Varsity Cheerleaders Participate in Camp 1 g C if if T lfeumis .,, koussuotn ii- ! Q mi cs- A is ' il if Riding down Monroe Street, perched on a convertible, the Varsi- ty Cheerleading squad takes part in the Homecoming Parade. After attending a cheerleaders camp in.Wildwood, Fla., the Varsity Cheerleaders wasted little time bringing some of the spirit back to Rickards. For this year's pep squad it was more than just practice and cheering. They organized all the pep rallies, followed the football team on every out-of-town game, made pep signs, cheered for the basketball tournament in jacksonville during the Christmas holidays, sold baseball tickets and served as bat girls for the team during baseball season. The girls had three sets of uniforms. They paid for them by selling Tom Wat kits and car tags. The goal for this year's squad was to bring the student body clo- ser together and to create more school spirit. Sara Dockery was elected captain. One member, Cindy McClendon, cut the starting eight-girl squad to seven when she moved away from Tallahassee in the fall. For most of the squad, this was the first year and there was a lot to be done. They felt they were together and had improved through practice. Along with three uniforms, which they wore on the day of and to the games, the girls also sometimes wore blue and gold plaid pants and a blue blouse or a football jersey and jeans on the days of j.V. games. l VARSITY CHEERLEADERS: fFrontl Mary Roe, Linda Shef- Southerlandg fBack Row, Saundra Bruce, Bonnie Corbett. lNot field, Sara Dockery, captain, lSecond Rowl Kristin Hough, janet PlCIl-lfedi ClndY Mcclendon who moved from T3ll3ha55ee-
