UP SPIRITED SMOKE SIGNALS This year our Shawnee cheerleaders took a week of their summer to attend a rigorous cheerleading clinic. The Junior Varsity attended camp at Randolph Macon College in Lynchburg and the Varsity at Lynchburg College. It was up at 6:00, yelling, jumping and smiling all day, and then to bed fsupposedlyj for some much needed rest. Usually nights at camp were spent meeting other cheerleaders from different schools, eating Doritos, and waiting to use the phone. Back at home once again, our cheerleaders racked their brains trying to remember what they learned at camp. During school, practice for cheerleaders is at least once a week, and it seems like there is always a game or something to take up the rest of their time. Our cheerleaders work very hard, but all their efforts are for the school, and it is all worth it. Hnwma Front: Debbie Roberts. Second row, left to right: Karen Francis, Tammy Wolfe, Carol Claxton.

The G.A.A. sponsored all the girls' basketball games and this year's Homecoming. Rick Johnson, the D..l. at WJJJ, played records for the I Homecoming dance. Ernest Washington and Beverly Edwards were crowned King and Queen. This year, the club started out by straightening out the G.A.A. point system and recalculating the number of points everybody has. To date, 250 points will earn a girl a G.A.A. letter, 100 more points a bar, and 100 additional points a star. Initiation: the torture that all new members have to go through, was on November 16, and to Continue the ritual, the girls stayed after school. Approximately 10 girls were subjec- ted to the ordeal. The G.A.A. has many plans for future girls' sports and with everyone's help, they'll accomplish them. D. J. from WJJJ makes music at Shawnee City 40
