However, the summer was a time for getting it all together and by the time camp was over, the whole group had experience and confidence. At camp this summer, the 1980-1981 cheerleaders were awarded Most Talented Squad, Super Squad, Most Spirited Squad, and second place overall. When asked what her most satisfying experience as a cheerleader was, Dee Dee Lytle replied, Finally getting my Split Russian without hurting my ankles. The SHS cheerleaders were at the games supporting our team rain or shine, and this year especially rain, as South ' s last three football games were played in pouring rain. When asked how she felt about cheering in the rain, Laverne Hampton replied, I felt that if the football team could play in the rain, we could cheer in the rain.

It was a very positive influence, she said. This year ' s fans were the most spirited ever. Their enthusiasm helped the team through some rough times. Even when the weather was cold, wet, and rainy, the fans cheered the team to victory Friday night after Friday night. The devoted student and faculty fans deserve much praise for their continuous support. Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night stopped Willie ' s Fan Club from their appointed duty of supporting the team from the beginning of the game to the end. We supported the team and the individual members to the best of our ability even when the weather seemed to be against us, said Cyndi Davis. This year ' s Fan Club was one of the biggest South has ever had. The Fan Club, with the help of the advisors and the squad leaders, always seemed to make a difference in the spirit of the crowd. 1.
