Winning Squad Spirited! Lively! Energetic! We're talking about the Varsity Cheerleaders of course. Start- ing in July, the cheerleaders at- tended the National Cheer- leaders Association Summer Clinic. While there, the girls re- ceived three superior ribbons and one excellent ribbon for cheers and routines which were evaluated by the NCA cheer- leaders. Having been chosen as one of the top four squads at the clinic, they were asked to perform in the Squad of Ex- cellence Competition. They were also the recipients of three Spirit Sticks and were allowed to bring one home for the school trophy case. ln August, the squad spon- sored a cheerleading clinic of their own. lt was offered to young girls from age six and up. The trainees were taught cheers and dance routines by the cheerleaders and on the last day, the best groups received awards for their endeavors. With the coming of football season the cheerleaders, on nu- merous occasions, decorated the football team's locker room with candy and good luck posters. ln addition, they sponsored a spaghetti supper for the foot- ball team and participated in the homecoming parade, but most important of all, they dili- gently supported the football and basketball teams' success- ful season.

A Kick In The Grass The soccer team eagerly at- tacked the season. Striving for improvement, the players braved the wet and cold after- noons to polish their skills.

The team played a shortened sched- ule against teams from Aiken High, Midland Valley, and North Augusta. Highlighting the year was a trip to Erskine College where the players were treated royally to a soccer game and to the hospitality of the Erskine players and coaches. Much dedication and hard work by everyone in- volved made the soccer season enjoyable. sm Harry McFadden protects his goal as a corner kick crosses the penalty area.
