CHEERLEADERS CARRY ON THE TRADITION The Varsity Cheerleaders are getting ready to spell EAGLES at a pep rally Missy Collins decides she wants to exchange places with a football player. Kelli Hilliard gives a smile and shows her spirit for her team, Northside. Lisa Lowe is shocked to see the camera is focused on her. The 1989-89 Varsity Cheerleading squad consisted of eleven devoted members with eight of them being returning seniors. During the summer, these girls spent long hours practicing for cheerleading camp which was held at Georgia Southern College in July of 1988. Their dedication and hard work paid off when these cheerleaders won Grand Champions during their week at ICF Camp. The cheerleaders were simply estatic when they were announced the overall win- ners for the second year in a row. In addition to winning Grand Champions, they won three superior ribbons, and the pyramid competition. In addition, Lisa White was named All American and received the honor of going to Nashville to compete in the big competiton which was held there over the Christmas holidays of 1988. Throughout the school year, these cheerleaders showed their enthusiasm and spirit for Northside under the guidance of their sponsor Ms. Frances Woelfel, captain Kelli Hilliard, and co-captain Lisa Lowe. Not only did the cheerleaders represent their school teams well at football and basketball games, but they also spent many hours cre ating skits, stunts, and cheers to “pump up” the Northside student body at pep rallies. For instance, they boosted school spirit at each pep rally by giving a spirit stick to the most spirited class, by doing several stunts, cheers, and raps, and by even padding up in football uniforms and scrimmaging with students representing the “other side.” The girls also made signs for the football players’ locker rooms. The cheerleaders also cheered at all the basketball games and maintained school spirit for the teams throughout the year. The squad will lose nine seniors at the end of the year. Not only can the cheerleaders cheer very well, they can also rap and play a good game of football, even if it was only at a pep rally. 236 Cheerleaders
