The 1981-82 cheerleaders provided the football, volleyball, basketball, and wrestling teams with tremendous support not only during the regular season but also during district and state competitions. But cheers and stunts weren ' t the whole story behind that support. They bought streamers and painted posters to decorate gyms and stands whether the Vikings were play- ing at home or away. By selling spirit ribbons and raffling cakes at basketball halftimes, they were able to finance such activities as the Homecoming Dance in October. Rigorous summer practicing helped them earn ribbons for excellence, super stunts , outstanding entrances and exits, giving 110 percent of their energy, and the second place trophy at the ICF clinic at Doane College. The Squad wa s led by captain Melissa Anderson and sponsored by Mrs. Lou Gil- more. Year Around Support for N.W.

Letterwinners Spell Pride Letterwinners is a special group of students who have worked long and hard to become the best they could become in a particular sport, and yet, at the same time. remember that the team always comes before the individual. They have always provided the heart of Northwest athletic squads. An Athletic letter is awarded to a person after a sport ' s season when that individual has played a specified amount of time in each game or has been recommended by coaches for an exceptional performance on or off the playing field. This year, the letter winners, through money they raised in concessions, bought a new hip sled for the weight room. President John Haubold provided continuous team sup- port this year when he led cheers at basketball games. Other officers were; Rob Fall- dorf, Vice President; Kelly Mendyk, Secretary, and Coach Tom Hill was sponsor.

Vikettes Add Style to Games The Northwest Varsity Vi- kettes busily prepared for per- formances by practicing very hard during the year. During the summer they placed third in final competition and first for home routine at the Doane College Clinic. They marched in the Shrine Bowl, Harvest of Harmony, and the Wayne State College Parades. The Vikettes kept the beat as they performed to many songs at Football and Basketball games. A new look was added to the Vikettes as they switched to flags during Football games. The climax for this year ' s Vikettes was performing as Flappers to Big Spender and the Woodchoppers Ball , and performing at Girls and Boys State Basketball. The Vikettes participated in other activities during the year such as sponsoring the Winter Sports Dance, helping with Pep Rallies, playing in the Powder Puff Football game, and holding the Raffle-A-Date.
