Cheerleading isn’t all fun and games, although most of the time is spent on the latter. After they make it through tryouts it’s work, work, work. After deciding on a uniform for next year the cheer- leaders and their sponsor plan projects to make money to pay for this uniform. Some of the cheerleaders plan on going to camp this summer, which is a lot of hard work, too. Getting up at 6:30 in the morning and being pep- py isn’t what it's all cracked up to be. Camp gives the cheerleaders a chance to meet new people and to get new ideas for next year on new routines and cheers. The cheerleaders had a few money making projects last summer; some of these pro- jects included a car wash and bake sale at Falley’s in North Topeka, home interiors par- ty, and car wash and bake sale at Calderwood’s. Finally after all the car wash- es, bake sales, etc. are done, school begins and so does more work; to prepare for pep rallies, cheering and trying to raise school spirit at games and practicing for these games all go hand in hand with the responsibility of being a cheerleader The purpose of the Royal Valley cheerleaders is to pro- mote and uphold school spir- it, to develop good sports- manship among the students, and to build a better relation- ship with our competing schools during athletic events.
