YOU had better sit down, Warriors, chant loyal tribesmen as they break the news Trojans are on the warpath. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! For two months, five days a week, and two hours a day, the seven varsity cheerleaders practiced for a national cheerleading clinic the week of July 17-22 at Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri. The girls alternated mass cheers, pompon routines, and tumbling in the mornings. Afternoons, NCA instruc- tors and special guest speakers gave in- formative lectures on cheerleading know-how. Competing daily in the large group division, the SM cheerers took two firsts, one of them complimented with the spirit stick, two seconds, and an honorable mention. Overall, they ranked Grand Champs Second and re- turned with possession of the spirit stick. Techniques learned at clinic en- abled all three squads to improve old cheers and master new yells for the upcoming season. FORMING a “V for victory, the cheerlead- ers express hope for a winning sports record in the '68-’69 season. SMILES, enthusiasm, and spirit enable the squad to retain permanent possession of the coveted spirit stick.
