Spirit of T.H.S. The cheerleaders for the 1980-81 sport season were Kelly Hesman head cheerleader, Teresa Bohling, Renae Koehler, Trish Kremke, and Karen La France. The Junior Varsity were Jill Parrish, head Cheerleader, Jill Hahn, Deb Chritton, and Kim Badertscher. There were no try-outs because not enough girls wanted to be a cheerleader. So the job was given to the girls. They attended a camp at Doane College in Crete July 9-16. They spent the days learning new cheers to use during football and basketball seasons. They also learned routines, jumps, pyramids, and met many friends. They were given each day to practice so they could show the cheerleaders that were in charge of the camp what they had learned in a day. They slowly improved each night. The Junior Varsity were given the chance to compete in the final competition. The Varsity won a trophy for the most improved squad. Throughout the week ribbons were given out for each night’s performance. The J.V.’s brought home 4 ribbons and the Varsity 5 ribbons. There were conflicts among all of them. But things usually turned out okay. They did their best cheerleading without the pep club. GO BIG T” and DEFENSE were among the fan's favorite cheers during basketball districts. Pep rallies and other things were planned by the cheerleaders. Junior Varsity: Top Jill Parrish (head cheerleader), middle Jill Hahn. Kim Badertscher, and Bottom Deb Chritton.
