VJ, Beef Many factors are essential to the development of a good athlete. The applause of an approving audience, the roar of a crowd, the chiding of disappointed fans, the winning of a first place trophy, or a crushing defeat by a rival all make sports exciting. An athlete's performance provides entertainment and an emotional release for the audience, who is the first to criticize and the first to recognize skill. For the cheerleader, it is an opportunity to show her school spirit and the enthusiasm of the student body and community. To the coach it is a final test of fundamental skills and teamwork. To the athlete himself, it is a total performance of the skills he has learned through long hours of practice. Hard work, endless criticism and glory face an athlete as he competes in interscholastic sports. thletic

to a Victorious Season Leadership ability, coordination, and appearance are cri- teria for selection of cheerleaders. All girls must have an interest in,sports and must have a real interest for cheerleading before they can try out. We were fortunate in having six girls who did a fine job in leading our team through the 1968-69 season. The 1968-69 varsity squad was composed of: Belinda Cox, and Connie Butt, Senior co-captains, Suzanne Hale, Toni Poer, Debbie Goudy, and Vicki Hinesley, Juniors. During the year these girls put in many after-school hours in order to spread enthusiasm throughout the student body. During the month of June they attended cheerleading camp where they received honors for their skill and for their spirit. The efforts of all athletic teams are improved when there is enthusiastic, organized vocal support from cheerleaders and cheering sections. Sophomore, freshmen and eighth grade girls comprised respectively the Junior Varsity, Freshmen, and Eighth Grade Cheering squads. These girls were certainly instrumental in the many victories enjoyed by the young Raider ball teams. Some of these girls will realize the highlight of their cheerleading careers by being chosen as varsity squad leaders.
