EVERYBODY SHOUT by Donna Long Clap your hands for the Wildcats is the cheer that you are most likely to hear when you enter Evans Stadium or Tiffany Gym on Friday nights. The Wildcats Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders started camp prepara- tion practice in June followed by the Freshman cheerleaders who began preparing in August for all home freshman games. The cheerleaders attended camp where they finished in the winning bracket by placing third in th e all-around competition. For the first time in South High cheerleading, Donna Long was nominated as an Ail-American candidate. Even though she didn ' t win, Donna says, It definitely was an experience. Through the cold and wet football games and the heat of the gym, one ' ' could always hear the spirited chants of the cheerleaders and their suppor- tive fans. 56

KNIGHTS OF OLD by Krista Lindsay Probably the greatest memory of all my years at South, was the feeling of Homecoming King Brandon Jones as he and Christi Newsome were crowned. It WAS a night to remember. The special events that led up to the actual crowning made the wait en- joyable. There was mass participation in Spirit Week, the pep rally, and the parade in which the members of the Court were featured along with other activity groups from South. The theme of the 1 986 Homecoming was Knights of Old, and the Commons was decorated beautifully for the dance. The D-J played a selection of old songs to which everyone danced and had a great time. I ' ve never seen so many people sweat like that in formal clothing, stated junior, Steve Goodin concerning the large crowd that danced the night away. Homecoming was an exciting, romantic highlight in the school year. 58
