Cheerleaders: The School Spirits Under the new sponsorship of Mrs. Sherry Hodges and Miss Jane Blalock. Varsity cheerleaders faced many new adaptions and changes. The season started off with enthusiasm The student body showed great spirit and vigor during f ep rallies and fotstball games. This began to dwindle, however, toward the end of football and beginning of basketball. This lack of spirit in the stands could be attributed to the team’s losing streak, but spiritlessness among cheerleaders was due to inner conflict. Personality conflicts and zero motivation set both squads on teetering pinacles. But Tabb High continued to exist in all its reality and cheerleaders continued to chant with a passive crowd Lcxrking at it one way, conventional Tabb Tiger Spirit hit a low point this year. But in observing the number of sp ectators at the games, one could conclude that spirit was as high as ever. Tabb has maintained its team supporters, but has shown spirit” in ways other than yelling and chanting at pep rallies. School pride is gotxl in ways and ridiculous past a point. Tabb students may be searching for an answer to this controversy, they may be apathetic, or they may just need an instigator to tap their energy. What ever the case, ' 74-7 has hosted a small change in so-called school spirit,” Good or bad is yet to be interpreted. Robin Collins, Kathy Wallace, Diane Vaughn, Kim Combs.
