RHS spirit reborn! Four cheer squads spark enthusiasm Six new cheerleaders were cho- sen this year to form a new soph- omore basketball cheerleading squad. This is the first time in Roosevelt ' s history that sophomores have assumed the responsibilities of leading cheers. The reason for the addition of sophomore cheerleaders is to give all of the six basketball teams more equal support, explained Lisa Knight, captain of the varsity bas- ketball cheerleaders. During the middle of the year, the cheerleaders combined efforts to sell Roosevelt scarves, mittens, and hats. The money earned from these sales was used to help defray the cost of decorating locker rooms and painting posters. Seven basketball cheerleaders attended a special cheerleading camp during the summer to practice old cheers and learn new ones as well as to perfect skills. Ms. Paula Krings sponsored the groups before leaving for New York during second semester. Mr. Jerald Curnutt, Mrs. Caroline Egli, and Miss Margaret Maloney were the second semester sponsors.

New Color Guard has first season A new group — the Color Guard — was formed this year to assist the Roosevelt Marching Band. Four of the 12 Color Guard carry flags and the others carry rifles. The flags carried represent America, Iowa, the Bicentennial, and the Original Thirteen Colonies. Head Riderette Nanci McCon- nell attended a clinic during the summer and brought back new ideas and marching skills. Other officers were Vice-Head Courtney Neu- mann, Secretary Marcia Harding, Treasurer Beth Case, and strippers Barb Tiffin and Sarah Wenner- strum. The eight Flaggies, headed by Captain Daisy Hoyt, also march and perform with the band. They received new flag poles and made their own flags which they present- ed at the boys state wrestling tour- name nt. All three of these groups accom- panied the band and orchestra to Washington, D.C. to perform in the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade.
