Pep assemblies present the perfect opportunity for the cheerleaders to combine efforts in building a pyramid. Cheerleaders win excellence award Bringing home the Award of Excellence from the National Cheerleading Associa- tion's Cheerleading Camp at Fort Hays State College was a highlight for the 1982-83 cheerleaders. The Grizzly squads competed with 50 other squads from all over Kansas and Missouri for four days and at the end of the camp, the Northwest Var- sity Football Cheerleaders were awarded the Award of Excellence for being the most outstanding squad at the camp. The Varsity and junior Varsity squads were awarded a Super Star Squad ribbon and Spirit Stick for being the most spirited. When the squads returned from camp they found themselves busy preparing for the upcoming seasonal sports events. Sell- ing magnetic notepads and holding a sum- mer clinic for the sophomores who were in- terested in becoming a Sophomore Cheerleader were just a few of the many projects they participated in. Cheering at all of the football, basket- ball, volleyball and wrestling contests gave the teams the support and enthusiasm they needed to feel encouraged. The cheerleaders also gave support to spring athletic competitions. The cheerleaders were also noted for the candy sacks they made for the team members and the posters they painted and hung throughout the Commons. Many hours were spent baking and decorating cookies and cakes for in- dividual teams. Being a cheerleader meant more than performing in front of a crowd. It also meant spending many long hours practicing and perfecting cheers and pyramids that were performed at games and pep assemblies. A lot of money was spent by each cheerleader in buying and baking goodies for the sacks. The general consensus of the cheerleaders was that being a part of a spirit squad was a lot of fun, but definitely involved more work and time than most people realize.
