Girls Spark Team Spirit lt's a lot of fun but a lot of hard work goes into it, said J,V. cheerleading captain, Janet Love. The J.V. cheerleaders kept busy by attending all of the J.V. sports. They also cheered during the third quarter for varsity football games when the varsity team went to the opponent's side to do the varsity's hello cheer. The J.V. cheerleaders began practicing last summer. When school started, they practiced two times a week at 6:15 in the morning. Maureen Niggle sponsored the J.V. and varsity teams, su- pervised practices and scheduled the girls to cheer. ' . 7 T 1 , wwvrwwww- ...- f' x ' 2 , . .
