PHC CRT5 By: Croig Elliorr This year ' s South High cheerleaders really worked hard to increase the spirit throughout the school. They worked especially hard with the freshmen and the sophomores, who at the beginning of the year seemed to lock spirit, but who by the end of the season, were giving the juniors and seniors a run for their money in the school spirit competi- tion. Mrs. Clark, who is the cheerleading advisor, said, Our girls on all of our squads have worked hard to support the school to the best of their ability, and their best went a long way to en- courage the teams in all the sports. However, cheerleading is not always os glamorous as it appears from the side lines. The young ladies in the short skirts have to put up with such things as. sore throats from yelling, sore feet from stomping, and blistered hands from clapping, but none of these things ever seemed to stop them from cheering at the next game. The squads spend man long hours from early summer ro rhe end of winter, practicing almost every day and planning for pep rallies and locker decoration many nights. In spite of all the long hours and physical discomforts, the 1982-60 cheerleaders never seemed ro lack spirit or en- thusiasm for rhe teams that they cheered on ro victory.
