Eight busy girls new to varsity Being a varsity cheerleader has made my senior year very special. All eight of us get along great, and I think it's because none of us have ever been on varsity before. . . it's all new to each one of us. It is a big responsibility and many times I feel as though I'm going in thirty different directions. We have events to go to at least three times a week, which leaves very little time for homework or anything else. We are constantly busy, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. tKelly Koeller, captainj The varsity squad took third place all-around in the Grand Championship Division at the Summer Cheerleading Clinic. They received awards in the areas of super spirit, sparkle and shine, mounts and pyramids, and blue ribbon ex- cellence. They were also awarded an E+ on their competi- tion mount, which was the highest award ever given for mounts. Yell leaders were back on the scene to help the cheerleaders get the crowd together during the football season. Janice Miller was sponsor. v xx Q - Q X3 .
