, Gra 2 Stars, ey. The best thing about cheerleading is seeing that our support helps encourage the team. So said Lezli Thompson, senior varsity cheerleader. While everyone at a game or rally saw them out on the track, either cheering on the teams or leading the crowd in an organized cheer, many did not realize that the varsity squad also spent many, many hours in other ways as part of their role as cheerleaders. For example, painting signs in preparation for a game consumed much time. Rehearsals occupied mornings before school, as well as two or three after- noons each week, in preparation for the upcoming games. Other regular activi- ties included making spirit notes and baking cookies. Raising the spirit of the crowds was the second major goal - both at rallies and games. To prepare themselves, the cheerleaders participated in two camps -- one at Cal State, the other at Foot- hill day camp -- where many new rou- tines were practiced and developed to precision. Incidentally, several medals and trophies were brought home from the camps! Composed of two groups - song lead- ers and yell leaders - the girls actually worked together as one unit in all of their activities. tL.., 4, - - in 841 Varsity Cheerleaders -n
