Varsity cheerleaders had just tak- en an unprecedented second place in the State Fair contest. The Reserves, entered as Marion County champions, brought home a fifth place trophy. Hard work, dedication, and determination had brought the cheerleaders to the quality of excellence that they had achieved. During the past summer, they had attended a cheerleading camp at Vincennes University. At the camp, which lasted five days, the cheerleaders won the spirit stick three times which enabled them to bring the stick back to Perry as a permanent memento. Also, at the comp, the award for Miss Gymnast was given ' to varsity cheerleader, Kelly Enright. In order to purchase new uniforms, the cheerleaders sponsored many fund raisers throughout the year. They included selling of license plates, key chains, and stocking caps. The squads also sponsored a physique contest which brought in money from each class dur- ing the week of the Southport game. Sponsored by Mrs. Tompkins, Miss McClain, and Mrs. Pennington, the cheerleaders backed the school with spirit and pride.
