152 Spirit support staff The fall cheerleaders got off to a suc- cessful start. They were made up of three squads; freshmen, varsity volleyball and varsity football. Varsity squad captain Melisa Martin said, iiThe one thing we always had to re- member was to work together as a team. This is the first year we concentrated on working up cheers, chants and mounts in- stead of just painting posters during our Wednesday night meetings. I think it real- ly helped us improve?

During the summer, the fall cheerlead- ers traveled to Drury College for All-Star Cheerleader Conference Camp. The varsi- ty gold squad received the spirit star the first night. They also received the Grand Champion trophy. The varsity black squad received a Spirit Star the first night, and placed third overall.

.s ...m-..;........ 154 Champions of spirit Unsung heroes, usually referred to as the ttlinemenll of football, can also be known as the cheerleaders. Many people forget that cheerleaders even exist; they often receive little or no support. The 1985-86 girls basketball, boys basket- ball and wrestling cheerleaders had a very successful season. Every team had win- ning records and many awards were cap- tured during summer camp. Much time was spent throughout the year to support the athletic teams. Cheer- leaders stayed after school for hours at a time to paint posters, decorate lockers and make banners. Girls basketball, Row 1: Tammy Brodrick, Jackie Michael. Row 2: Kim Dustin, Cris Allen. Large cookies were sold last year as a fundraiser for uniforms and camp. More cookies were sold than ordered. Pep assemblies were a major responsi- bility of the cheerleaders. Striving to make them enjoyable and interesting took plenty of brainstorming during Wednesday night practices. Junior cheerleader, Tracy Martin said, This years cheerleading season was a lot of fun and Ilm sure that next years season will be just as enjoyable. We really worked hard this year and 1m hoping we will get Grand Champs again at ASCC Cheerlead- ing Camp next year? ,uV ; ,, , w,v?tfm Boys basketball. Row 1: Jennifer Chamberlin.
