. Officer camp was held from June 7-11. Fifty-five officer squads were in attendance. The six Mam'selle officers who represented North Garland were Captain Sheri Hayes and Lieutenants Lisa Fortenberry, Laurie Edwards, Jana Hashert, Deborah Steltzlen, and Lindsay Merritt. Out of three creative trophies that were given, North Garland won the Most Creative Officer Squad trophy.

Winning trophies was not the only reason for going to camp, As Lindsay Merritt stated, 'tWe went to camp because we wanted to learn. We wanted to learn to get along with each other individually and as an officer squad. We wanted to be the best squad we could be. A week after officer camp, from June 21-25, line camp was held with thirteen hundred girls competing there. The week was filled with hard work and long hours. The girls practiced all day, breaking only long enough for lunch and dinner. All of this hard work paid off though. The Mam'selles were awarded the Sweepstakes which meant they had won more blue ribbons than any other squad there. The girls also received the Take Home Spirit Pom. In addition, only 22 girls out of the 1,300 that attended were named Superstar Girls. Sheri Hayes and Laurie Edwards from North Garland were among those that were named. Mam'selle Liz Lynch commented, We were really confident when we went to camp, and ready for it. We had long hours and worked hard, but it was worth it because we won practically everything! WITH DETERMINATION ON HER FACE, Lisa Fortenberry works hard at learning a new routine.
