Bobby Sox Forever Gone Varsity cheerleaders worked at Mrs. Hodges’ house every Saturday for about a month, sewing new vests for a new uniform. They made the JV jumpers and later in the year, white varsity skirts. Along with the new uniforms came a new stipulation — no bobby socks. So tradition was sacrificed for fashion. Tabb cheerleaders tried something different this year — new mounts and cheers replaced some old-time favorites such as Sitting on the bandstand beating on a . . .” and Tu Tu Bang Bang . . .” The cheering season ended on a high note — a trip to Disney World, Florida with the band. Following the Football plays sometimes became tiring, but cheerleaders wanted to be sure to see what was going on. Football season brought with it pep rallies and excitement. Kim Combs tried to get the small Tabb crowd to yell with her during an away game with Kecoughtan. The Tabb-York football game sparked the old rivalry. A falcon funeral was staged — complete with coffin. Cheerleaders tried many new things to arouse spirit in the stands. Kathy Gaines feeds Mr. Mitchell another banana before removing the blindfold. Mr. Hunt, who turned out to be a banana-hater, was the victim of this contest.” 70 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS
